Mortars coming from the Korengal outpost lit up the sky in flashes. I could see a tangle of limbs and chests heaving to suck in oxygen. The smell of sweat intermingled with the scent of the mountain sage bushes we were crushing under our cumulative weight. My head rang with the sound of returning fire coming from the guy on my left as he aimed at the darkness below. Adam Ferguson, TIME's photographer, actually stood up to take...
When cancerous cells form a tumor and begin to grow uncontrollably, they need to induce the formation of new blood vessels to bring them oxygen and nutrients—a process known as angiogenesis. A team of researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital has discovered that the main effects of an angiogenesis inhibitor in treating glioblastoma, a severe kind of brain tumor, stem from the reduction of brain swelling, rather than any effect on tumor growth. In these tumors, blood vessels can be leaky, which causes swelling in the brain known as edema. This, in turn, can cause drowsiness, loss...

All this, he claims, leads to younger looking skin. (See pictures of Russia's patriotic youth camps...
...opportunity “to do something that’s a little out of the box.” His “out of the box” idea is to develop experiments that could determine if life exists on distant rocky planets.

Pulliam, the spokeswoman at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics said Charbonneau “is great at taking small grants and making...

Authorities say the group broke the law by assisting with at least 130 suicides across the country and disposing of the helium tank and "exit hood" used to ensure a person inhales only that gas instead of oxygen. The authorities have also frozen the group's assets, effectively putting it out of commission. Four of the group's members - including its medical director, Dr. Lawrence Egbert, who lives in Baltimore - were charged last week in the death of a Georgia man in June.
