...hours, when most drivers are likely to recharge their cars. Renault's ZE is being tested in Israel, where there are plans to install the nation's first battery-charging stations, outside Tel Aviv, by the end of the year. Yet Israel is hardly typical; its 7 million people live in a tiny country with a reliable electricity supply and closed borders - perfect conditions for installing a nationwide network of electric charging stations...
...species lacked the necessary data to be classified as safe or threatened. "The reality is that the number of threatened mammals could be as high as 36%," noted Jan Schipper, the director of the Global Mammal Assessment for CI. If we don't act soon, our children may live in a world where the only place they'll be able to see unique mammals like Madagascar's greater bamboo lemur will be in history books...
...NICHD's federally funded "Back to Sleep" campaign, which advocates for putting babies to sleep face-up, has helped reduce the national SIDS death rate 56%, from 1.2 deaths per 1,000 live births in 1992 to .53 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2003. In addition to placing babies on their backs to sleep, pediatricians recommend that parents use firm mattresses for babies, avoid soft bedding such as comforters and quilts, put babies in their own cribs at night, keep infants from overheating and refrain from smoking during pregnancy and infancy...
...adults). In kids, says Dr. William Schaffner of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine and an advisory member of the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, the nasal spray may help the immune system launch a broader and more diverse immune defense, since the vaccine contains weakened forms of live flu virus that replicate rapidly in the mucosal tissues. Such furiously multiplying viruses may actually benefit vaccine effectiveness in flu seasons like those included in the study, when there is significant mismatch - or "drift" - between the circulating flu strains and the vaccine strains, because the faster the viruses divide...
...lame-duck” UC should be remedied by reconvening representatives from the previous year each fall. Certainly, this system of representation has its pitfalls: Houses with senior representatives last year would lack a direct voice on the Council, and last year’s freshman representatives would now live in houses instead of the Yard. But even such an imperfect solution seems superior to a system that deprives students of representation altogether. Since UC efforts often continue through the summer and into the following year, an interim assembly could easily focus on these ongoing issues until elections take place...
