The district attorney prosecuting two Duke University athletes on rape charges fought off two challengers in the Democratic primary Tuesday and vowed to continue pursuing the headline-grabbing case. The case continues to go forward, said Mike Nifong, who insisted the election had not becom

After 28 years working in the district attorney s office, Nifong won his first political election, CBS News correspondent Trish Regan reports. In unofficial results, Nifong had 11,168 votes, or 45 percent. Challenger Freda Black was close behind with 10,269 votes, or about 42 percent. There are no Republicans running in the general election, and Nifong needed only 40 percent of the vote to avoid a runoff.Black told Regan she won t concede until all the votes have been counted.

If we ;re going to build cities on Mars, we must first figure out how to supply colonists with water and food. If underground Martian ice turns out to be
stanley cup as plentiful as some hope, we may have water covered. And now a group of Greek hackers has invented a
stanley france device for growing food there, too. The device would be a solar-powered greenhouse for growing Greek spinach on the cold, dusty surf
stanley mugs ace of Mars. It would be deployed ahead of future colonists, so that the spinach or other vegetables would be mature by the time people arrived. The device has the advantage of providing a sustainable environment for growing food, while also preventing contamination of Martian habitats with Earth life. Over on Inhabitat, Beth Buczynski writes: The project called Popeye on Mars has been named a winner in the NASA International Space Apps Challenge, a competition that seeks to engage thousands of people around the world in space exploration. Capable of producing fresh spinach in just 45 days, the dome-shaped aeroponic growing system could be used for pre-deployment on a space mission to the Moon or Mars. The winning team met at an Athens hacker space to build the device. They explain their process in this video. Check out more winners in the Space Apps Challenge on the NASA site.
