Lundi 04 Août 2008 - 21:00 - 5 mois depuis - Presse généraliste - The Washington Post (health)
I recently met with a group of high school and college women who had come to D.C. for a leadership conference. I wondered whether they felt -- as many women in my generation do -- that Hillary Clinton suffered in the Democratic presidential primary from rank bias against women. So I asked them: D...

Can Coal and Clean Air Coexist in China?
Lundi 04 Août 2008 - 10:10 - 5 mois depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
CHONGQING--Coal powers China. In addition to producing about 75 percent of its electricity, the dirty, black rock is burned everywhere from industrial boilers to home stoves.

Beijing Olympics: BMX Bikers Search for Gold on Laoshan Mountain
Lundi 04 Août 2008 - 10:02 - 5 mois depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
China's first-ever Olympic summer games also marks the first time bicycle motocross (BMX) athletes can go for the gold in the world's most prestigious athletic event. Forty-eight BMX cyclists--including four Americans--will bring the sport from its humble dirt track origins in Orange County, Calif., all the way to the Laoshan Mountain track in Beijing.BMX racing is different from other Olympic cycling events in several key ways: the races last less than a minute, the bikes are small and low to the ground, and the racers must wear protective gear over their faces, heads and joints to protect against likely collisions. It introduces an element of "extreme sports" to the summer games expected to appeal to younger viewers, much the way snowboarding did when it debuted in 1998 at the Nagano, Japan, Winter Olympics, according to Bob Tedesco, managing director of the National Bicycle League in Hilliard, Ohio.

Dimanche 03 Août 2008 - 22:00 - 5 mois depuis - Presse spécialisée - Scientific American
Burning incense has accompanied religious ceremonies since ancient times. Its fragrant presence may be more than symbolic, however--a May 20 study in the FASEB journal suggests that a chemical commonly found in incense may elevate mood.Raphael Mechoulam of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his colleagues injected mice with incensole acetate, a component of the resin of the Boswellia plant. This resin, better known as frankincense, is an ingredient in Middle Eastern incense. The chemical reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in the mice. In the anxiety test, for example, injected animals were less fearful of open spaces as compared with mice that were given a placebo. [More]
