...benefit of a fan became apparent, however, when it was used in sleep environments typically associated with a higher risk of SIDS. For example, researchers found that fans were associated with a 94% reduction in SIDS risk for babies who slept in rooms that exceeded 70 degrees F (21 degrees C); an 85% reduction for infants in rooms with closed windows; an 86% reduction among babies placed on their sides or stomach to sleep; and a 78% reduction among those who did not use a pacifier (the pacifier's handle is hypothesized to help maintain babies' breathing space under...
Government data indicate that the flu shot is more necessary than ever. The rate of flu deaths among children, while not high, are continuing to rise - more than 80 deaths were recorded in the 2007-2008 flu season, according to the CDC - highlighting the potential benefit of vaccination...
...member of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the nasal spray may help the immune system launch a broader and more diverse immune defense, since the vaccine contains weakened forms of live flu virus that replicate rapidly in the mucosal tissues. Such furiously multiplying viruses may actually benefit vaccine effectiveness in flu seasons like those included in the study, when there is significant mismatch - or "drift" - between the circulating flu strains and the vaccine strains, because the faster the viruses divide, the more likely they are to develop more mutations, some of which may actually end up matching...
...people who will truly benefit from Operation Painting Wall Street Crimson are us Harvard students, starting with the Class of 2009. This past summer, some of our present seniors were resigning themselves to getting into bed with one of the Lehman Brothers.

They will think of taking that internship with The Times, or moving back home to Michigan to help their depressed community, or continuing their cancer research, and out of the ashes of greedy Wall Street a hundred little Timmys will...
...With all the American scientists working at the LHC, it’s true that we can benefit somewhat from the discoveries made at CERN without having to foot the bill. But we risk losing our leadership role in science and technology if we continue to let similar landmark projects be completed elsewhere. As President Clinton wrote in 1993 in a vain attempt to stop the cancellation of SSC, “the United States is compromising its position of leadership in basic science - a position unquestioned for generations.” In the time since then, we have also...
