 A cat snuck into a moving van, traveled 1,000 miles over three days and then roamed in some woods for 18 more days before being found. She s definitely a pretty darn independent cat,  10-year-old Annie s owner Ann Roskam said.  She likes to be outdoors all the time but she comes home every morning. When she didn t come home, we thought we d lost her. The cat had jumped into the truck that Roskam s neighbors were using last month to move to Roanoke, Virginia. Temperatures inside the truck during the three-day trip were sweltering. We re carrying boxes and suddenly we see something jump from one box to another,  said Chip Grubb, the father of one of the neighbors.  All things considered, she looked pretty good. But she had been in there for three days without food or water. After running off, Annie finally showed up at a neighbor s house and arrangements were made for a flight home. She arriv stanley cup ed Friday.         She loves to be outdoors, and she needs to be outdoors,  Roskam said.         ponent--type-recirculation .item:n stanley cups th-child 5          display: none;             inline-recirc-item--id-93fdf87c-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c619f5c3d,  right-rail-recirc-item--id-93fdf87c-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c619f5c3d         display: none;             inline-recirc-item--id-93fdf87c-8c88-11e2-b06b-024c619f5c3d ~ .item:nth stanley kubek -child 5          display: block;       Vncz Medical breakthrough could lead to functional artificial skin
 By using lasers to simulate the impact of a large meteor with primordial Earth, researchers have shown how the atom bomb-like collisions might have reconstituted ordinary molecules i stanley taza nto the early building blocks of life.     The new experiment doesn ;t prove that life got started in this way, but it does bolster the l stanley france ong-held theory that life emerged in the wake of cataclysmic impacts during the Late Bombardment Period. And indeed, some the earliest precursors to life on Earth emerged at this time when the Solar System   asteroid belt was bigger and stray objects hit our planet with great regularity. This Ancient Asteroid Strike Was More Insane Than We Realized  The Tortured History Of Earth   First 500 Million Years  Writing in the LA Times, Geoffrey Mohan explains more: The feigned cataclysm took place in a lab in Prague, Czech Republic, using a 492-foot laser system to create a high-density plasma, with temperatures soaring to about 7,640 degrees Fahrenheit, and see its effects on a pool of formamide. That chemical, commonly used in making sulfa drugs, has been identified in the tail of comets and around young stars, and some researchers believe it could have been present on the early Earth nearly 4 billion years ago. In the experiment, the formamide broke down and recombined, forming precursors to the four basic building blocks of RNA and DNA, the cornerstones of life 8230; [ 8230;] If you want to solve a problem of DNA and RNA, first you botella stanley  have to

  AP  NEW YORK - A New York man was convicted Tuesday of plotting an aborted suicide mission against New York City subways in 2009  151; a case that featured the first-time testimony from admitted homegrown terrorists about al Qaeda s fixation with pulling off another attack on America soil.A jury found Adis Medunjanin guilty of all counts for his role in a terror plot that federal authorities say was one of the closest calls since Sept. 11, 2001.

 Throughout the 1950s, broadcast television was limited to domestic transmissions simply because we didn ;t have a means to relay signals far enou stanley cup gh to span the vast expanse of the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn ;t until NASA shot Telsta stanley bottles r, an unproven, newfangled  822 cups stanley 0;active communications satellite into orbit in 1963, that mass media truly become an international phenomenon.     Science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke may be credited with first envisioning an active satellite  one that actively re-transmits signals, not just reflect them  in 1945 but it was John Pierce of Bell Telephone Laboratories that proved they could work in his 1955 paper Orbital Radio Relays in the journal, Jet Propulsion. However, it took five years of cajoling his management鈥攄uring which time Soviet Russia launched Sputnik and started the Space Race鈥攁nd the formation of NASA for Pierce   idea to come to fruition. In January 1960, AT 038;T, NASA, Bell Telephone Labs, GKO  a British telecom , and National PTT  a French telecom  all entered into an agreement to develop satellite communications over the Atlantic Ocean by building, launching, and operating an  experimental satellite based on Pierce   design. Bell Labs would build the satellite, NASA would launch it, and the telecoms would be responsible for its operation. This sort of public-private cooperation was unheard of in the fledgling aerospace industry and would become the first privately spons
