Google has done a deal with NASA allowing it to lease Moffett Federal Airfield, a vast chunk of land that includes three hangars, two runways, and a golf course.
While NASA will rake in more than a billion dollars in rent and make big savings on maintenance costs over the 60-year lease term, Googlewill have an enormous space close to its Mountain View headquarters where it intends towork on projects linked to space exploration, aviation, and robotics. A few rounds of golf will no doubt be enjoyed, too.

NASA and the US General Services Administration, which will retain ownership of the land, selected Planetary Ventures to operate the site back in February, though the deal has only just been inked.
Google company executives, including founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, have for a number of yearsbeen using the conveniently located airfield as a base for the tech firms fleet of private jets. But with news of the deal with NASA, theyre likely to be making a lot more trips to the base from hereon in.

NASA eyes revolutionary aircraft wing technology
Published November 10, 2014
Scientists at NASA are testing a new aircraft wing surface capable of changing shape during flight, which aims to make airliners quieter and significantly boost fuel efficiency.
Researchers have replaced an airplanes traditional aluminum flaps with shape-changing assemblies that can form bendable and twistable surfaces, according to NASA. Flight testing will determine whether flexible trailing-edge wing flaps are a viable approach to improve aerodynamic efficiency and reduce noise generated during takeoffs and landings, it said, in a statement.
Part of a research project called Adaptive Compliant Trailing Edge (ACTE), which involves NASA and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, the technology uses aircraft flaps designed by Ann Arbor, Mich.-based FlexSys.
Thanks to funding provided by the Air Forces Small Business Innovative Research program, FlexSys has developed a variable geometry airfoil, dubbed FlexFoil, which can be fitted onto existing and new aircraft frames.
The technology is being tested on a modified Gulfstream III aircraft at NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.
NASA said that during the initial flight, the wings experimental control surfaces were locked at a specified setting. Different flap settings will be used on subsequent flights to collect data on how the wing technology performs.
The first flight went as planned -- we validated many key elements of the experimental trailing edges, said Thomas Rigney, ACTE Project Manager at NASAs Armstrong Flight Research Center. We expect this technology to make future aircraft lighter, more efficient, and quieter. It also has the potential to save hundreds of millions of dollars annually in fuel costs.
NASA is not the only organization looking to apply new technology to air travel. A U.K. company, for example, has unveiled a concept for commercial planes where windows will be replaced by full-length smart screens showing the view outside the aircraft.

NASA signs 60-year lease with Google
In a bid to reduce costs and shed surplus property, the US space agency National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has signed a 60-year lease with Planetary Ventures LLC - a shell organisation operated by Google for real estate deals - to manage Moffett Federal Airfield (MFA) in California and restore its historic Hangar One.
Google will initially invest more than $200 million into the site, NASA said in a statement.
It is estimated that the lease will save the US space agency approximately $6.3 million annually in maintenance and operation costs and provide $1.16 billion in rent.
MFA, currently maintained by NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California, includes approximately 1,000 acres of land located on South San Francisco Bay.
The land includes Hangars One, Two and Three, an airfield flight operations building, two runways and a private golf course.
"As NASA expands its presence in space, we are making strides to reduce our footprint here on Earth," said NASA Administrator Charles Bolden.
"We want to invest taxpayer resources in scientific discovery, technology development and space exploration - not in maintaining infrastructure we no longer need. Moffett Field plays an important role in the Bay Area and is poised to continue to do so through this lease arrangement," Bolden continued.
After a fair and open competition, the US General Services Administration (GSA) and NASA selected Planetary Ventures, LLC as the preferred lessee in February 2014 and began lease negotiations.
"Hangar One is an important landmark in Silicon Valley. GSA was proud to support NASA in delivering the best value to taxpayers while restoring this historic facility and enhancing the surrounding community," added GSA administrator Dan Tangherlini.
"We look forward to rolling up our sleeves to restore the remarkable landmark Hangar One, which for years has been considered one of the most endangered historic sites in the United States," noted David Radcliffe, vice president of real estate and workplace services at Google.

Can Nanotechnology Bring The 'Cool Factor' To Hearing Aids?
November 11, 2014
Image Credit: Nanoplug
Eric Hopton for redOrbit.com Your Universe Online
Nanoplug is a brand new, high-tech hearing aid which its makers believe could be about to turn the industry on its head. This tiny device is somewhere between the size of a coffee bean and a grain of rice, making it half the size of even the smallest hearing aids currently on the market. Fitting totally within the ear, the Nanoplug becomes totally invisible when worn. The technology which makes it possible is based on an equally tiny nanobattery that can be recharged instantly.
Nanoplugs developers told redOrbit in an interview that, although there are 642 million people worldwide who complain of hearing loss, only 23 percent of them use hearing aids. The main reasons include a perceived social stigma attached to wearing hearing aids as well as the high cost of current devices. Nanoplug aims to tackle both those obstacles.
As Nevena Zivic Idea Maker and Project Manager at Nanoplug told us on Monday, Social stigma still hinders most people from taking advantage of ordinary hearing devices. People having trouble with their hearing are sensitive about using aids. We know that making a hearing aid is not rocket science. Prices of $2000 or more for a single aid with three pieces inside are really unacceptable in the 21st century.
As a lifelong hearing aid wearer herself, Zivic was always disappointed by how other people looked at hearing aids and found it frustrating that such a harmless device never became cool as glasses. She decided to try and change those perceptions and the hearing aid industry along with it. So, a year ago, she gave up her career as a geography professor and made Nanoplug her mission in life. She recruited a team of experts to help make it happen. If Nanoplug succeeds, said Zivic, we will say goodbye to expensive, bulky, embarrassing hearing aids. The Nanoplug is my work.
The company describes Nanoplug as the worlds first 100% invisible, affordable, instant fit and user programmable hearing aid that can help a younger, hipper audience with hearing loss to solve their problem with embarrassment and social stigma using the latest nanotechnologies.
Will it work? Can Nanoplug really give hearing aids the cool factor? Certainly, the aids sleek look and the technology itself are ultra-modern. Zivics goal is to move hearing aids away from being seen merely as medical devices towards an image of being a lifestyle product or accessory. The developers want this device to be fun and desirable, while removing the financial pain normally involved in acquiring hearing aids.
Nanoplug is comprised of micro-components and a battery with a cell that is only nanometers in dimension. This nanobattery can be configured and connected to scale the output of power by accessing groups of cells into different sized banks, allowing for a variable output. It has an extremely high surface to volume ratio, providing a virtually instantaneous recharge. The batteries contain no toxic chemicals or heavy metals and are designed to be safe and eco-friendly. Battery life is estimated to be 138.888 hours of runtime to give an estimated 6 days between charges.

Novel molecular imaging drug offers better detection of prostate cancer
PUBLIC RELEASE DATE:
11-Nov-2014
Contact: Kimberly Brown kbrown@snmmi.org 703-652-6773 Society of Nuclear Medicine @SNM_MI
Reston, Va. (November 11, 2014) - A novel study demonstrates the potential of a novel molecular imaging drug to detect and visualize early prostate cancer in soft tissue, lymph nodes and bone. The research, published in the November issue of the Journal of Nuclear Medicine, compares the biodistribution and tumor uptake kinetics of two Tc-99m labeled ligands, MIP-1404 and MIP-1405, used with SPECT and planar imaging.
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States, and it is second only to lung cancer as the leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. An estimated 233,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in the United States in 2014, and an estimated 29,000 will die of the disease. More than 2 million men are currently living with prostate cancer in the United States.
Under an exploratory investigational new drug, using a cross-over design, researchers compared the pharmacokinetics, biodistribution, and tumor uptake of Tc-99m MIP-1404 and Tc-99m MIP-1405 in 6 healthy men and 6 men with radiographic evidence of metastatic prostate cancer. Whole body images were obtained at 10 minutes and at 1, 2, 4 and 24 hours. SPECT was performed between 3 and 4 hours after injection. Prior to the study, no single target-specific Tc-99m radiopharmaceutical could image prostate cancer in soft tissue, lymph nodes and bone (bone metastasis) based on planar and SPECT. There was no uptake in degenerative bone disease, which often confounds bone scans.
"This research represents an innovative prostate cancer planar and SPECT imaging technology--addressing unmet clinical need for sensitive and selective imaging of loco-regional and distant metastatic prostate cancer," stated Shankar Vallabhajosula, PhD, lead author of the study "99mTc-Labeled Small Molecule Inhibitors of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen: Pharmacokinetics and Biodistribution Studies in Healthy Subjects and Patients with Metastatic Prostate Cancer." "With respect to imaging, the lack of focal uptake in the normal prostate of healthy volunteers with both compounds further demonstrated that PSMA is a viable targeting mechanism for detection and visualization of prostate cancer and suggests that this imaging approach is highly sensitive and disease specific."
There was good correlation with bone scans in most subjects, although in general, more lesions were visualized with MIP-1404 and MIP-1405 than with bone scans, suggesting this agent may be more sensitive to detecting skeletal or marrow invasion earlier than bone scans. "We also demonstrated that Tc-99m MIP-1404 has favourable pharmacokinetics and biodistribution, which represents a breakthrough in imaging of prostate cancer for the following reasons: Tc-99m MIP-1404 can image prostate cancer in lymph nodes, soft tissue and bone," noted Vallabhajosula.
A multi-center phase II study with Tc-99m MIP-1404 in 100 patients was recently completed, and the data were presented at 2014 SNMMI Annual Meeting in St. Louis, Mo. Progenics Pharmaceuticals has plans to conduct a phase III trial soon.

Virginia teens plead guilty to creating cache of nude photos of students
Compromising photos of 56 McLean High School girls were carefully organized into folders under each of their names on an online file-sharing account maintained by two of their fellow students, the Fairfax County prosecutors office said Monday.
The teenagers, ages 16 and 17, also created elaborate rules for the Dropbox page, which was passed around among teens at the school so they could upload images via a link, the prosecutor said. But in May, a sophomore at the school received the link, and she alerted school officials about the account. Soon, Fairfax police officers were investigating.
The two male teenagers pleaded guilty in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court in Fairfax County on Monday to three misdemeanor charges each for distributing obscene material, as part of a deal with prosecutors. The Washington Post generally does not name juvenile offenders.
Chief Judge Jannine Saxe sentenced them to two days each in the youth jail and required them to do community service and refrain from using social media and the Internet.
The size and organization of the Dropbox account, surprised parents and the judge.
Such an elaborate operation is mind-boggling, Saxe said. The kind of impact these past behaviors have had on these young women is certainly concerning.
Dropbox is a cloud-based storage service that allows people to store content in folders on multiple computers or devices that will update simultaneously when connected to the Internet. Files and folders are visible only to those with whom a link has been shared.
Soon after school officials were alerted, Fairfax County Police Detective Nickolas Boffi began investigating the case. Stott said one of the teens charged admitted in interviews with police that he maintained the account and created the rules for it, but he said his friend had originally created it. The friend eventually admitted to police that he had created it.
My client is a good student, said lawyer Thomas Abbenante, who represented the teen who wrote the rules for the account. This is the first time he has been in trouble.
Nina J. Ginsberg, the attorney for the other teen, said her client did create the account but realized that it was not appropriate and soon stopped participating in it.
