Adults With Lazy Eye Can Improve: New Treatment Offers Promise For Pre
An abstract exercise delivers concrete results for young subjects with an "untreatable"lazy eye. Can Hemp Help The Everglades?
Within Southern Florida, soil and water conditions indicate potential for leaching from the use of atrazine-based herbicides in corn crops. Scientists conducted studies to evaluate the specific groundwater risk from atrazine use by focusing on sunn hemp which seems to have the potential to greatly reduce that risk. Transplanted Stem Cells Show Promise For Mending Broken Hearts
Working with heart attack-stricken mice, a team of University of Wisconsin-Madison scientists has shown that embryonic stem cells may one day live up to their clinical promise. Male Infertility Often Caused By Varicose Veins In The Scrotum, Simple
Two reports shed new light on male infertility. A common cause of male infertility, varicoceles, or varicose veins in the scrotum, also results in a depletion of testosterone. Thirty-five percent of all cases of primary infertility (first pregnancy attempt) and 80-percent of secondary infertility (attempts at pregnancy following a successful impregnation) are due to varicoceles. In a related finding, once a common, simple surgery is used to treat varicoceles and thereby restore fertility, testosterone levels are also improved. Pigment Formulated 225 Years Ago Could Be Key In Emerging Technologies
A mixture of zinc oxide and cobalt, first formulated in 1780 as a pigment called cobalt green, appears capable of allowing electrons to be manipulated magnetically at room temperature without losing its magnetism. Brooklyn Botanic Garden: BBG's Online Library of Gardening Information

Solar-Studying Spacecraft Successfully Launched
NASA's STEREO (Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory) spacecraft -- en route as the first mission to capture the sun in 3-D -- successfully launched Oct. 25 aboard a single Delta II vehicle from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Fla. During its two-year mission, the twin observatories will explore the origin, evolution and interplanetary consequences of coronal mass ejections. These powerful solar eruptions are a major source of the magnetic disruptions on Earth and a key component of space weather, which can greatly affect satellite operations, communications, power systems, and the lives of astronauts in space.
