 End
Of Mosquito's Long Reign Of Terror Now In Sight
The mosquito may be nature's most effective bioterrorist, accounting
for millions of deaths each year. But the end of its eons' long
reign of terror may be in sight. Scientists have begun to apply
the power of genomics and molecular biology to understand how the
mosquito detects the subtle chemical cues that lead it to its targets.
"The mosquito is the most dangerous animal on the planet. It relies
on its sense of smell to find the source of its blood meals. So
understanding how its olfactory system works at the molecular level
should suggest new and novel ways to keep it from spreading catastrophic
diseases," says Laurence J. Zwiebel, assistant professor of biological
sciences at Vanderbilt. more

 Quantum
Games
Say the Starship Enterprise faces a dire emergency, and Captain
Picard is preparing for the worst. Suddenly, Q appears on the scene.
This all-powerful but malevolent being offers to help, provided
that Picard can beat him at a childishly simple game involving a
penny. The adversaries start with a closed box containing a penny,
heads up. Neither can see into the box at any time. Hiding his action
from Picard, Q either flips over the box (and the penny) or leaves
it as it is. Picard then takes a turn, after which Q gets a final
chance. Q wins if the penny is heads up when the adversaries together
open the box. more
