...socially conscious rap was largely defined by his association with hip-hop collective the Soulquarians and his continued collaboration with innovative musicians like ?uestlove and De La Soul. Yet on his new album, “Universal Mind Control,” the aging rapper replaces those influences with newer artists like Kanye West and Chester French. Common’s entrance into a new crowd implies a baldly careerist effort to modernize his sound. The result is a resolutely generic club rap album entirely devoid of the musical experimentation and rhythmic virtuosity that defined Common’s early...
Getting your tubes tied is not the most appealing phrase, but it's way more user-friendly than sterilization. Maybe that's why the maker of Essure--a newer, cheaper, faster, scalpel-free alternative to tubal ligation--is marketing the procedure as "permanent birth control...
...vote on its ambitious 20-20-20 plan, which aims to reduce greenhouse gases continent-wide 20% by 2020, while increasing renewable power 20% and reducing overall energy consumption 20%.

If the E.U. can't present a unified front at Brussels, it won't be able to do so in Poznan. "You can see the U.S. and China moving [on climate change]," said Nicholas Stern, a leading British climate...
While the older, umbrella vaccine has proven effective in the past, Dr. Lo says it may be losing its potency as newer strains of the virus spread around the region.

Yuen Kwok-yung, head of the University's microbiology department and an expert on avian flu, warned recently that the vaccine may be approaching total failure...
...newer stimulant drug, modafinil, does not carry the same addiction risk as amphetamines, making it a promising alternative as a maintenance drug. But it's also less effective in treating the most severe addictions, according to Grabowski. "In our research, we were able to separate out [the more and less severely addicted patients], and the more severe people were more responsive to the more potent stimulants," says Grabowski, who has conducted two randomized controlled trials involving nearly 200 patients, which found that dexamphetamine treatment reduced cocaine use better than a placebo...
