...surprise that the boho look has taken off in preternaturally casual California, but the style has spread across the country, thanks to such young celebrities as Mary-Kate Olsen, Sienna Miller and Jessica Simpson, who have been photographed in flowing '70s-era dresses, floppy hats and bangly jewelry. Olsen in particular seems to be channeling a style made popular 35 years ago (picture the young Joan Didion in the Haight), draping yards of fabric around her tiny frame...
...Netherlands ordered farmers to keep some 5 to 6 million free-range hens indoors. Veterinary experts from the E.U.'s 25 member states expressed "cause for serious concern," but stopped short of imposing a general ban on keeping poultry outdoors; the immediate risk that migratory birds would spread the virus to the E.U. was "probably remote or low," they said...
...same age with the same calcium scores don't necessarily have the same heart-disease risk. Like cholesterol, coronary calcium is only one of many risk factors that determine how vulnerable you are to heart abnormalities. The latest research, for example, shows that in some people, the calcium is spread thinly throughout the coronary arteries, while in others it is clumped in larger lesions. Which is worse?

...surreal mix of suburbia and security. The tight skein of roads in the area, restricted to Israelis, run through barren no-go zones where every tree and plant and dwelling has been bulldozed for a hundred yards. Thriving hothouses and comfortable red-roofed villas set in lush, green gardens spread across the dunes, huddling inside rings of razor wire and electric fence. Three-story military watchtowers draped in camouflage rear up out of back gardens, and tanks patrol the perimeters. The only Palestinians allowed within view are the laborers who come in each day to work in the hothouses...
