Happy New Year, visitor!

Here are the past couple of weeks of Science and BizDay spots from the NYTimes…

Rats will free a trapped cage mate even if there is no reward involved:

A giant gas cloud is being sucked into the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy:

Drought and poor water management contributed to the collapse of the Khmer empire:

And for Business Day – two columns about a train ride up the east coast and a follow up to the column about all the guns that show up at airport checkpoints:

And finally for the New York Observer for an article about a Chinatown smoke shop where machines roll your cigarettes for you. This little trick means they can skirt NYC cigarette “pack” tax and charge only three bucks for 20 smokes. Needless to say, they are taking over the city and the mayor is fuming.

Thanks to Peter, Joe and Scott.
