Asymmetric molecule, key to life, detected in space for first time

Asymmetric molecule, key to life, detected in space for first time:

THIS FROM REUTERS. 

Scientists for the first time have found a complex organic molecule in space that bears the same asymmetric structure as molecules that are key to life on Earth.

The researchers said on Tuesday they detected the complex organic molecule called propylene oxide in a giant cloud of gas and dust near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

Akin to a pair of human hands, certain organic molecules including propylene oxide possess mirror-like versions of themselves, a chemical property called chirality. Scientists have long pondered why living things make use of only one version of certain molecules, such as the “right-handed” form of the sugar ribose, which is the backbone of DNA.

I still think we were seeded on earth. By accident. Or on purpose.


Fishwrap: Confidence in newspapers, TV news hits bottom

Fishwrap: Confidence in newspapers, TV news hits bottom :
Gallup found that just 20 percent have confidence in newspapers, a 10-point drop in 10 years. TV news saw an identical 10-point drop, from 31 percent to 21 percent.


But I don’t think it’s the left vs right issue causing this .. I think it’s a modern age vs old style 20th century style of thought.

Journalism is not dead. Paid journalism may be. And that’s going to be the struggle of modern reporting.

Orlando Killer Worked For Company Transporting Illegal Immigrants Inside US; Was Interviewed By FBI 3 Times

Orlando Killer Worked For Company Transporting Illegal Immigrants Inside US; Was Interviewed By FBI 3 Times :

But it’s more troubling than even that..



Mateen who according to preliminary reports, had been on a terrorist watchlist, and who still managed to obtain weapons thanks to his various licenses and permits just last week, was employed by one of the world’s largest security companies, where he may have had extensive clearances well above his pay grade, not to mention access to sophisticated military weapons and equipment.

But where it gets more disturbing is that as Judicial Watch reported several days ago, in a post titled, “DHS Quietly Moving, Releasing Vanloads Of Illegal Aliens Away From Border”, border patrol sources said that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was quietly transporting illegal immigrants from the Mexican border to Phoenix and releasing them without proper processing or issuing court appearance documents. As a reminder, the government classifies them as Other Than Mexican (OTM) and this week around 35 were transferred 116 miles north from Tucson to a Phoenix bus station where they went their separate way. Judicial Watch was present when one of the white vans carrying a group of OTMs arrived at the Phoenix Greyhound station on Buckeye Road.

Snapchat video shows moments gunshots ring out inside Orlando’s Pulse nightclub

Snapchat video shows moments gunshots ring out inside Orlando’s Pulse nightclub :

Earlier today I said it was odd no snapchats or videos from inside the Pulse nightclub were becoming public..



Maybe now they will be.


Never underestimate the intelligence of a child

My son paused from games and playing his week to note something to me.. In his innocent five year old voice, he conjectured that ‘there are a lot of bad people on the planet.’



It was a remarkable statement from someone still new to this big hot pale blue mess.



On Friday night he overheard a bit of evening local news describing a small town criminal who killed an infant. I knew he heard it but when I noticed him watching he turned away.



My Tv was glued–a bit–to tragic news of Christina Grimmie being killed and then over 100 being shot at the Pulse night club. It clearly was notice for my son, who had a puzzled looked of sadness on his face when he realized just how many bad guys there were on the planet.



I told him that he was right.. That there were bad people. But I reassured him that there were more good than bad.



Then I secretly pondered how I’d reassure myself of that very sentiment..


Rumors abound online: Multiple shooters at Pulse?

Rumors abound online: Multiple shooters at Pulse?:

Firsthand eyewitness reports indicated the more than one shooter may have been present.. That accomplices were acting ‘together.’ That potentially more suspects are on the loose and that a media blackout is occurring.



A few points.
If there are multiple suspects on the loose that could explain the complete strange lack of real a tail concrete facts so far..
But also these investigations take time.
This was one of the worst shootings on American soil and is a dramatic escalation of terror on the American home land by ISIS. This is a big deal. Is law enforcement is cautious that makes logical sense..



But I also think, regardless of what facts stem from all of this in the final equation, that this is a new form of fear other nations have seen by America has yet to grow to understand. This is the American Bataclan. And it’s just as big of a deal..



My only enduring question….with smartphones and technology, and all of the modern marvels of CCTV, why haven’t we seen any videos inside? No footage. No Periscopes or snapchats. In not calling it a conspiracy but I’m certainly calling it weird.

After a horrible Sunday.. a terrible weekend.. 
IT still is a wonderful world.
We are stuck on this planet of misery, a planet filled with death and insecurity.. sadness and grief.. hunger and terror.

And fear.

The worst thing a human can have in his or her heart is fear.. fear is the future, the present.. sadness of the past.

But this is still a wonderful world..

Somehow, between all of the pain and heartache, bloodshed and turmoil….The world still is a wonderful experiment by some force of nature beyond our collective imaginations…

CBS added that the FBI is currently checking if he was linked to extremists.

According to BBC, Mateen was not on any terrorism watch list, although as CBS also adds Islamic terrorism is being investigated as one of the possible motives behind the mass shooting.

This was the initial headline on the Drudge Report after the Orlando terror attack this morning..


"About 20 people were killed and at least 42 people were wounded when a gunman armed with an assault..."

About 20 people were killed and at least 42 people were wounded when a gunman armed with an assault rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a downtown Orlando nightclub about 2 a.m., Police Chief John Mina said.



The police said they had classified the attack as a “terror incident.” The gunman was not from the Orlando area and was organized and well-prepared, they said.



The gunman was found dead inside the Pulse nightclub, one of the largest in Orlando, about 5 a.m. after a shootout with the police, Chief Mina said.



The chief said it was difficult to assess the number of clubgoers who were killed because, as of 7:15 a.m., many of the bodies had not been removed.



The shooting began inside the club, the chief said, and continued outside when an officer working at Pulse attempted to confront him. The gunman then went back into the club, resumed shooting and took hostages.



At 5 a.m., Chief Mina said, the police decided to rescue the hostages, detonating a “controlled explosion” to help clear the club. At least nine officers were involved in the shooting with the gunman. One of them was slightly injured, the authorities said.



The police called it a “mass casualty” event. The wounded were taken to three area hospitals.
