Cornell University and Ithaca, NY Sciencenter host a NASA-supported workshop for science teachers in middle and high schools from across the Northeast that will take advantage of Cornell's involvement in the space agency's Near-Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) mission to explore a distant asteroid.
The start of the National Overactive BLadder Evaluation (NOBLE) Study was announced at the 1999 International Bladder Symposium.
While research centers and clinics are often considered the major sources of medical breakthroughs, many advances in gynecologic endoscopic procedures are being driven by gynecologists in private practice.
Rhodes College has established a website for businesses and corporations.
While some schools are banning Pokemon cards because they distract kids from classroom work, Temple psychologist Frank Farley says educators can learn much about motivating their students from the popularity of the game, which involves 150 creatures on cards with differing abilities and powers.

A pair of hydrogen bonds in the protein titin appears to be a key component allowing muscle to stretch and return to normal by regulating the ability of the protein to unfold one section at a time when stressed, researchers say.
A protein involved in timing the development of larval worms bears similarities to fruit fly and mammalian proteins involved in timing of circadian rhythms. This is the first molecular connection found between such diverse timing mechanisms.
As the Y2K problems fade into the new year, computer analysts will face even more complex issues surrounding information security, Purdue University computer security expert Gene Spafford says.
