Supernova Blast Cause
Of Mammoth Extinction?
A distant supernova that exploded 41,000 years ago may have led to the extinction of the mammoth, according to research that will be presented tomorrow by Berkeley Lab nuclear scientist Richard Firestone. Firestone, who conducted the research with Arizona geologist Allen West, will unveil this theory at the second "International Conference of the World of Elephants" in Hot Springs, SD. Their theory joins the list of possible culprits responsible for the demise of mammoths, which last roamed North America roughly 13,000 years ago. Scientists have long eyed climate change, disease, or intensive hunting by humans as likely suspects. Now, a supernova may join the lineup. Full story.

Years of Research
Ruined in Katrina Flood
As rising floodwaters swamped New Orleans, Louisiana's chief epidemiologist enlisted state police on a mission to break into a high-security government lab and destroy any dangerous germs before they could escape or fall into the wrong hands. Armed with bolt cutters and bleach, Raoult Ratard's team entered the state's so-called "hot lab," and killed all the living samples. Many other scientists in the region have lost years of research, either through storm damage or voluntary destruction. Full story.
