...force would convene in the event of a more urgent incident involving the virus in Cambridge, according to Alpert. “We have not had any illness whatever with West Nile Virus at Harvard ever,” he said, noting that any cases in Cambridge would immediately trigger a response from the task force. Alpert added that the task force responded by spraying insecticide several years ago when infected mosquito pools were discovered but that they had since decided that a greater threat is required for response. The West Nile Virus first appeared in North America...
...bags of candy. But even within each age group, some children responded strongly and others not at all. Stevenson's team is looking at how genetic differences may explain the range of sensitivity. One of his colleagues believes that the additives may trigger a release of histamines in sensitive kids. In general, the effects of the chemicals are not so great as to cause full-blown attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Still, the paper warns that "these adverse effects could affect the child's ability to benefit from the experience of school...
...armed, he's naked. But at heart it's a two-family drama, one being Anna's sensible English aunt (Sinead Cusack) and crabby Russian uncle (Jerzy Skolimowski), the other Semyon and his son Kirill (Vincent Cassel).

That's not a problem for Crowe, an actor with a teasing, hair-trigger temperament, who never settles for predictability when he's on screen and never lets us settle into complacency as we watch...
...parents, coaches and even athletes themselves mistake for over-exertion. And you don't have to be an elite athlete to suffer from it; there's no threshold of exercise intensity that causes the condition, so for some people, it might not take much panting. Temperature changes can also trigger exercise-induced asthma - working out in the cold brings a large amount of cold air into the lungs, which can cause airways to constrict in response. Fortunately, once it has been recognized, exercise-induced asthma is easily treated with short-acting bronchodilators such as albuterol - in the study, using albuterol...
