US Lawmaker Calls for High-Profile Envoy for Sudans
Feb 15th 2013, 16:20

A US congressman with long-time links to Sudan urged Secretary of State John Kerry to appoint a high-profile special envoy to Sudan and South Sudan, to reinvigorate relations with the two countries and stop what he called an ongoing "low-grade genocide."  "Our approach to Sudan and South Sudan needs reinvigorating. It demands a renewed sense of moral clarity about who we are dealing with in Khartoum—namely genocidaires," Virginia Congressman Frank Wolf said in a ...

Russian Dash Cams Capture the Sublime, Seedy and Scary
Feb 15th 2013, 19:46

Russian dashboard cameras have captured some incredible images in recent months. On Friday, they captured stunning videos of a meteor streaking over the Ural Mountains region, and in December of 2012, a dashboard camera captured terrifying images of a plane crash outside Moscow. According to a detailed explanation of Russia's dash cam culture appearing on the website Animal New York, there are several reasons why millions of the cameras have been installed by Russian automobile owners. One ...

Chimpanzee Minds Much Like Humans, In Some Ways Better
Feb 15th 2013, 20:35

At Kyoto University's Primate Research Institute, a chimpanzee named Ayumu is performing a task that is impossible for a person to do, revealing how chimp cognition can mirror -- and in some cases surpass -- the capabilities of the human brain. Sitting in front of a computer monitor that briefly displays the numbers one through nine in a random pattern, the chimp touches the number one. The remaining digits are immediately hidden behind white squares. But Ayumu can touch where each number ...

Feb 15th 2013, 20:36

The planetary science director at the U.S. space agency, NASA, says the huge meteor that streaked across the sky and exploded above Russia's Ural Mountains on Friday was an "exception." Jim Green says "fireballs" of this kind happen on a daily basis, but most of them are not seen because they fall over the ocean or in remote areas. People in Russia's Chelyabinsk region panicked as the 10-ton meteor lit up the morning sky. Its explosion unleashed a shock wave that ...

Asteroid Safely Passes Earth
Feb 15th 2013, 20:11

A massive asteroid has safely passed Earth in the closest known flyby ever for a rock that large. The U.S. space agency, NASA, said the more than 45-meter asteroid passed within 28,000 kilometers of the planet on Friday -- closer than some satellites. The asteroid passed Earth just hours after a much smaller meteor exploded in the sky above Russia's Ural Mountains. NASA scientists warned last week about the asteroid, but said there was no chance the space rock would hit Earth. The ...
