...issues of the Economist and TIME would suggest that black-hole anxiety has in fact bubbled up into the public consciousness.) But while such scenarios have been ruled out, the machine does pose a small threat to the scientists overseeing it: There's a constant risk of a helium leak, high concentrations of which quickly depletes the tunnels of oxygen...
...really, really common in women, even teenagers, to leak once in a blue moon," says Nygaard, perhaps when they cough during an illness, bounce on a trampoline or laugh extremely hard. But the JAMA study reveals that moderate to severe incontinence is also a widespread condition. More than half of all women who suffer from it, however, never bring it up with their doctors, according to previous studies. "Partly it's embarrassment, or they don't think there is any treatment, or that the only treatment is surgical," says Nygaard...

The rugs are sodden, the curtains are damp up to about four feet, and there's about an inch of water in some places. My cousin owns a rollaway storm shutter company in Florida. He warned us yesterday to be prepared for water infiltration. Dad spent the better part of Friday afternoon taping the window seams and hanging tarps. It didn't work. Plus, there's a leak in the living room ceiling. We're wondering if the apartment upstairs lost windows...
...tiny black holes were to be formed at CERN - a big if - they would evaporate almost instantaneously due to Hawking Radiation, a phenomenon named for the British physicist Stephen Hawking, whose theories show that black holes not only swallow up the light, energy and matter around them, but also leak it all back out at an accelerating pace. According to Hawking, if tiny black holes occurred at CERN, they would evaporate before they got a chance to do any damage. (Even if Hawking's theories prove to be wrong - no one has yet witnessed black-hole evaporation - scientists at CERN...
...fabric and muscle contour compression. The idea behind the compression is two-fold: first of all it provides a barrier between water and skin, reducing what has come to be known as the "jiggle" effect. Second, it keeps blood flow in the body core rather than allowing it to leak to the extremities and cause fatigue...
