U.S. stocks down after confidence poll; FOMC minutes ahead
NEW YORK - U.S. stocks were lower Tuesday morning, as traders pored over

about excessive economic slowing back in the foreground.

WASHINGTON -- U.S. consumer confidence fell sharply in August, the
Conference Board said Tuesday.

Atlantis
------------------
With Tropical Storm Ernesto breathing down their necks, NASA managers
gave up on a Tuesday space shuttle launch and prepared to move Atlantis indoors
if the storm continues to threaten. The National Hurricane Center's Monday
morning forecast put Ernesto's track almost directly over Kennedy Space Center
late Wednesday or early Thursday, and listed a nearly 50% chance of tropical
storm force winds just south of the cape.

Precision technology helps combat troops pinpoint enemy
---------------------------------------------
U.S. troops and pilots in Iraq and Afghanistan share live video feeds
from the battlefield to call in precise airstrikes, technology that
barely existed a few years ago but now directs nine of 10 bombs and
missiles dropped. The technology also can limit injuries to civilians
and damage to sensitive sites such as mosques.

Offshore gaming sites not sure USA's worth the risk
---------------------------------------------
Americans continue to gamble in record numbers online, but executives of
the offshore operations that take those bets are exercising caution.
The trepidation of online-betting executives underscores growing concern
that the U.S. government could target more offshore firms after essentially
giving the industry a free pass for several years.

The brains behind creativity
---------------------------------------------
How does the human brain create an evocative haiku, a beautiful
painting, a sculpture or even a delicious new dinner? Neuroscientist Nancy
Andreasen tackles that question in her book to be released this fall in paperback:
The Creating Brain: The Neuroscience of Genius.

The universe has room for change
---------------------------------------------
Pluto's push from the planetary pantheon last week shows that change is
the only constant in science, just as in the rest of life. Anyone pondering
Pluto, or the latest health news for that matter, knows that science tends to
zig and zag. Here are some examples of changes in scientific thought.
