...spread in six months. Virtually every nation in the world has been infected, with the U.S. alone - which has 263 confirmed deaths, more than any other country - estimated to have logged more than 1 million cases. Although the good news is that most H1N1/09 illnesses have been extremely mild, the rapidity of its spread - and the fact that young people seem to be especially vulnerable - still worries global health officials. "We don't know if it will actually ever completely go away," says David Butler Jones, the public health chief of Canada, which has been unusually hard...

She knows she's too cool to be ruffled and jealous, but she can't help herself. Thanks to boldly truthful moments like this one, along with highly naturalistic and often hilarious dialogue and a trio of appealing co-stars, Humpday quickly transcends...

Then they go on to have offspring that tend to be small themselves - and have a better chance of survival because of the increasingly mild winters. "The environmental and evolutionary processes are intertwined," says Coulson "There's still natural selection, but it's not leaving as big a signature as it used to.
