Http://cosmicdoc.com (www.cosmicdoc.com) launches the book 'Opening the Door to the Worlds' by Dr Annie Paxton, a retired British medical doctor. She describes herself as having acted as scribe to a number of cosmic civilisations. The writings offer an astonishing cosmic perspective of the transformation planet Earth is undergoing as its climate changes : global warming is part of the process of the planet's own evolution, and humanity can do nothing about it. The website encourages an expansion of the dialogues begun in the book and seeks to alleviate in advance the fear many people will experience as matters get progressively worse. (PRWeb Jul 2, 2009)

(National Oceanography Centre, Southampton (UK)) Researchers from the National Oceanography Center, Southampton, have drawn together 200 years' worth of oceanographic knowledge to investigate the distribution of a notorious deep-sea giant -- the king crab. The results, published this week in the Journal of Biogeography, reveal temperature as a driving force behind the speciation and radiation of a major seafloor predator -- globally, and over tens of millions of years of Earth's history.

(Carnegie Mellon University) A new algorithm developed by Carnegie Mellon University computer scientists has revealed for the first time how genetic networks in the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, evolve during the insect's life cycle. The new algorithm, called Tesla, incorporates machine learning techniques that enable researchers to figure out how the rewiring of those networks takes place as the insect develops.
