Though just a week old, Mike says the blog has already drawn more than 800,000 hits, in large part because a friend of his plugged it on his radio show at 94HJY in Providence, R.I. Since then, photos have been flooding in "like crazy," though, perhaps thankfully, not all of them have made the cut. "We got a submission of a photo of a mother giving a water birth. She thought it was awkward. We thought it was disturbing...
...commendable job of getting the debris problem under control since the loss of Columbia. Cameras on the underside of the ship send back live streaming videos throughout the launch phase, allowing controllers to monitor any foam or other material that is shed en route. Analysis of Atlantis' tapes show a relatively small debris hit at the 106-sec. mark in the ascent - at precisely the moment skin sensors also detected a strike in the area in which the dings have been spotted. That area, at about the spot where the wing meets the ship, isn't the best possible place...
...familiar: advanced age and the presence of Alzheimer's genes (which are associated with the growth of fatty plaques and tangles in the brain that gum up neural connections), for example, have long been clearly linked to dementia. Even heart disease risk factors are somewhat expected, since recent studies show that the same conditions that boost the risk of heart attack, such as high cholesterol, hypertension and atherosclerosis, may also raise the risk of dementia; the theory is that whatever is causing fat deposits in heart vessels may also contribute to fat and protein deposits in the Alzheimer's brain...
...Harvard Republican Club has misrepresented the significance of a highly unscientific exercise. Last week, the HRC concluded its poll of Harvard undergraduates with an impressive 1,700 responses, 62% of which favored official recognition of ROTC at the College. Yet the HRC’s claim that the poll shows “strong support for official recognition of ROTC among Harvard students” is dubious at best. A substantial self-selection bias and a low response rate show that this poll can tell us very little about opinions towards ROTC on campus. The discussion it has provoked, however...
...responses to the HRC poll and the discussion it has created does show that there is a great deal of campus interest in this contentious issue, however, and groups from across the spectrum should continue a vibrant conversation on the policy...
