Auto Fuel Efficiency Online
 Thanks
to a website maintained jointly by EPA and the Department
of Energy, car buyers can compare how new and used cars rate

costs. You can also download the "2001 Fuel Economy Guide,"
which will be available at car dealerships, public libraries,
and credit unions later this fall. Also see Mileage
Estimates for 2001 Model Year Vehicles.

 VA
Tele-Nurse Reaches
Out and Touches Someone
The
nurse at Veterans Affairs in Tampa dials her patient in his
home. The patient pushes a green button on a home monitor to
answer. A speakerphone activates and a video display allows
nurse and patient to see each other. That's when the examination
begins, complete with electronic stethoscope and blood pressure
cuff. |

Wild Salmon Runs
This
is no fish story. Well, OK, it is a fish story, but it's true.
As salmon mature, they return to fresh water to spawn. See
real-time video of endangered sockeye, chinook and coho salmon
migrating in a small King County stream in Washington State
right from your desktop.
