Seattle, Washington (U.S.), fire crews, responding to reports of a natural gas leak, are caught in an explosion that injures nine firefighters. The explosion blew out windows in businesses and storefronts in the surrounding blocks. Three businesses were destroyed and a fourth was heavily damaged. "There’s nothing but rubble and bricks," a resident said. Search dogs are working to ensure no one else is under the rubble. The Seattle Police Arson Bomb Unit and Puget Sound Energy are investigating the cause of the explosion.

"We do not know who they were but we foiled them."

MONDAY, March 7, 2016 (HealthDay News) -- Teens with poor physical fitness are at higher risk for diabetes much later in life, even if they're not overweight or obese, a new study finds. The research involved about 1.5 million Swedes who all underwent physical fitness tests when they were conscripted into the military at age 18. Their health outcomes were then tracked up to the age of 62. Poor aerobic fitness and low muscle strength at age 18 was linked to a tripling of risk for diabetes in adulthood, regardless of the person's body weight, reports a team led by Dr. Casey Crump of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. The study was f…

Alzheimer’s disease could be caused by viruses like herpes, a group of renowned dementia experts have warned, as they call for urgent investigation into the link. The worldwide team of 31 senior scientists and clinicians, which include specialists from Oxford, Cambridge, Edinburgh and Manchester Universities and Imperial College, have written an editorial which suggests that microbes are the major cause of dementia. The herpes virus - the type which causes cold sores - and chlamydia bacteria are named as the major culprits, as well as a type of corkscrew-shaped bacteria called spirochaete. Currently most scientists are trying to find treatments which preven…

The wonder material graphene has recently led to another exciting scientific breakthrough, this time involving the building blocks of life. Whereas the process of reading DNA has so far been a laborious, expensive, and time consuming chemical process, a new breakthrough using graphene could transform the gene sequencing industry. New research from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has simulated how DNA sequencing could become much faster and more accurate through a nanopore sequencing process: a single DNA molecule gets pulled through a tiny, chemically active hole in a super thin sheet of graphene, allowing changes in electrical current to b…

High fibre diet 'can cut risk of developing breast cancer'

Young girls and women who eat diets high in fibre cut the risk of developing breast cancer, a new study has found. Researchers at Harvard found that those who who ate more fibre in early adulthood, particularly from fruits and vegetables, were 16 per cent less likely to get breast cancer overall. This figure rose to 24 per cent in breast cancer before the menopause. Every additional 10 grams of fibre that women ate each day during early adulthood cut the risk by 13 per cent, according to the study. This amounts to around one apple and two slices of whole wheat bread, or half a cup of kidney beans and cauliflower or squash, according to the study published …

Study says drug blocks enzymes involved in growth of cancerous tumours Group of 13,000 cardiac patients focus of the research by Italian scientists Nearly 50,000 new cases of prostate cancer every year and 11,000 deaths Aspirin is already taken by millions of Britons with heart disease, but now it seems it may also protect men with heart trouble from prostate cancer. A study of more than 13,000 cardiac patients showed that men taking aspirin had substantially lower levels of prostate cancer than those who did not take it. Overall, they were 36 per cent less likely to get the disease – and among those who had been taking aspirin regularly for fiv…

"The Story of God with Morgan Freeman," is a new National Geographic Channel show that explores this question and more. Who Is God Who or what is God, to you? That is the question people found themselves answering in "Street Spirituality: Who Is God," a new video produced by National Geographic. People from 22 countries, around the world, described what God is to them in the video, and the answers ranged from "a character in a book" to "whatever feeds and gives strength to each person." Some people, in the video, gave answers like "love" and "everything," which HuffPost Religion has found to be among the most common descriptors used for God. And wh…

Blockchain -- the Distributed Ledger Technology -- is on the lips and in the good books of most large financial institutions at present from Goldman Sachs to JP Morgan; from UBS to Credit Suisse; from Barclays to Royal Bank of Scotland; from BBVA to Commonwealth Bank of Australia; and State Street. Together they were the founding members of a Blockchain technology standardisation consortium called R3-CEV* in New York. Whether one is in New York or London, Frankfurt or Zurich, Dubai or Mumbai, Hong Kong or Tokyo, there's no denying the immutable truth in regard to Blockchain technology's imminent impact. Blockchain is about to fundamentally change our global mark…

With a modularized, cellular wing design that looks like a flying set of cupboards, the unmanned aircraft is a hybrid of fixed-wing and rotary wing technologies designed to create a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) aircraft that boasts greater range and speed capabilities. The goal is to build a demonstrator aircraft that can reach a top sustained speed of 300 to 400 knots (345 to 460 mph, 555 to 740 km/h), hover with an efficiency of at least 75 percent instead of the current 60 percent, reduce the cruise lift-to-drag ratio from five or six to 10, and carry a payload equal to 40 percent of the X-Plane's 10,000 to 12,000 lb (4,536 to 5,443 kg) gross weight. …
