...pumped out of the earth, the survey scientists wondered, would the quakes stop? In November 1972, they forced water into four of the Chevron wells. A series of minor quakes soon began, and did not stop until March 1973. Then the scientists pumped water out of the wells, reducing fluid pressure in the rock below. Almost immediately, earthquake activity ended. In a limited way, they had controlled an earthquake...
...expert from the Veterans Administration Hospital in Dallas, is that these incidents are unnecessary. Heat stroke, he writes in the A.M.A. Journal, can be prevented if coaches and trainers use common sense and remember that active athletes must sweat in order to cool off and must quickly replace the fluid they lose. "Would the coaches operate their automobiles with half-full radiators?" asks Knochel. "The trouble is, the radiator in the car doesn't sweat. But people's radiators do, and they have to have their fluid volumes maintained to prevent overheating and destruction...
...Provide no water during training sessions or make it so unpalatable that no one will drink it. This assures that players will have no way to replace the fluid they lose through perspiration...
Stanton Davis and Ghetto Mysticism. Expect for a short fill-in gig a while back, this marks the first engagement at Boston's best jazz club for this locally based avant garde group. It's been long awaited.

...combustion agent) in Apollo's small attitude-control thrusters. If it is inhaled, the gas may cause only slight pain and coughing at first; but later, as it works its way into the lung tissue, it can lead to burnlike damage called pulmonary edema, filling the lungs with fluid. During their night aboard the carrier, the astronauts experienced considerable discomfort from coughing and were given cortisone in order to reduce lung inflammation. Next day when the carrier docked at Pearl Harbor, the three were driven to Honolulu's Tripler Army Medical Center. Waving and smiling as they walked...
