...egregious fraud," said Obie in a prepared statement. When asked why the Ponzi surge is so great now, Obie said, "What you're seeing is the collapse of Ponzi funds in hard economic times - but I'm afraid as times get tougher, we're going to see new fraud develop, especially foreign-currency fraud...

Further, doctors commonly prescribe antibiotics improperly, while many patients who do need them fail to complete their full prescribed course. The former condition pushes bacteria to mutate and develop resistance, while the latter creates ideal conditions for resistant strains to flourish. One way to reduce drug resistance, then, is to reduce the reckless use of drugs...
...that allowing trained nurses and paramedics more freedom to act in emergency situations could help. "I'm pretty critical of the fact that doctors have such a monopoly over any kind of diagnosis and treatment," says Kondo.

...that natural selection could gradually transform a species. Scientists have observed thousands of cases of natural selection in action. They've documented that beaks of finches on the Galápagos Islands have gotten thicker when droughts forced the birds to crack tough seeds to survive. They've observed bacteria develop resistance to drugs that were believed to be invincible. Now biologists are applying DNA-sequencing technology to natural selection, which lets them identify the individual genetic changes that boost reproductive success...
