...seven-year, 3.5 billion-kilometer voyage, the Huygens probe touched down on Titan last week, giving earthbound gawkers their first glimpse of its icy surface. Early transmissions from the 350-kg probe revealed a smog-shrouded landscape of boulder-strewn plains, winding drainage channels, and dark pools that may contain liquid hydrocarbon. While it remains unclear whether the Huygens data on Titan, which has been likened to a frozen version of early Earth, can help answer the eternal question of how life evolved, scientists involved in the $3.3 billion joint effort between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and Italy...
...only one who has noticed that it's practically impossible to find no-salt (or truly low-salt) foods in grocery stores? Where have all the no-salt foods gone? There are many of those new low-fat and low-carb foods, but I bet they contain more sodium to make up for a lack of taste. Nowadays everybody is expected to just take a prescription medication to solve blood-pressure problems. I want to combat hypertension through diet and exercise, not by taking pills.

Delay also opens a legal and political minefield - the current interim government has no mandate beyond the January 30 election - and raises the specter of a long-term open-ended U.S. troop commitment. For the Shiites, the election represents a long-awaited opportunity to peacefully...
BENEFITS: Relieves pain and fever but not the stiffness, redness or swelling of arthritis. RISKS: Occasional stomach upset. Because so many products contain acetaminophen, it is relatively easy to overdose unintentionally. Administration of an antidote within eight hours provides the best chance for recovery. Although the mixture of any painkiller with alcohol may cause liver damage, doctors believe the combination with acetaminophen may be particularly problematic...
...most urgent task is to contain the tragedy. Millions have been left homeless, often desperate for food and clean water. The world's largest-ever relief effort is required first to stave off the threat of disease, which could kill as many as the waves, and then to rebuild shattered lives and local economies in the ten worst-affected countries. The efficacy of the aid operation, which demands an all-too-rare level of international cooperation and common purpose, could yet spare tens of thousands more lives. But long-term aid will be required to set those societies back...
