...says, "You should do a book called Warmth. You could do all the background research in Aruba." It's a fair point. Did that ever cross your mind? It crossed my mind a little bit, but it would have been darned inconvenient, since I live here in Alaska. Although I am working on a book now with the working title Heat: A Natural and Unnatural History. It takes the other direction on the thermometer and starts out looking at extreme heat with hydrogen-weapons testing that occurred here in Alaska, and works through things like the development of warm-bloodedness...
...Although some previous research had hinted at similar benefits of weight training, the overall lack of rigorous evidence to support it led doctors to take a conservative approach in recommending excess activity. "Because we didn't have strong data one way or another, there was this dictum that translated to, Don't lift anything, or only minimally use your arm," explains Dr. Brian Lawenda, a breast-cancer-radiation specialist at Naval Medical Center San Diego, who was not involved in the new study...

Specter is 79 and has suffered two bouts of Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer of the blood...
...Although Haney is intrigued by the idea of raising animals in conditions that replicate the wild, he's not sure he can make the economics work. Natural nesting means that the birds lay only one set of eggs per year, and for a diversified farm where each animal has to earn its keep, that's nowhere near enough eggs. Also, he prefers to be scientific in his experimentation, altering only one variable at a time. "Farms change in years," he says. "Not months." For now, Stone Barns' geese will be hatched in incubators...
