...Lowry wrote, "Conservatives bristle at the sense of being told what to do, and they detect a tone of moral superiority in her advocacy of children's programs and health care." That's ironic since conservatives present themselves as the ones who hold the moral high ground, preaching family values and taking every opportunity to tell the masses how to live their lives. Perhaps Lowry should have said that when conservatives see Clinton, they see themselves - and don't like it very much. Rob Hernandez, LIBERTYVILLE...

...size of a small car - light enough and sturdy enough to be sent into space. Pillinger always planned to look for terrestrial applications of the mini GCMS once their space research was done, and at Wellcome's request, Morgan began in 2005 to design a version that could detect TB. The device they have come up with requires little maintenance and should be much cheaper than full-sized GCMS models, which can cost millions of dollars...

Sensors--devices that detect environmental changes--have been around forever in analog form. Traditional thermometers, for instance, use mercury that rises and falls as it responds to temperature changes. More recently, in the information-technology age, network-linked digital sensors are starting to take note of everything from soil conditions to water pollutants to electricity usage. Measurement equals management. The idea is to get optimal use of such resources as fertilizers and energy. But one restriction on modern sensors is that they are built with rigid materials like hard plastic and metal, which give them shape and volume, restricting where...

...potential uses of DeepStream's technology are endless. The company envisions sensors that detect wasted motor motion, power surges, electrical loss, overheating and unnecessary lighting--leading to vast improvements in efficiency, perhaps saving half a billion tons of carbon emissions in Britain alone each year. "Energy sensors are going to be a massive part of our future," says Crosier. Perhaps Eaton would like to buy some...
