...latest evidence for that assertion comes in a study just published in the journal Forest Ecology and Management, in which Finnish researchers looked at how the northern forests will respond as the growing season gets longer. In the current climate, says lead author Anna Kuparinen, of the University of Helsinki, pine and birch trees in the northernmost parts of Europe are stunted, in part because they have less time to grow each year than their more southerly counterparts. They've also evolved mechanisms that protect them from the harshest cold. "They actually stop growing before the frost comes," says Kuparinen...
...David Axelrod, Obama's top political adviser, explained the overarching Democratic campaign message during a recent interview with the National Journal. "[If] they want to stand with the insurance industry on health care and protect the status quo, then let them defend that in an election," he said. "If they want to stand with the banks and the financial industries and protect the status quo, then let them explain that in an election." (See pictures of TIME's Wall Street covers...
Last January a team of scientists at the World Health Organization (WHO) published a study in the British medical journal the Lancet making the audacious claim that the tools already exist to end the AIDS epidemic. Doctors have long noted that antiretrovirals - the drugs commonly used to treat HIV - are so successful at suppressing the number of viruses in an infected patient's blood that they can render a person no longer contagious. Using mathematical models, the researchers claimed that universal HIV testing followed by the immediate treatment of newly infected patients with antiretroviral drugs could eliminate the disease from...
...study in the journal Science suggests that such thinking is too good to be true. And the problem is drug resistance. Extensive antiretroviral treatment can result in the development and transmission of drug-resistant strains of HIV - something the Lancet study did not consider. In the new study, published on Thursday, a team of scientists from the University of California, the University of Tennessee and the University of Ottawa analyzed data from San Francisco, where antiretroviral drugs have been extensively prescribed to HIV patients since AZT was introduced in 1987. In that city, drug resistance has grown steadily and, according...
...would be a major long shot,” Robert Winters, who maintains the political commentary website the Cambridge Civic Journal, said last week about Decker’s possible candidacy. “I don’t think she’s well known outside this district...
