How Does Asparagus Make Urine Smell? | eHow.com - http://www.ehow.com/how-doe...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"If you've ever eaten asparagus, something strange may have happened about 20 minutes after eating it. Perhaps you noticed, perhaps you didn't, but chances are that tasty asparagus side dish left something behind for you. Sure, it's a rather odd token of appreciation, but that popular green veggie called asparagus is known to cause a rather strange smell in the urine of those who consume it." - Jenny H - -

"Since both methyl mercaptan and asparagine are associated with the sense of smell, there is debate over which ingredient is actually responsible for the asparagus-urine phenomenon. Depending upon whom you ask, some scientists may blame it on the methyl mercaptan while others argue that asparagine is the cause for the odor. Some even think that it's the combination of both compounds. Regardless of the exact culprit, the reason why your urine smells after eating asparagus is simple: because of the way your body breaks it down." - Jenny H - -

Europe Starting to Dive Under Africa? - http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news...

"Other scientists are intrigued by the possible subduction zone—but they remain cautious. "I didn't hear the talk, but it's perfectly plausible," Seth Stein, a geophysics professor at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, said in an email. For instance, other parts of the Mediterranean region—such as mainland Italy—have seen tectonic changes in the past two million years, he said. Still, deciphering these changes is a very complex process, said Chris Goldfinger, director of the Active Tectonics and Seafloor Mapping Laboratory at Oregon State University in Corvallis. "I'd have to spend a week with the data to have any opinion that was worth anything," he said by email. Study leader Wortel added that the formation of a subduction zone is a slow process: "These processes happen at the time scale of several million years," he said. For example, he said, most established subduction zones are marked by giant undersea trenches. A similar trench should eventually form in the Mediterranean—but certainly not overnight." - Jenny H - -

"Europe may be starting to dive under Africa, creating a new subduction zone and potentially increasing the earthquake risk in the western Mediterranean Sea, scientists report. Subduction zones form where tectonic plates collide, with one plate diving beneath the other and into Earth's mantle. Sometimes these collisions are gradual, but often they occur in big lurches that can trigger quakes. Because subduction zones are generally on seabeds, earthquakes in these zones can set off tsunamis, like the killer wave that devastated Japan last month." - Jenny H - -

Solar: California's new gold rush | The Desert Sun | MyDesert.com - http://www.mydesert.com/article...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

"The California Energy Commission and federal Department of the Interior have approved eight major solar projects in Southern California since last year, including seven projects in the deserts north and east of the Coachella Valley. All but two of the approved plans utilize largely undeveloped public land managed by the federal Bureau of Land Management." - Jenny H - -

"Another eight utility-scale solar projects are also in the permitting pipeline for Riverside and Imperial counties, promising an additional 2,173 megawatts of renewable energy generation. And long-range plans are in the works that could open up millions more public acres to solar development in six western states, with the largest proposed solar energy zone in Riverside County. “California is the national leader in clean energy, and our great state is poised to become the world leader in renewable energy generation,” Gov.Jerry Brown said Monday." - Jenny H - -

I was born and raised on a potato farm in Idaho. It is where I ran through fields, dug potatoes out of the dirt, played in the spud cellar, climbed and fell out of trees, got shocked on electric fences, chased across pastures by bulls, played cowpie frisbee, milked cows, and sled down canal banks in the winter. #SaturdayFF
