<title>What's Curling?</title>
<link>http://eightend.commongate.com/post/What_s_Curling</link>
<description><![CDATA[The game of curling is thought to have been invented in late medieval Scotland. It's a team sport with similarities to bowling and bocce ball, but played on a rectangular sheet of carefully prepared ice by two teams of four players each. Teams alternate turns at sliding heavy, polished granite stones down the ice towards the target area called the house. Two sweepers with brooms accompany each rock and use their best judgment along with direction from their teammates to help guide the stones...]]></description>

<title>Plants 'Recognize' Their Siblings</title>
<link>http://science.commongate.com/post/Plants_Recognize_Their_Siblings</link>
<description><![CDATA[Plants are able to recognise their siblings, according to a study appearing today in the Royal Society journal Biology Letters.

Researchers at McMaster University have found that plants get fiercely competitive when forced to share their pot with strangers of the same species, but theyâre accommodating when potted with their siblings.

âThe ability to recognize and favour kin is common in animals, but this is the first time it has been shown in plantsâ Susan Dudley, associate...]]></description>

<title>Yay... Someone Else Loves Legos Too</title>

<description><![CDATA[NEW YORK (CNN) -- Nathan Sawaya's workspace is an explosion of color.

Clear plastic crates stuffed with LEGO bricks in every hue are stacked high against the walls. A computer sits on the floor, but it's not functional. The red, yellow and blue replica is made entirely of LEGO.

In fact, everything in the room is made of LEGO; a cash register, a monkey, a bowl of fruit, a vase of flowers.

Here in Sawaya's Manhattan studio, the 33-year-old artist snaps bricks together to create...]]></description>

<title>Pink Grapefriut Juice Rocks</title>

<description><![CDATA[Pink grapefruit juice provides more nutrients per calorie than any other 100 percent fruit juice, according to a new study that analyzed several juices commonly found in major U.S. markets.

The pucker-inducing pink drink just edged out orange juice, which also ranked high, but soundly beat white grapefruit, pineapple, prune, grape and apple juices, which rated in that order, with non-citrus juices like apple falling behind high vitamin C content varieties.

But raw fruit is usually better...]]></description>

<title>Russian Faces Litvinenko Charge</title>

<description><![CDATA[A Russian former KGB officer should be charged with the murder by poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, the UK's director of public prosecutions has recommended.

Sir Ken Macdonald said Andrei Lugovoi should be tried for the "grave crime".

Mr Litvinenko, 43, an ex-FSB agent and a critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died in London last November.

Mr Lugovoi denied any involvement and said the charges against him were "politically motivated"; the Kremlin said he would not be...]]></description>

<title>The Very Simple Science of Exercise</title>

<description><![CDATA[Frequency
This relates to how many times a week you need to exercise in order to become fitter or improve or maintain your health. To be healthy, experts recommend being physically active on at least five days out of seven.

This might sound like a lot, but don't forget that our bodies have evolved over four million years to hunt. With our biological inheritance, it's not surprising that to keep in shape we need to be active on most days.

Intensity
Exercise intensity can be measured in a...]]></description>

<title>Nanotechnology fights Cancer</title>
<link>http://world.commongate.com/post/Nanotechnology_fights_Cancer</link>
<description><![CDATA[SYDNEY (Reuters) - An Australian biotechnology firm said on Thursday it had developed a means of delivering anti-cancer drugs directly to cancer cells, which aims to avoid the debilitating toxicity associated with chemotherapy.

The method uses nanotechnology, which involves molecules far smaller than a human cell.

Direct targeting of chemotherapy drugs would allow dosages thousands of times lower than that in conventional chemotherapy and be more easily tolerated by patients, said the...]]></description>
