...mystery, then, why so many of Norway's samples are drug-resistant. In theory, viruses should develop resistance to drugs the same way bacteria do: through evolution. Since organisms with drug-resistant traits are better able to withstand contact with the drugs, they survive long enough to replicate and pass their traits to the next generation. With repeated exposure, a population will become increasingly resistant, with a larger and larger proportion of the organisms showing the protective attributes. Already, U.S. health authorities recommend against using two other flu antivirals, amantadine and rimantadine (sold as Symmetrel and Flumadine, respectively...
...plants that produce 10% of China's power are now reduced to less than three days of coal reserves. To cope with the problem, authorities have banned exports of coal mined in China and diverted shipments bound for factories to power plants.

Taking a pass from Ryabkina at center ice just inside the blue line, Bassett uncorked a screaming slapshot that nicked the crossbar and dropped over the goal line. The Crimson’s top-rated power play finally got on the board after four unsuccessful opportunities with 6:08 left in the game...

The city, capital of the country's most prosperous province, is a major transit hub through which millions of migrants would have to pass on their homeward journey. Road and rail outages have left as many as half a million stranded here. The main rail link between Guangzhou and Beijing was disabled when heavy snow and ice in Hunan province knocked out power lines last weekend, leaving at least 136 trains stranded, according to Xinhua.
