The power of speaking ladylike

Does gender make a difference in the way politicians speak and are spoken to? This is the question posed in a new study1 by Dr. Carmelia Suleiman and Daniel O'Connell from Florida International University published this week in the Journal of Psycholinguistic Research. The study of transcripts of three television and two radio interviews of Bill and Hillary Clinton provided Suleiman with a unique opportunity to study perspectives of two politicians and their interviewers.

   09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Atmospheric outflows, auroral emissions and plasma winds? While those aren't terms we hear on the average weather forecast, they cause cosmic storms that rage just outside the Earth's atmosphere and often wreak havoc with telecommunications networks, power grids and other technology essential to Canadian society. Researchers are hoping to gain a better understanding of this "space weather" with a suite of scientific instruments being developed under the leadership of the University of Calgary's Institute for Space Research.

4. Step on the gas -- New fuel cell design adds control, reduces complexity
   01-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   When Princeton University engineers want to increase the power output of their new fuel cell, they just give it a little more gas -- hydrogen gas, to be exact. This simple control mechanism, which varies the flow of hydrogen fuel to control the power generated, was previously thought impossible and is a potentially major development in fuel cell technology.

6. Solar power at play
   03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   For the very first time, astronomers have witnessed the speeding up of an asteroid's rotation, and have shown that it is due to a theoretical effect predicted but never seen before. The asteroid's rotation period currently decreases by 1 millisecond every year, as a consequence of the heating of the asteroid's surface by the Sun. Eventually it may spin faster than any known asteroid in the solar system and even break apart.
