Freedom Vaults : Guidelines for Saying No to Police Searches One of the main powers that law enforcement officers carry is the power to intimidate citizens into voluntarily giving up their rights. Police are trained to believe in their authority and trained to perform their interactions with private citizens with confidence. It is their job to deal with problems and they learn to manage uncomfortable situations through strength. Most people, when confronted by police get a mild panic reaction, become anxious, and try to do whatever they can to minimize the time spent with the officer. Because of the imbalance of power between citizen and officer, when a law enforcement officer makes a strongly worded request, most people consent without realizing that they are giving up constitutional protections against improper meddling by the State in the private affairs of citizens. A common situation is that of the traffic stop. Unfortunately police will often try to push citizens to accept a search, to the point of ignoring when you say "no". The Terry v.
Nanotube Power Technology Breakthrough at MIT May 12, 2010 12:00 PM Engineers at MIT have devised what they call a new way of producing electricity. By coating a microscopic carbon nanotube with a layer of fuel and igniting one end with a spark or laser, they're able to send a wave of heat shooting through the nanotube's interior. This thermal wave pushes electrons in its path, generating a significant electric current. How It Works: 1. 2. 3. Possible Uses For Nanotube Power: Environmental Sensors Nanotubes could power environmental sensors that, scattered like dust in the air, closely monitor wide areas. Space Instruments The devices store power indefinitely, so they could be ideal for sensors in craft on deep space missions. Communication Devices A special coating could produce an alternating current that can transmit radio signals and cellphone calls.

Living, breathing human lung-on-a-chip Photo courtesy of the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering/Harvard University The lung on a chip, shown here, was crafted by combining microfabrication techniques from the computer industry with modern tissue engineering techniques, human cells and a plain old vacuum pump. Researchers at Harvard’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering have created a device that mimics a living, breathing human lung on a microchip. Because the lung device is translucent, it provides a window into the inner-workings of the human lung without having to invade a living body. “The ability of the lung-on-a-chip device to predict absorption of airborne nanoparticles and mimic the inflammatory response triggered by microbial pathogens, provides proof-of-principle for the concept that organs-on-chips could replace many animal studies in the future,” says Donald Ingber, senior author on the study and founding director of Harvard’s Wyss Institute.

Maintaining Memories with Marijuana Can smoking marijuana prevent the memory loss associated with normal aging or Alzheimer's disease ? This is a question that I have been investigating for the past few years. The concept of medical marijuana is not a new one. A Chinese pharmacy book, written about 2737 BCE, was probably the first to mention its use as a medicine for the treatment of gout, rheumatism, malaria, constipation, and (ironically) absent-mindedness. So what does marijuana do in the brain ? It produces some excitatory behavioral changes , including euphoria, but it is not generally regarded as a stimulant. Finally, marijuana produces hallucinations at high doses, but its structure does not resemble LSD or any other hallucinogen. The first endogenous marijuana compound found in the brain was called anandamide, from the Sanskrit word ananda meaning "bliss." Surprisingly, it may also protect against some aspects of age-associated memory loss.
