New Laser Warning And Reporting System For Pilots
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Norman Y. Mineta announced new measures designed to alert and better prepare pilots to handle incidents of lasers being shined at their aircraft and to speed notification about such crimes to law enforcement investigators. The measures are designed to respond to a recent increase in the number of reported laser incidents. MyoD helps stem cells proliferate in response to muscle injury
The master regulator of muscle differentiation, MyoD, functions early in myogenesis to help stem cells proliferate in response to muscle injury, according to researchers. Optimism boosts the immune system
Feeling better about the future might help you feel better for real. In a new study, psychological scientists studied how law students' expectations about the future affected their immune response. Their conclusions: optimism may be good for your health. Microbial Forensics: The Next Great Forensic Challenge
Deliberately spreading disease among the enemy has been occasionally practiced over hundreds of years. But modern bioterrorism is more chilling than ever because of rapidly expanding knowledge about infectious diseases and biotoxins and their potential to wreak havoc in complex, interdependent societies. What Do Women Want? Less Pink, More Tech, "Lady Geek" Survey Says
According to a recent U.K. study, women own only slightly fewer tech gadgets than men -- and they're not interested in pink gadgets and Hello Kitty keyboards, either. Abandoned &Little-Known Airfields

Postmenopausal women who want to significantly decrease their breast-cancer risk would be wise to exercise regularly and keep their weight within a normal range for their height, according to new findings from the Women's Health Initiative to be published in the journal Obesity. Could Adenine From Interstellar Dust Have Triggered Life On Earth? Els
Some of the elements necessary to support life on Earth are widely known - oxygen, carbon and water, to name a few. Just as important in the existence of life as any other component is the presence of adenine, an essential organic molecule. Without it, the basic building blocks of life would not come together. Scientists have been trying to find the origin of Earth's adenine and where else it might exist in the solar system. The answer might be interstellar dust clouds. The same clouds that might have showered young Earth with adenine, could have showered any number of other planets as well. New Gene Regulation Mechanism Discovered
Researchers have discovered a new kind of messenger RNA molecule that is rapidly cleaved in response to cellular stress such as viral infection. The discovery reveals a "cut and run"mechanism that is likely to control the expression of many genes in humans and a variety of other organisms. A deeper understanding of this mechanism is predicted to have broad implications for biology and biomedical research. 'Super'Stainless Steel Developed
A new type of stainless steel alloy could allow for significantly increased operating temperatures and corresponding increases in efficiency in future energy production systems.
