Sandia Labs engineers create 'self-guided' bullet (AP)

In this undated photo provided by Sandia National Laboratories, a time exposure, a light-emitting diode, or LED, attached to a self-guided bullet at Sandia National Laboratories shows a bright path during a nighttime field test. The  New Mexico-based  Sandia National Laboratories  announced Tuesday Jan. 31, 2012 that its  engineers have invented a bullet that directs itself to a target like a tiny guided missile and can hit a target more than a mile away.  According to Sandia Labs engineers, the bullet twists and turns to guide itself toward a laser-directed point. Officials say it can make up to thirty corrections per second while in the air.  (AP Photo/Sandia National Laboratories)AP - Figuring out how to pack a processor and other electronics into a machine gun bullet has been a challenge for engineers at Sandia National Laboratories, so weapons experts say the miniature guidance system the lab has developed is a breakthrough.

California woman's small claims victory resonates (AP)

FILE - In this Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012 file photo, Heather Peters, who says her 2006 Honda Civic Hybrid never achieved the gas mileage Honda claimed in its advertising, and also did a computer upgrade that further diminished the mileage, please her case in Small Claims Court in Torrrance, Calif., Tuesday, Jan. 3, 2012. Peters had opted out of a class action settlement agreed to by Honda because it does not provide enough remuneration. On Feb. 1, 2012, it was announced that Peters had won her unusual lawsuit against the auto giant over the vehicle's failure to deliver the promised mileage. A Los Angeles Superior Court commissioner has awarded Peters $9,867, just under the Small Claims Court limit of $10,000. (AP Photo/Reed Saxon, File)AP - Heather Peter's computer crashed under the onslaught of messages following her unique victory over Honda in small claims court — a win the California woman is hoping will lead other consumers to reject a class action settlement over defective hybrid cars.

New map pinpoints Lyme disease risk areas (AP)

This map released by the Yale School of Public Health on Friday, Feb. 3, 2012 shows a map which indicates areas of the eastern United States where people have the highest risk of contracting Lyme disease based on data from 2004-2007. Researchers dragged sheets of fabric through the woods to snag ticks for the survey. The map shows a clear risk across much of the Northeast, from Maine to northern Virginia. Researchers at Yale University also identified a high-risk region across most of Wisconsin, northern Minnesota and a sliver of northern Illinois. Areas highlighted as 'emerging risk' regions include the Illinois-Indiana border, the New York-Vermont border, southwestern Michigan and eastern North Dakota. (AP Graphic/Yale School of Public Health, Maria Diuk-Wasser)AP - Researchers who spent three years dragging sheets of fabric through the woods to snag ticks have created a detailed map they claim could improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease.
