First, there’s simply no such thing as a can’t-miss prospect. Injuries have dampened the statistics of many first overall picks before Strasburg—especially pitchers—either by limiting their playing time or by limiting their abilities. For example, 2001 second pick Mark Prior, the previous best pitching prospect ever and benefactor of the current record contract ($10.5 million), hasn’t played in a game since 2006. And 1997’s first pick, Matt Anderson, learned the hard way that a 100-mile-per-hour fastball is suddenly...
...containment approach - testing all suspected cases, closing schools with confirmed cases and offering the antiviral drug Tamiflu as a prophylactic to those who'd come into close contact with suspected cases - while certain hot spots, like London and Glasgow, abandoned the containment strategy. "The truth of the matter is, either you should get it now or try to avoid getting it - you can't have it both ways. It's so easy to give a glib representation of ignorant parents who are acting hysterically," she told the Independent...
...events is shifting west. It's possibly part of a long-term but natural oscillation, like the decades-long cycles that already affect hurricanes.

Either way, with the climate warming and El Niño changing, the future is likely to be stormy for the western Atlantic - which is bad news for everyone but hurricane researchers with a new puzzle to solve. "Those are the games we're going to play," says Webster. "It's going...
...pass holders must pay an additional fee to reserve a seat (anywhere from 3 to 45 Euros and up). Most trains require a reservation, and it has to be done at a train station, not online. The timetable that comes with the pass isn’t very useful either –the train station agent had to explain to me that she only had two itineraries for the day I planned to travel (I think she thought I was being very demanding for not wanting to arrive in a strange city at 4 a.m.). After wrangling with...
College students are often forced to make a decision between two life paths: one that feeds the soul and one that feeds the bank account. Rarely do the two meet. As a result, the average college grad - who leaves school with about $23,000 in student-loan debt - either slogs along during those first few work years in satisfying (yet typically low-paying) jobs or makes a play for grinding corporate gigs that pay the bills and deaden the heart...
