Gilmer Civil Wars Maps Collection
"The Gilmer maps are an extensive group of Civil War maps, including both manuscript maps and printed maps with manuscript annotations and engineers' drawings of military construction,"housed in the Manuscripts Department of the Wilson Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The site "includes 161 maps representative of the entire southern region, with particularly large groupings of North Carolinaand Virginia maps. Most of the maps are dated 1861-1865."

Searchable. Inhalation Of Golf Course Pesticides In Northeast Poses 'Minimal' Heal
When golfers in the northeastern United States dream of returning to those greens and fairways next spring, they can have some reassurance that inhaling pesticides applied to the turf does not pose a serious human health threat, a new study suggests. Cornell University's Douglas A. Haith and Rebecca R. Murphy report results of the first systematic study of inhalation health risk for 15 pesticides typically applied to golf courses in the northeast. Tea May Help Prevent Diabetes And Cataracts
Add another line to the list of benefits from drinking tea: New research in animals suggests that tea may be a simple, inexpensive means of preventing diabetes and its ensuing complications, including cataracts. MayoClinic.com: Toxic Shock Syndrome

From the Mayo Clinic. Heavy Drinking Takes Excessive Toll On Women With Hepatitis C
Women tend to survive longer than men if infected with the liver-destroying hepatitis C virus -- but if they drink heavily,that survival advantage completely disappears, according to a new study. Prostate Cancer Therapy - Study Suggests New Molecular Screening Theor
Levels of the Smad7 protein may predict therapeutic response in patients with prostate cancer according to research published today by investigators at the Uppsala Branch of the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research (LICR). How Nanocrystals Crumple: New Window Into Deformation Of Nanoscale Mat
Some nanoscale crystals can be perfect, and scientists long assumed that a crystal needs to be perfect to sustain stress at its theoretical limit. Beyond this point, dislocations in the crystal lattice occur and the crystal undergoes plastic deformation. In new research at DOE's National Center for Electron Microscopy, Berkeley Lab scientists have discovered that in fact many defects can accumulate in a nanocrystal before the initial yield point of plastic deformation. Molecular Recognition: When Off-target Is Right On
Scientists have developed a model showing that even though it appears counterintuitive, the observation that some molecular keys are not always an exact fit for their molecular locks actually helps them in discerning the right target. [Ironic] An Italian pensioner committed suicide after his wife fell in
