...Their conclusion: The racing legend was the victim of a disastrous chain of events. He hit the wall at 160 mph, just milliseconds after his car was hit broadside - and to top it all off, his seatbelt ripped apart during the crash. Those events conspired to fling the unprotected back of Earnhardt?s head against the steering wheel, the support behind his seat or both...

...Knoll, this strongly suggests that the basis for a complex marine food chain was in place 1.5 billion years ago, yet for some reason never got past the square marked GO. Why not? The hypothesis Knoll favors invokes the competition between two classes of compounds for control of the biochemical environment, one based on oxygen and the other on sulfide. During most of the Proterozoic, it turns out, only the shallows were infused with oxygen. The deep oceans, by contrast, were inordinately rich in sulfides, which indirectly interfere with the ability of algae to make use of growth-promoting nitrogen...

...assignment in Folkman's lab was to find a way to release gradually a stream of large organic molecules into the tissue of a laboratory animal. Researchers had already tried encasing large molecules like the one Langer was testing in polymers (long-chain molecules, such as silicone, that are semipermeable to certain types of molecules). Unfortunately, this particular molecule--like most of the new drugs being created in biotech labs--was much too large to fit through the tiny holes in any of the available polymers. The problem, polymer experts told Langer, was unsolvable...

...cutting off the sunken submarine's bow torpedo bay, has been delayed at least a week, raising new questions about just how serious the Russian government is about ever finding out just what went wrong. The delay has been explained as a failure of the Dutch-made underwater saw-chain and as the fault of rumored poor training of the Russian contingent of the diving team. Unconfirmed information that the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office (CMPO) allegedly intervened to prevent sawing off the bow, only heightens suspicions that the boat will never be raised - or was ever meant...
