TORRE: UK T Shut Down For Good Database Deleted

Pingie: HTTP:: Genetic Legacy Awards Killer Lighter Sentence

HTTP:: Genetic Legacy Awards Killer Lighter Sentence
--------
In a trial that could set a questionable precedent, an Italian court reduced the sentence it gave to a convicted killer, after taking into account behavioral genetics. That is to say, the judges kept in mind the fact that the individual had a number of genes that have been associated with violent behavior, and decided that this merited reducing the time the killer has to spend in jail by a full year. Some scientists, however, doubt that the decision was based on accurate scientific evidence, saying that behavioral genetics is only a new field of research, where a lot of work is still to be done. In other words, the judges were premature in their sentencing, Nature News reports. On March 10, 2007, Abdelmalek Bayout, an Algerian citizen, killed Walter Felipe Novoa Perez, a Colombian individual living in Italy, over an insult the victim allegedly brought to him. During the first trials, three independent psychiatric assessments were asked by the judge, Paolo Alessio Verni, in !
order to determine if Bayout was sane of mind. The killer's lawyer, Tania Cattarossi, had argued that her client was mentally ill at the time of the killings. Verni took into account Bayout's illness, and sentenced him to 9 years and 2 months, which is some 3 years less than what the Algerian would have received, had he been deemed sane ...

HTTP:: Details on Adam Lambert s Debut Album Surface
--------
Ever since Adam Lambert was still a contestant on the ever so popular televised competition American Idol, his millions of fans around the world could hardly wait for him to come out with his own material. Now, they have not only the powerful rock ballad “Time for Miracles,” and the disco-inspired “For Your Entertainment,” but also the full official tracklist and list of collaborators for the album, as revealed by Rolling Stone.Anticipation for the debut album, which drops this month, has been building slowly but it’s undoubtedly going to soar now that all the details regarding it have been made public. It’s safe to say, the music magazine points out, that the consideration of the artists Lambert has chosen to work with alone will get many on their toes, as this promises to be one of the most original and impacting materials of recent times, Lady Gaga’s work included. “[The album’s] revelations: ‘Whataya Want from Me’ was co-written by Pink and ‘Time!
for Miracles’ resurfaces as a bonus track.” Rolling Stone writes in light of the details recently made available. As fans must already know by now, initial reports said that “Time for Miracles,” the track that will run with the ending credits of the doomsday film &l...

Pingie: HTTP:: Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman Split

HTTP:: Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman Split
--------
They’ve long been tabloid fodder, as their romance supposedly started when Jon Gosselin was not yet officially separated from now-estranged wife Kate Gosselin. Yet both Hailey Glassman and Jon himself have repeatedly stated the contrary, insisting it was true love what they had. Whether that has changed might very well be the case, as Extra has learned the two are officially taking a break from the relationship. The report comes on the heels of Glassman doing a two-part special interview with The Insider in which she revealed that Gosselin was what one might call emotionally abusive to her. However, one should note, Jon did state only hours after the interview aired that he was one hundred percent supportive of his girlfriend, even promising he would do something about his behavior in the future. Nevertheless, sources claim the breakup had nothing to do with this.“Jon Gosselin has split from Hailey Glassman, ‘Extra’ has exclusively learned. ‘They’re taking a bre!
ak,’ an insider told ‘Extra,’ adding that it may not be permanent. After meeting with famed Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (who also advised Michael Jackson) for regular study sessions and counseling, Gosselin ‘apparently decided he needed to spend some time on his own,’ the source says.” Extra...

Pingie: HTTP:: Oldest Spiderweb Was Laid 140 Million Years Ago

HTTP:: Oldest Spiderweb Was Laid 140 Million Years Ago
--------
English researchers have recently announced that they managed to discover the oldest spiderweb ever to be included in the fossil record. University of Oxford paleontologist Martin Brasier was the lead researcher of a new investigations team that analyzed the pieces of amber found in Sussex, England. The investigators determined that liquid resin trapped inside a spiderweb was laid some 140 million years ago, alongside ancient microbes, plant matter and other artifacts, LiveScience reports.“These turn out to be the earliest webs that have ever been incorporated in the fossil record to our knowledge,” Brasier says. According to botanists, the viscous tree sap must have oozed from the tree's bark, and then flow over the spider web, before hardening for millions of years. The structure of the web was thus very well preserved, and contributes to advancing scientists' knowledge about the ancestors of the modern arthropods. In order to do that, the English team resorted to som!
e pretty advanced pieces of technology. To visualize the structure of the spider web, as well as the way in which the silk threads were interwoven, the experts used a computer technique known as confocal microscopy that essentially allowed them to reconstruct the webs in their entirety. According to preliminary analysis results,...
