'Axis of evil' a cause for cosmic concern

The "axis of evil" (a mysterious pattern seen in the cosmic microwave background) may be real, posing a threat to the standard model of cosmology -- the idea that the universe is much the same everywhere. New data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey suggests that the axes of rotation of most spiral galaxies appear to line up with the axis of evil.

1. American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine from SAGE explores how lifestyle affects heart disease
   01-11-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in the United States. Although some risk factors, such as age and heredity, cannot be controlled, many factors, including smoking, cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity and inactivity can be modified, thus, lowering the risk. This lifestyle concern is thoroughly explored in the headline article of the debut issue of the new American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine (AJLM) published by SAGE.

   01-17-2008 · EurekAlert!
   Sugars were once credited with magical healing powers but are now seen like salt as an evil necessary in small doses but the cause of numerous diseases such as diabetes if taken in excess. Yet latest research suggests this view ignores the vital role played by more complex sugars in many biological structures, and the great therapeutic potential they have.

3. Study finds no link between autism and thimerosal in vaccines
   05-16-2007 · EurekAlert!
   The increase in the number of diagnosed cases of autism in recent years has sparked concern that environmental toxins may cause this complex disorder. However, a new University of Missouri-Columbia study concludes that exposure to Rh immune globulin preserved with mercury-containing thimerosal before birth was no higher for children with autism.

5. Space Weather Gear Readied For The Final Frontier
   09-29-2006 · ScienceDaily
   Atmospheric outflows, auroral emissions and plasma winds? While those aren't terms we hear on the average weather forecast, they cause cosmic storms that rage just outside the Earth's atmosphere and often wreak havoc with telecommunications networks, power grids and other technology essential to Canadian society. Researchers are hoping to gain a better understanding of this "space weather" with a suite of scientific instruments being developed under the leadership of the University of Calgary's Institute for Space Research.

8. New theory for mass extinctions
   10-24-2006 · EurekAlert!
   A new theory on just what causes Earth's worst mass extinctions may help settle the endless scientific dust-up on the matter. Whether you favor meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions, cosmic rays, epidemics or some other cause for the worst mass extinction events in Earth's history, no single cause has ever satisfied all scientists all the time for any extinction event. That may be because big extinctions aren't simple events.

9. The latest about male infertility and testosterone from NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell
   10-17-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Two reports shed new light on male infertility. A common cause of male infertility, varicoceles, or varicose veins in the scrotum, also results in a depletion of testosterone. In a related finding, once a common, simple surgery is used to treat varicoceles and thereby restore fertility, testosterone levels are also improved.
