Massive Ron Paul Internet Fundraising Day

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "The December 16th money bomb for Ron Paul starts after midnight Eastern time. The last big RP money bomb raised over $4 million and broke online fund-raising records. The 16th is shaping up to be even bigger, with nearly twice the number of pledges, and will likely break Hillary's $6.2 mil one-day record (for funds raised from all sources)."

Human evolution accelerating 1

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "A new paper (PDF) just being released shows that not only have humans not stopped evolving, the rate of evolution has massively increased during the past 40,000 years, thanks to bigger population sizes and varied environments. Lead author John Hawks has posted the first of several blog entries about the research. Wired and the LA Times have additional coverage."

Era of Personal Genomics upon us 1

Submitted by corded
corded writes "Yesterday, deCODE genetics announced the launch of their $985 personal genotyping product, deCODEme (video), beating their competitors to market. Perhaps not coincidentally, 23andMe's website is suddenly much more informative today, and the New York Times features a preview of 23andMe's $999 offering. deCODEme and 23andMe will scan about a million and 600,000 sites across the genome, respectively and assess your risk for common diseases, along with providing information about ancestry, physical traits, and the ability to compare genes with friends and family."

PURGE COMPLETE.
