Losing weight isn't easy, and it's harder still when your genes are working against you. But a new study by University of Maryland researchers shows that even people with a genetic predisposition to gain weight can exert some control over how big they...

The arrival of the Green Party in the 1980s and Die Linke in 2005 has divided the field, scattered voters, and made it harder to form a government at the state and federal level.

And in much of the developing world, people don't get the kinds of early warnings that Americans get. So large migrant populations - usually living in flimsy housing - get flooded out year after year. That helps explain why Asia has repeatedly been the hardest hit area by disasters in recent years...
