...animal studies, Joseph and his associates developed a series of motor-skills tests that they called the Rat Olympics. Rats had to walk balance beams and stay upright during a log-rolling task. Those raised on special blueberry rat chow did significantly better than those that were not, leading Joseph to conclude that "blueberries were actually able to reverse motor deficits in these aging animals." More remarkably, when mice that had been genetically altered to express Alzheimer's were put on the blueberry diet, they did not experience memory loss. Joseph's research has shown some similar benefits from walnuts...

In 2001, Hayashi decided to spice up the school's drab curricula with a little real-world engineering project: a competitive endurance racer, designed and built by his students. "Studying a race car is a great way to learn a variety of advanced technologies," says Hayashi. "And, of course, it's appealing to young students...
...city. Thick smoke from out-of-control grass fires raging in the large islands of the Parana River Delta some 30 minutes north of the city rolled over urban areas, resulting in the closing of airports, ports and bus terminals. Meanwhile, the authorities were forced to block highway motor traffic following a number of fatal acciddents on smoke-choked national roads.
