This week, Nov. 22-28, Cornell University Police joins police agencies across New York state in a "zero tolerance" wave of enforcement of state seat-belt laws. There will be checkpoints and saturation patrols aimed at ticketing drivers and front-seat passengers without seat belts and drivers who fail to properly restrain their child passengers. This Thanksgiving, the seat-belt enforcement push will continue to place a special emphasis on teens and young adults. These drivers, national statistics show, are the least likely to buckle up. Cornell Police continues to participate in these enforcement efforts because research shows that repeating waves of high-visibility enforcement saves lives. (November 23, 2004)

Scientists have discovered compounds nearly ubiquitous in fire that have amazingly eluded detection in spite of 150 years of research on how flames burn. According to a paper in the journal Science on its Science Express Web site (May 12), co-authored by a Cornell professor, enols, technically in the family of alcohols, are part of the chemical pathway that occurs when a wide variety of fires burn.
