Doping and Tour De France have a long history together. This year too, all hopes of a dope free Tour were dashed as doping reared its ugly head with two riders testing positive. Every year the organizers and the WADA speak tough on doping, urging the cyclists to compete cleanly, but their pleas are often fallen on deaf and stubborn ears. The Tour, considered to be the holy grail of cycling, the ul

There are a few topics/subjects that arouse the normally even-keeled Mondesi's House readers into a frenzy. One, as you've obviously seen earlier today, is outgoing ESPN Radio personality Mark Madden. Another is any mention of the words "Pitt" and "Penn State" in the same sentence. And recently, another local celebrity seems to be throwing his hat into the ring of controversy on a regular basis. H

I have started to believe of late, that one should try to keep away from the Osho communes and his followers. The master was so impressive that you start expecting his followers to match his virtuosity too at least in some degree, which is too much of an expectation unfortunately. A majority of them can [...]
Product Description

Botox has been garnering considerable attention recently with reports of alleged casualties and deaths due to the administration of this toxin surfacing. The treatment has constantly been in the limelight ever since its benefits for medical and cosmetic surgery use was discovered. The stigma attached to botulinum is mainly due to the nature of the material. In its pure state the toxin is a very harmful substance. Medical research harnessed the paralyzing properties of botulinum and created botulinum type A or Botox cosmetic which is used as to paralyze wrinkle-causing muscles.The application of the Botox cosmetic is currently approved for the area between the eyebrows, the outer corners of the eyes, around the mouth and in the neck.More recent uses for FDA approved Botox is for treati

An essay in today’s issue of Nature struck a contentious cord at the intersection of modern science and politics: that of the ethical regulation of science. The context of ethics and science was succinctly summed up:
When in 1978 the first baby was born by in vitro fertilization (IVF) it was inevitable that there would be calls for the procedure to be prohibited. That science develops too fast for morality had become the cliché of the twentieth century.
Focusing on IVF in Britain, this essay by Mary Warnock is narrow in scope. The same principles can be applied to the use of recombinant genetics and embryonic stem cell research, to name a couple more. The instant that these breakthroughs hit the world stage, they have sparked uproars from “moral authorities,” but in the end, it is largely the scientists that regulate themselves. (the National Academies of Science have been the ones to issue the ethical guidelines on the conduct of all of the above forms of biomedi
It would seem that the Baron's Palace in Greater Cairo, after the Great Pyramid and Sphinx of Giza, is subject to more fables, legends and rumors than any other monument in Egypt. I was astounded to hear from a guide, who was very serious, that the old palace was build upon a type of turnstile that would rotate the whole building so that its windows were always facing the sun. Of course, that was urban legend in Cairo, but for many years, this building in Heliopolis has ignited the imagination of the local population with all manner of fables, legends and rumors.Today, the Baron’s Hindu Palace remains the subject of countless rumors. From time to time new rumors spread about this landmark which has been deserted for many years. It’s haunted by bats, stray dogs, and others believe by ghosts. And while the place attracts some architects for it richness, it also seems to have attracted teenagers for their wild parties. They would break into the place on weekends, drink beer and smoke

When you think about it, this is a foreshadowing of what the remainder of our lives will entail with regards to the Hall of Fame elections unless . . .
You expect controversy in politics. Every
religious story comes served with intense debate. And you almost demand
hullabaloo in sport. But controversy in science? Scientific controversies are
actually quite common, and throughout history, within and outside the
scientific community, battles have raged over many topics, from Galileo vs. the
Catholic church over the motion of the planets, to Einstein not believing in
quantum mechanics, and current debates over global warming, intelligent design
and stem cell research. But the controversy that we are dealing with today is
astronomical in size, yet deals with the runt of the litter. Whatever do we do
with Pluto? A few months back, when we did a Mr Science show on Pluto, we all
slept soundly in the knowledge that Pluto was a planet. But now things have
changed, and Pluto has been demoted to a new class of heavenly body called a
Dwarf Planet.
