...venues' construction costs, "we don't think our bid plan is hugely damaged" by the slowdown, said Maki. Limiting the number of new venues helps; good maintenance of several sites used during the 1964 Tokyo Games means that 23 of the 34 venues earmarked for 2016 already exist. That's a similar proportion to London's plan, though slightly higher than that of Chicago or Rio de Janeiro...
...clearing the way for six blocks of biotech labs to be constructed in East Cambridge. The Council’s decision, coming by an 8-1 vote after months of negotiations with biotech real estate developer Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc (ARE), will allow taller and denser building to exist in an area of East Cambridge previously shielded from that sort of development by its residential designation.

...microbes hitched a ride on Phoenix's 10-month trip to Mars. Once on Mars, it's possible that bacteria shielded by the structure of the spacecraft from the harsh Martian UV radiation could stay alive, in dormancy, for hundreds of thousands of years. And if native microbes do exist on Mars - nothing has been found yet, but scientists hold out hope that the ice present on parts of the planet harbors life - there's a risk that foreign bacteria could contaminate or somehow change the development of their Martian counterparts. But beyond the broad language of the Outer Space...
...statements denying the Holocaust. The Vatican issued a statement on Wednesday afternoon saying the Pope had not been aware of the claims by Richard Williamson - one of four Lefebvrite bishops brought back into the fold late last month after 20 years of excommunication - that Nazi gas chambers didn't exist and no more than 300,000 Jews died in concentration camps...
