...their lives; nearly one third admitted having done so in the preceding month, and 16% cited regular or daily use. Average age for first use, meanwhile, is just over 15 years. Legislators fear that legalizing a substance already popular among young people will carry a heavy future price tag, as other freely traded drugs have had. Though annual social costs linked to cannabis are currently estimated at $1.26 billion, wider use could send them rocketing closer to those attributed to alcohol - over $50 billion - and tobacco, nearly $61 billion...
...flesh romp that admirers would extol (seriously) for its plot, camera angles and musical score. It went on to earn the brothers $30 million on their investment. As Jim once philosophized: "The only art in this business is my brother Art." But success came with a heavy price tag. In 1991 Jim shot and killed his brother while trying, according to Jim, to persuade him to stop drinking and ended up serving three years in prison. According to a family source, Mitchell, 63, died of a heart attack while watching...
...paint is a blend of chlorotoxin derived from the scorpion (nonpoisonous to humans) and a fluorescent molecule that emits near infrared light. The scorpion-derived peptide homes in on the cancer cells and binds to them, bypassing healthy cells. The fluorescent tag is piggybacked onto the peptide. After doctors remove a tumor, they use a special camera that captures near infrared photons to look at the body and see any stray cells the scalpel left behind. At those wavelengths, light from the fluorescent marker cannot be blocked by blood, other body fluids or even thin bone...
...soirée set. Baloun invented a life-size Hungarian town square for financier George Soros' 70th birthday. For a New York City welcome for Prince Charles, Baloun conjured up a forest of trees in a towering tent at Lincoln Center, complete with painted stars on the ceiling. The price tag for such rarefied celebration could reach $10 million. Baloun, 61, died from pancreatic cancer...
There's good reason to spend so much time and money--Dawn carries a $446 million price tag--getting to Ceres and Vesta. The composition and reflectivity of the bodies suggest they were formed within the first 3 million years of the solar system's life, whereas Earth was something of a late arrival, coming along about 27 million years later. A close look at Ceres and Vesta, then, is a close look at a local cosmos that our planet wasn't even around to see. "These two objects are our best opportunity for going back into time," says Christopher...
