...bathed in sunlight more than 70% of the time, just the thing for the outpost's solar panels. What's more, ridges and hills cast patches of ground in equally deep shadow, meaning a possible supply of ice that could be used for drinking water and hydrogen and oxygen fuel...
...Qinghai-Tibet railway, making it possible to go from the Chinese capital through to Lhasa. In places, like the Danggula Mountain pass (elevation: 5,072 m), you'll be traveling at altitudes used by commuter jets. If that leaves you breathless, don't worry - compartments are oxygenated, and each passenger has their own oxygen mask. The one-way trip from Beijing takes 48 hours. See www.chinatibettrain.com
Exactly what role mitochondria play in these illnesses is still unclear. It's not even certain whether mitochondrial breakdowns are the cause or the effect of disease--although researchers suspect it's often a little of both. As mitochondria process food into energy, they create free radicals--highly reactive oxygen ions that can cause damage to proteins. Many experts believe that as cells age, this damage accumulates, weakening the mitochondria irrevocably and doing harm to specific organs--or, more generally, to the whole body. There's no smoking gun yet, says Mootha, but there's some tantalizing evidence...
...hard to do--too hard for some people. But thanks to new breakup services--think the opposite of dating agencies--wannabe ex-boyfriends and ex-girlfriends can tell their partner it's over without having to say it themselves.

He will dump your significant other by phone (the "Let's Stay Friends" call and the more insistent "Stay Away" cost $25 each) or in person ($63). Then...
...looking for a place in which to retire. Gazaniol has promised to help him out for a while, but he isn't overly optimistic about the chances of success. In the 1990s, he worked hard to build Parenchère's reputation and even tinkered with the formula - pumping oxygen into the wine during fermentation to make it fruitier and smoother. But now he's 57 and looking for an easier life. "I'm not having fun any longer," he says. "The competition is growing and that scared me. This crisis will last. It's a structural one. Nobody will...
