Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory scientists and BioLuminate are developing Smart Probe, a needle sized device that uses light to assess breast lumps. Test readings could match cancerous tissue patterns to reduce unnecessary biopsies, with human trials set to begin this spring and market readiness in three years.

Microsoft concedes bad week after outages and hacks
Microsoft said its Web sites were back to normal after a week of disruptions blamed on human error and denial of service attacks. Spokesman Adam Sohn insisted everything has been fine since lunchtime yesterday as hackers flooded traffic directing equipment and caused outages at MSNBC com Hotmail com and the home page. The 22 hour midweek shutdown was blamed on an employee error with the same network gear, a claim Microsoft says is unrelated to the Thursday and Friday events.
