License Plate Tracking for All Law enforcement technology that rapidly reads and logs license plates on the road is about to filter down to commercial and consumer applications -- so we can all track each other in real time. Luke O'Brien reports from Washington. Copper Blues Lots of people take multivitamins, mineral supplements, and a vast range of antioxidants? But, do they improve your health and wellbeing above and beyond what you could achieve with a well-balanced diet, plenty of fresh air and exercise? In some instances, the jury is still out, although recent evidence suggests that deliberately taking super doses [...] Heavy Smokers Who Cut Back Still Take In More Toxins Than Light Smoker University of Minnesota tobacco researchers have found that heavy smokers who reduce their number of daily cigarettes still take in two to three times more total toxins per cigarette than light smokers. Brain Zapper Eases Parkinson's To slow the progress of the dread disease, doctors plant electrodes deep in my brain. Then they turn on the juice. By Steven Gulie from Wired magazine. Why Do Autumn Leaves Turn Red? Soil May Dictate Fall Colors Soils may dictate the array of fall colors as much as the trees rooted in them, according to a forest survey out of North Carolina. By taking careful stock and laboratory analyses of the autumn foliage of sweetgum and red maple trees along transects from floodplains to ridge-tops in a nature preserve in Charlotte, N.C., scientists found that in places where the soil was relatively low in nitrogen and other essential elements, trees produced more red pigments known as anthocyanins. Genetic Differences Point To Ethnic And Racial Disparities In Colorect Risk of developing colorectal cancer is known to differ across ethnic and racial groups, and now an analysis of 26 studies, involving over 25,000 participants shows that some of these disparities might be explained by distinct patterns of genetic inheritance. Are Some Men Predisposed To Pedophilia? Height may point to a biological basis for pedophilia. A new study found that pedophilic males were shorter on average than males without a sexual attraction to children, suggesting that pedophiles may have been exposed to pre-birth conditions that affected their physical development. Art Cars in Cyberspace Information about cars and other motor vehicles that have been embellished to become artistic displays. The site provides photos, information about art car events, and tips and techniques for creating a permanent or temporary art car. Includes links to related sites. Erosion Of Privacy: Safeguards In A World Of Ambient Intelligence Whether in the form of sensors in the refrigerator which automatically order more milk or in the car sounding an alarm when the driver starts to become drowsy, "Ambient Intelligence"is the next computer technology revolution. But networked objects equipped with intelligence will only be able to establish themselves if they take proper consideration of users' misgivings, in particular with regard to data protection. Flip-flopping Gene Expression Can Be Advantageous One gene for pea pod color generates green pods while a variant of that gene gives rise to the yellow-pod phenotype, a feature that helped Gregor Mendel first describe genetic inheritance. However, some genes have the strange ability to be expressed spontaneously in either of two possible ways and researchers describe how such noisy gene expression affects as the progression of bacterial infections or the growth of a population of cancerous cells.
