...news sprang from a review of the medical records of more than 10,000 women who belonged to a Seattle-area health plan. The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared pharmacy and breast-cancer-screening records and found that women who filled 25 or more prescriptions for antibiotics over a 17year period developed breast cancer at twice the rate of those who took no antibiotics. Moreover, there seemed to be what scientists call a dosage-response trend: among women who took more antibiotics, the death rate from cancer was even higher, as much...
...health--not with the small crews and relatively short stays the station can accommodate. Its current crew does little with its time but maintain hardware and fix problems, the latest being a worrisome oxygen leak that has so far bled away 4% of the station's air since it sprang in late December...
...duracrust gave new relevance to a study published in 2000 by microbiologist Russell Vreeland of Pennsylvania's West Chester University. Vreeland discovered some 250 million-year-old salt crystals in New Mexico that contained tiny quantities of ancient water. The water held preserved spores that sprang back to life once their salt and nutrient levels were adjusted. Whether this is possible in the punishing, radiation-soaked environment of Mars is hard to say, but it certainly makes anything that hints at salt worth a closer look...

Indeed, a centuries-old inferiority complex pervades the daily existence of the Yalie, a fascinating iteration of humanity that combines decently high SAT scores with an irrational penchant for mediocrity...
