Though he worked hard in the gym to make the team for Salt Lake City, last week he had to admit defeat. Which leaves Eberharter as top tip for Olympic honors. With four downhill victories this season, as well as super-Gs at Val d'Isère and Kitzbühel, Eberharter is brimming with confidence.

Other research has produced drugs that help restore penicillin's ability to clobber resistant germs, provided the compounds are given in combination...

Retinol is usually linked to good skin and improved eyesight, but researchers say too much of the stuff can also increase the risk of hip fractures. An 18-year evaluation of more than 72,000 postmenopausal women found that those ingesting about 2,000 mcg or more a day were nearly twice as likely to injure their hips in a fall...
