...accelerate babies' cognitive development; it may even boost their academic performance later in life. But eating habits established during this same time may also have long-lasting - and unhealthy - effects. Kim believes early feeding habits may contribute to the growing obesity epidemic among the youngest infants. "We need to answer the next questions that this study asks," she says. "What types of food are babies in child care eating? When are they fed? How are they fed? Are they eating higher calorie foods or just eating more often? We don't know anything about this yet."

After all, when a busted pipe floods your home, you do more than just fix the leak and let evaporation take care of the water...
...public will want to know what effect they'll have in their communities. Will they make people more secure? Or will they create some kind of dystopic Deadwood, where the law lands on the side of those who shoot first? The laws are written so vaguely that the answer lies largely in the interpretation. It's up to juries to set appropriate boundaries - hopefully ones that favor precedent, instead of completely rewriting the rulebook on lethal confrontations...
