Rare Meteorite Found Using New Camera Network In Australian Desert
Researchers have discovered an unusual kind of meteorite in the Western Australian desert and have uncovered where in the Solar System it came from, in a very rare finding. Laser, Machining, Used To Create Precision Parts Layer By Layer
Researchers are perfecting a technique for manufacturing parts that have complex shapes and precision internal features by depositing layers of powdered materials, melting the powder with a laser and then immediately machining each layer. The new method can be used for creating parts made of advanced materials such as ceramics, which are difficult to manufacture and cannot be machined without first using a laser to soften the material. Giant Martian Dust Storm Threatens Two Rovers
The mighty Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity continue to persevere in brutal conditions, as revealed in images of the sun they are sending home. The images show how opaque the Martian atmosphere has been in the face of a raging, two-month dust storm. To understand the gravity of the storm, engineers and astronomers monitor the situation by examining the images of the sun and measuring the amount of dust or the opacity of the atmosphere. What The Eye Doesn't See: Birds Can Be Deceived By Camouflage In The S
The first experimental evidence that birds can be deceived by camouflage in the same way that humans are deceived, is published in Nature [3 March 2005]. Grist Magazine: Storm Front and Center
Collection of stories on environmental aspects of Hurricane Katrina. Topics include journalists' coverage of connections between climate change and the hurricane, opinions about global warming and hurricanes, planning for disasters, environmental justice concerns, the area along the Mississippi River in Louisiana (known as "Cancer Alley") that is "home to more than 140 oil refineries and chemical plants,"and more. Holiday Lighting News and Resources

Includes information about LED (light emitting diode) holiday lights, energy-related gift ideas, and other topics related to holiday energy use; also has some information about fiber optic lighting. From the Energy Ideas Clearinghouse, Washington State University Extension Energy Program. [Stupid] Santa Claus Can't Get a Flu Shot
Apparently there is no special exception for Santa - at least not for flu vaccines. Nick Pallotto, 62, who plays Santa Claus in malls, turned up at a flu clinic in Colorado Springs and was denied a shot because he wasn't 65 or suffering from a chronic health problem. Video: What's to Like About Apple's New iPad
Steve Jobs has finally unveiled Apple's long-awaited tablet, the iPad. While it falls short of being the revolutionary media device it was hyped up to be, it's a beautiful piece of hardware and has a few great things going for it.
 Number Of Lymph Nodes Is Best Predictor Of Outcome After Neoadjuvant T
The number of lymph nodes that contain evidence of cancer is the best predictor of the effectiveness of adding chemotherapy and radiation to a treatment plan prior to surgery in individuals with esophageal cancer, according to a study published last month in the Annals of Surgery. The authors say their finding is particularly important because the focus of recent pathological studies of response to neoadjuvant therapies has been on the primary tumor rather than nodal sites. With first neutrino events, physicists closer to answering why only ma
Physicists have just announced that they have detected the first neutrino events generated by the newly built neutrino beam at the J-PARC accelerator laboratory in Tokai, Japan. Neutrino oscillations, which require neutrinos to have mass and therefore were not allowed in previous theoretical understanding of particle physics, probe new physical laws and are of great interest in the study of the fundamental constituents of matter.
