Walk Away Menopausal Anxiety, Stress And Depression
With more menopausal women seeking natural therapies to ease symptoms, a new study has found that simply adding a brisk walking routine can reduce a variety of psychological symptoms such as anxiety, stress and depression. Atom Camera? Helium Atoms Sent By Nozzle May Light Way For New Imaging
A newly devised nozzle fitted with a pinhole-sized capillary has allowed researchers to distribute helium atoms with X-ray-like waves on randomly shaped surfaces. The technique could power the development of a new microscope for nanotechnology, allowing for a non-invasive, high-resolution approach to studying both organic and inorganic materials. First View Of Many Neurons Processing Information In Living Brain
Harvard Medical School researchers have applied a new microscopy technique in a living animal brain that for the first time reveals highly sophisticated time-lapse images of many neurons coordinating to produce complex patterns of activity. The approach will open up new avenues for analyzing neurodegenerative diseases and other aspects of the brain. StopHazing.org: Educating to Eliminate Hazing
The main purpose of this site "is to serve as a resource for accurate, up-to-date hazing information for students, parents, and educators."The site features a definition, state laws, and information covering many aspects of hazing, including fraternity, sorority, athletic, high school, and military hazing. Also includes links to articles, discussion boards, a group of e-mail comments in favor of hazing, an evaluation of why hazing does not work, and more. Green Algae: The Nexus Of Plant-Animal Ancestry
Genes of a tiny, single-celled green alga called Chlamydomonas reinhardtii may contain scores more data about the common ancestry of plants and animals than the richest paleontological dig. Researchers report on the results of a major effort to obtain the full library of genes, or the genome sequence, of Chamydomonas and to compare its roughly 15,000 genes to those of plants and animals, including humans. The research shows that this alga has maintained many genes that were lost during the evolution of land plants, has others that are associated with functions in humans, and has numerous genes of unknown function, but which are associated with critical metabolic processes. United Nations History: 60th Anniversary of the San Francisco Conferen
"In celebration of the United Nations sixtieth anniversary [in 2005], the United Nations Department of Public Information has organized a commemoration of the signing of the United Nations Charter, which took place in San Francisco on 26 June 1945."The site includes the message of the Secretary-General, a video clip, and a list of exhibits and activities commemorating the event.

The Taser Remote Area Denial system -- able to warn, incapacitate and retain intruders with just a little help from a remote operator -- is designed to protect fixed installations. Mechanism Design Theory Founders Win 2007 Nobel Prize In Economics
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has awarded The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2007 jointly to Leonid Hurwicz, of the University of Minnesota, Eric S. Maskin, of the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton, NJ, and Roger B. Myerson, of the University of Chicago, "for having laid the foundations of mechanism design theory." Researcher Identifies New Way Of Combating Viral Diseases
Four seemingly unrelated viral diseases may some day be defeated by a single treatment, according to a recent collaborative study involving researchers at the University of Georgia's College of Veterinary Medicine. Their study focuses on viruses responsible for HIV, measles, Ebola and Marburg and includes investigators from Vanderbilt University Medical Center and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The study is being funded by a grant from the Hudson-Alpha Institute for Biotechnology.
