...Tokyo Motor Show produced some fascinating variations on the hybrid theme, among them the Mercedes "Bluetec Hybrid" concept vehicle. This vehicle is a diesel-electric engine known as a "mild" hybrid, because it's a scaled-down version.

The mibrid is cheaper to make and has a small battery, which lightens the load. And diesel makes it more fuel efficient than a regular gasoline hybrid. Mercedes' parent company, DaimlerChrysler...

The appearance of an African on the coast of Yorkshire elicits relatively mild surprise from the local inhabitants. Indeed, Raphah’s skin color and its evocation of the mysterious African continent appear to be little more than a gratuitous reminder of the ancient and mystical powers at work...
...treatment of strokes and can only be used within three hours after symptom onset, according to Eric E. Smith, lead author of the study and assistant neurologist at MGH Stroke Service. Some doctors avoid using tPA at early stages of stroke onset because symptoms appear to be mild or improving, according to Smith. Some patients also arrive at the hospital too late for treatment and would have an increased risk of brain hemorrhaging if tPA were given, Smith said. “This study found that 27 to 30 percent of these ‘too good to treat?...
