Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST)
This site provides background and updates on the construction of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), which "will provide time-lapse digital imaging of faint astronomical objects across the entire sky."Features details about the telescope (to be located in northern Chile) and areas planned for study by the telescope (such as dark energy and near-Earth objects), photos, material for scientists, and more. LSST is "a collaboration of a number of national labs and organizations." [Odd] A Romanian couple has named their son Yahoo as a sign of gratitu

Illegal Drug Use Could Account For 1 Million Visits A Year To Emergenc
Illegal drug use could account for up to 1 million visits a year to emergency care departments and 400,000 admissions to hospital in England, suggests research in Emergency Medicine Journal. The findings are based on anonymous interviews with patients visiting an inner city hospital emergency care department in South West England during a typical week. New Imaging System Maps Nanomechanical Properties
NIST has developed an imaging system that quickly maps the mechanical properties of materials -- how stiff or stretchy they are, for example -- at scales on the order of billionths of a meter. The new tool can be a cost-effective way to design and characterize mixed nanoscale materials such as composites or thin-film structures. Popular Asthma Medication Linked To Respiratory Improvement In NYC Fir
New research examined the effectiveness of ICS in preventing asthma and other respiratory illness due to inhalation exposures experienced by NYC firefighters after the World Trade Center collapse. Two years post-collapse, those firefighters treated with ICS reported positive feedback. Festive Family Thanksgiving Cookbook

Tracing Marijuana To Its Roots: Scientists Seek Marijuana's Isotopic F
Scientists at the Alaska Stable Isotope Facility can tell whether marijuana confiscated in a traffic stop in Fairbanks likely came from Mexico or the Matanuska Valley. They're also working on a way to determine whether it was grown indoors or out. A few more years and enough samples and they hope to have something even more precise: an elemental fingerprint that could tell police where and under what conditions a sample of marijuana was grown. Tycho's Remnant Provides Shocking Evidence For Cosmic Rays
Astronomers have found compelling evidence that a supernova shock wave has produced a large amount of cosmic rays, particles of mysterious origin that constantly bombard the Earth. This discovery, made with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, supports theoretical arguments that shock waves from stellar explosions may be a primary source of cosmic rays. Pedophiles Have Deficits In Brain Activation, Study Suggests
Functional brain imaging can describe neural circuits contributing to pedophilia. Deficits of activation in the frontal cortex were associated with the extent of pedophilic behavior. In other words, when shown erotic pictures of adults, the brains of the pedophilic patients had reduced reactions in the pleasure center of the brain, indicating an altered sexual interest.
