Cuba Has a Lung Cancer Vaccine—And America Wants It
Click to Open Overlay Gallery Cuba has for several years had a promising therapeutic vaccine against lung cancer. The 55-year trade embargo led by the US made sure that Cuba was mostly where it stayed. Until—maybe—now.
America’s transportation system discriminates against minorities and poor: Federal funding for roads, buses, and mass transit still segregates Americans.

The two-thirds-of-a-mile-long bridge is one of the busiest border crossings between the two countries, connecting Canada’s Fort Erie with Buffalo, New York.
Autism in girls and women is difficult to diagnose.
Illustration courtesy of Spectrum This article originally appeared on Spectrum on Oct. 6, 2015. Subtle, significant. In a nutshell, these two words capture the symptoms of many girls with autism. Like many in my field, I’ve seen this subtlety firsthand. One 6-year-old girl I met several years ago seemed, at first, to have good social skills.
Iridium delivers satellite connectivity to Android and iOS platforms
Iridium, the name that is a curse to those who want to get away from it all and do not want to remain connected to the world in any way, is back with support for Android-powered handsets, Blackberry smartphones and iOS devices including the iPod touch, iPhone and iPad. This basically means that all those devices are capable of hooking up to Iridium’s global satellite network over Wi-Fi. Granted, the final bill that you receive in the inbox is not going to be cheap, but at least it is a viable option in the event of an emergency when you need Internet in the remotest areas without any cellular connectivity in sight within a 10 mile radius. Iridium will hook up its satellite network to smartphones through a new hotspot known as Axcess Point, where it will deliver Internet access – as long as it too, is connected to a Iridium 9555 or Extreme satellite phone which doubles up as a modem. A little math is always great to work out how much you have to pay.
How You're Born May Affect Your Brain Development
For years she had tried to be the perfect wife and mother but now, divorced, with two sons, having gone through another break-up and in despair about her future, she felt as if she'd failed at it all, and she was tired of it. On 6 June 2007 Debbie Hampton, of Greensboro, North Carolina, took an overdose of more than 90 pills – a combination of ten different prescription drugs, some of which she'd stolen from a neighbor's bedside cabinet. That afternoon, she'd written a note on her computer: "I've screwed up this life so bad that there is no place here for me and nothing I can contribute." Then, in tears, she went upstairs, sat on her bed, swallowed her pills with some cheap Shiraz and put on a Dido CD to listen to as she died.
Lotteries: America's $70 Billion Shame
This floored me: Americans in the 43 states where lotteries are legal spent $70 billion on lotto games in 2014. Seventy billion? I thought. No, that’s impossible. That’s more than $230 for every man, woman, and child in those states—or $300 for each adult.
Our Police Union Problem
FOR decades now, conservatives have pressed the case that public sector unions do not serve the common good. The argument is philosophical and practical at once. First, the state monopoly on certain vital services makes even work slowdowns unacceptable and the ability to fire poor-performing personnel essential, and a unionized work force creates problems on both fronts. Second, the government’s money is not its own, so negotiations between politicians and their employees (who are also often their political supporters) amount to a division of spoils rather than a sharing of profits.

5 Ways Scuba Diving Works Your Body ALL Over
If you think scuba diving is just for guys like Jacques Cousteau and Scuba Steve, think again. With certified celeb divers such as Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba, Sandra Bullock, Katie Holmes, and Nina Dobrev leading the way, women now make up about 30 percent of all divers, according to the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI).

More Consensus on Coffee’s Benefits Than You Might Think
Rounding out concerns about the effect of coffee on your heart, another meta-analysis examined how drinking coffee might be associated with heart failure. Again, moderate consumption was associated with a lower risk, with the lowest risk among those who consumed four servings a day. Consumption had to get up to about 10 cups a day before any bad associations were seen.
