Fetus malnutrition may alter neurotransmitters scientists warn
Johns Hopkins researchers Norman D. LaFrance and Tomas Guilarte find prenatal vitamin B-6 deficiency shifts fetal brain chemical signaling. Abnormal neurotransmitters at birth linked to long term brain function and behavior, with possible ties to Parkinsons disease mood disorders and autism.

Ultra fast transistors could reshape computer design at Cornell
Cornell engineer Lester F. Eastman told industry leaders that transistors switching in one and a half trillionths of a second will outpace other computer components, pushing restructuring. He predicts rooftop satellite antennas could receive ten times today’s channels. Wildlife officials cite widespread diazinon-related fatalities, urging research and stronger labeling, while urban lights boost mosquito breeding and disease risk. Chesapeake Bay bald eagle nesting yielded 130 chicks from 124 pairs, the highest since 1977 in a National Wildlife Federation study funded by USFWS and state agencies.

Cows bred by appointment to transform dairy herds by century's end
Cornell professor William Hansel foresees a revolution in livestock with hormonal control and embryo transfer enabling entire herds to be bred on schedule. Techniques include estrous cycle regulation, superovulation, embryo freezing, and genetic engineering to produce healthier, more fertile cattle for dairy, beef, swine, and poultry.
