...being in a certain point in labor and the pain is almost too much to bear. My mom is there, and my sister, and my sister-in-law and they've each had multiple children. I turn to them and say, "Does it get worse than this?" And they look at each other and say, "Don't tell her. No no no, don't tell her." And they all shake their heads and they won't tell me it's about to get worse even though I'm in the thick of it. It was almost like this conspiracy. This...
...landscape of the U.S. auto industry, in other words, is about to be radically reshaped. So what will its future look like? It's difficult to imagine today, with consumers hunkering down, car loans drying up and the Detroit Three struggling to survive, but the global car business may be on the verge of a big upswing in demand. Companies that can meet consumers' needs for fuel-efficient yet stylish cars - and that have flexible manufacturing plants to turn out the hot products on demand - are likely to find huge opportunities for growth once the economy recovers. That's partly...
...Trying to understand the relationship between a set of neurons and its behavioral output is going to be difficult unless we are able to look at an organism that is simple enough where we can use our genetic tools," says Herman Dierick, a human- and molecular-genetics expert at Baylor College of Medicine.

And if the recent papers are any indication, these fascinating, high-spirited and surprisingly engaging little bugs will continue to do so for a long time...

What should a mosque attended by Muslims from different parts of the world look like? The boldest of the new mosques try to answer such questions but are also powerful statements of intent. "Islam wants to proclaim itself," says Hasan-Uddin Khan, an architecture professor at Roger Williams University in Rhode Island. "These new mosques are saying, 'We are here, and we want...
...Obama even risked accepting the invitation of one British hack to give election advice to Prime Minister Brown, subverting the mischievous intent behind the question with a thoughtful response. "Over time, good policy is good politics," Obama said. Moreover, "you can wake up in the morning and look in the mirror." From a President only 73 days into his job to a politician who has served, respectively, as Chancellor and Prime Minister since 1997, such a response might have seemed presumptuous. Instead Brown smiled, apparently happy to bask in the reflected glow of Obama's optimism. Hope, as Obama continues...
