News of of the day:1."Some scientists have found that certain plants can scrub your home of airborne chemicals gradually. According to Dr. Clifford W. Bassett, an allergist at New York University school of Medicine, a good rule of thumb is to have one plant for roughly every 100 square feet of living space. 
The plants are : 1.Devil's ivy 2. Peace lilies, 3. Pleomel 4,Gerbera 5.Daisies and 6. Sansevieria trifasciata, commonly called snake plant."Anahad O'connor in NYT,
2."A new theory is pouring some cold — actually, some  really hot — water on the idea that Mar :s could have been habitable in the past.
Planetary scientists searching the Red Planet for places that could have contained the building blocks for life look for clues in clays, which can offer some indication that water must have flowed on or just under Mars' surface. But a new study suggests that, at least in some cases, those clays might be a red herring.
A paper published online Sunday by the journal Nature Geoscience argues that such clays might have been formed in hot Martian magma rich in water. If so, that water would have been far too hot to support microbial life." Los Angeles Times, Science, dt., 10th Sept., 2012 on line.
