WASHINGTON -- After six years of unprecedented exploration of the Red Planet, NASA s Mars Exploration Rover Spirit no longer will be a fully mobile robot. NASA has designated the once-roving scientific explorer a

stanley cups uk in the next few weeks will be to position itself to combat the severe Martian winter. If Spirit survives, it will continue conducting significant new science from its final location. The rover s mission could continue for several months to years. Spirit is not dead; it has just entered another phase of its long life, said Doug McCuistion, director of the Mars Exploration Program at NASA Headquarters in Washington. We told the world last year that attempts to set the beloved robot free may not be successful. It looks like Spirit s current location on Mars will be its final resting place. Ten months ago, as Spirit was driving south beside the western edge of a low plateau called Home Plate, its wheels broke through a crusty surface and churned into soft sand hidden underneath. After Spirit became embedded, the rover team crafted plans for trying to get the six-wheeled vehicle free using its five functioning wheels - the sixth wheel quit working in 2006, limiting Spirit s mobility. The planning included experiments with a test rover in a sandbox at NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., plus analy Uliu Imgur Bans NSFW Content, Begins Purge

Now, new research published in the journal Current Biology suggests that hearing a scream may activate the brain fear circuitry, acting as a cautionary signal.Scream science is a new area of study, so David Poeppel, a professor of psychology and neural science at New York University, and his co-

They measured the scream volume and looked at how volunteers responded behaviorally to screams.
