NOAA Forecasters Predict Critical Fire Weather Conditions In Southwest
Weather conditions on Tuesday have the potential to create a significant fire weather situation across parts of southeastern Nevada, southwestern Utah and northwestern Arizona, according to forecasters with the NOAA Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla. Scientific Literacy Happens -- When Students Think For Themselves
Give college students less instruction and more freedom to think for themselves in laboratory classes, and the result may be a four-fold increase in their test scores. So says Steve Rissing, a professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology at Ohio State University. Rissing played a major role in revamping the way the university teaches its introductory-level biology courses. Mixing Large Doses Of Common Painkiller And Caffeine May Increase Risk
Consuming large amounts of caffeine while taking acetaminophen, a widely used painkiller, could potentially cause liver damage, according to a preliminary laboratory study. The toxic interaction could occur not only from drinking caffeinated beverages while taking the painkiller but also from using large amounts of medications that intentionally combine caffeine and acetaminophen, the researchers say. Devastating Earthquake May Threaten Middle East's Near Future, Geologi
The best seismologists in the world don't know when the next big earthquake will hit. But a geologist now suggests that earthquake patterns recorded in historical documents of Middle Eastern countries indicate that the region's next significant quake is long overdue. Coffee Drinking Protects Against An Eyelid Spasm
People who drink coffee are less likely to develop an involuntary eye spasm called primary lateonset blepharospasm, which makes them blink uncontrollably and can leave them effectively "blind,"according to a new study.

Opening a window to understand the molecular basis of a hereditary ataxia, Dartmouth Medical School researchers have identified an enzyme activity that is inactivated in all reported mutant forms of a disease protein. The discovery may lead to therapies to treat the neurological disease. Physicists Offer New Approach To Studying Antimatter
UC Riverside physicists are able to see for the first time in the laboratory that positronium atoms (each of which is made up of an electron and its antimatter counterpart, called the positron), become more unstable than usual after colliding with one another, turning into gamma radiation. [Scary] Pregnant woman says 'maternal instinct' helped her kill attack
FORT MITCHELL, Ky. - A pregnant woman who killed her attacker said a maternal instinct helped her fight off the woman who investigators believe was after her unborn child."I do believe that I fought harder because it was for my child,"Sarah Brady told ABC's "Good Morning America"in interviews aired Sunday and Monday. "It is a maternal instinct to protect your child to the very end."Katherine Smith, 22, died Thursday after luring Brady to her apartment to pick up a package supposedly delivered to the wrong address. When Smith pulled out a knife and attacked the pregnant woman, Brady fought back, striking Smith on the head with an ash tray and stabbing her three times with her own knife, police said. Brady, 26, said she didn't know Smith before the two met at Smith's apartment and can't be certain why Smith wanted to kill her."I really am not sure what was going through her mind,"Brady told ABC. "The only thing I thought was that she was going to kill me and my child and that is the only thing that ran through my mind."
