NASA's New Year's Resolution: Have 2 Gravity Probes Orbit the Moon (SPACE.com)
SPACE.com - A NASA spacecraft is circling the moon, with another closing in today (Jan. 1) in back-to-back lunar arrivals to ring in the New Year at Earth's nearest neighbor. -
07:42Reuters - A strong earthquake with a magnitude of 7.0 jolted eastern and northeastern Japan on Sunday, but there were no immediate reports of injuries or damages and no tsunami warning was issued.

Brave new world
Starting Jan. 1 2012 biologists will be able to publish new names for algae, fungi and plants in electronic-only journals, according to the new rules for nomenclature accepted by the XVIII International Botanical Congress in Melbourne in July 2011. The journal PhytoKeys, the premier open access journal of plant taxonomy, pioneered an electronic-only publishing workflow in a series of papers to be published in the first week of January 2012. -
06:00Atomization spray is a widely applicable technology in which bulk liquid is separated into fragments and droplets by the action of aerodynamic forces. In Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy, a paper reviewed the academic study and modeling of effervescent atomization and systemically presented the mathematical treatments of liquid fragmentation process and dispersed particle movements.

06:00When it comes to whether or not you will develop exfoliation syndrome -- an eye condition that is a leading cause of secondary open-angle glaucoma and increased risk of cataract as well as cataract surgery complications -- age, gender and where you live does matter. Find out more in the study, the "Demographic and Geographic Features of Exfoliation Glaucoma in two United States-Based Prospective Cohorts" are published in the January 2012 issue of Ophthalmology.

06:00Young diabetics may be struggling to get a good night's sleep, resulting in worse control of their blood sugar, poorer school performance and misbehavior, according to a study appearing in the January edition of the journal Sleep. Researchers also found that nearly one-third of the youths in their study had sleep apnea, regardless of weight. Sleep apnea is associated with Type 2 diabetes.

06:00The binding of proteins to substrates is essential for organic life. In the 54th issue of Science China, one paper investigates the relationship between environmental temperature and the capture radius for protein binding. It was found that the largest capture radius corresponds to the folding transition temperature of a protein chain. The results could provide valuable reference data for future research.

Milking the moment
I like my food to be as pure as possible. But is there any danger in drinking unpasteurised milk?
Raw milk is hot right now, feted by fans for its "cow to cup" direct supply chain. Of course the milk itself never gets hot at all. Unlike "normal" milk, which is heated to 72C to achieve pasteurisation, raw milk remains steadfastly unpasteurised. Naturally, shunning the pathogen-busting work of Louis Pasteur it's a controversial tipple.
But it is a relatively low-emissions drink compared to conventional milk (although it should be noted that all animal-based products have a substantial footprint). Unlike the 13bn litres of normal milk processed each year by three main processors in 100 sites across the UK, this raw milk is not pre-chilled, siloed, separated, homogenised, pasteurised and refrigerated before being trucked to retailers. Rather, a metal pump moves the milk from the cow into the next room to be bottled and cooled. It's then sold via farmers' markets or direct from the farm. So farms producing raw milk direct for sale (from small-scale and, grass-fed herds) can command a higher price rather than the low farmgate price offered by conventional routes.
Proponents attest to enormous nutritional health benefits and the superior taste of raw milk. Their advocacy can border on evangelical. "It is my right to drink raw milk," one fan tells me. This type of militancy is brought on by the fact that agencies charged with public health tend to be suspicious of raw milk. To many, rejecting a tried-and-tested method of eliminating the possibility of salmonella and E coli is tantamount to playing Russian roulette with your health. I think they have a point. Yes, raw milk has some slight green benefits, but enough to merit the risk? In any case there are huge limits on the sale and consumption of raw milk. In the US, where advocates are particularly militant, small farmers selling raw milk have been raided and licences revoked. The sustainable food advocate Michael Pollan does not endorse raw milk, but he suggests that this show of force is a bit rich given the leniency shown to health scares in the industrialised food chain. He calls the measures taken against US raw-milk producers "political theatre".
Well, best get ringside seats for the UK showing. At the time of writing a dispenser had just been unveiled in Selfridges selling raw milk with a health warning. No sooner had the dispenser, a concession of a Sussex farm, begun pouring than the Food Standards Agency claimed its sale contravened food-hygiene legislation, a charge Selfridges disputes. Will the dispenser still be in situ by the time you read this? I can't say, but if you develop an appetite for raw milk you'll need the stomach to fight for it, too.
