...Miami. "It's safe to assume that the higher water temperatures in the Atlantic are contributing to the intensity of this year's storms," he says. The number of storms is not likely to be affected by the temperature changes, says Lushine, but the strength of the hurricanes will grow as long as water temperatures keep rising...
...altered mice grow up looking and acting just like ordinary mice, with no evidence of seizures or convulsions, according to Tsien. That's critical. The NMDA receptor shows up throughout the brain, and though calcium is crucial to learning and memory, too much of it can lead to cell death. That's what happens during a stroke: when brain cells are deprived of oxygen, they release huge amounts of glutamate, which overstimulates nearby NMDA receptors and kills their host cells. Nature may have designed NR2B-based receptors to taper off in adult brains for a reason. Some scientists fear that...
Like his daddy before him, Ben Zaitz knew he was going to grow up to be a cowman. And until four years ago, he was--moving 2,000 to 3,000 head of cattle a year between his farm in North Carolina and his farm in Minnesota. But in 1995, Zaitz, then 40, got dissatisfied.

"As a generation, we haven't seen much death, and we haven't experienced a great deal of hardship ourselves," says psychologist Mary Pipher, author of the best-selling book Reviving Ophelia and the recently published Another Country: Navigating the Emotional Terrain of Our Elders (Riverhead Books, $24.95). "We weren't in a Depression. We weren't in World War II. For many baby boomers, this...
