The influx of incidents has prompted Whitsundays’ Volunteer Marine Rescue (VRM) service to stress the importance of wearing a protective suit while swimming in local waters. The aquatic assailants are believed to be the highly venomous Irukandji jellyfish, a species so toxic that it even has a cluster of symptoms named after it: “Irukandji syndrome.” On average, Irukandji cause anywhere from 50 to 100 hospitalizations every year, according to Barrier Reef Australia....

“I was just staring at the screen saying ‘unbelievable, unbelievable,’ over and over,” said Petit, who earned fame on Aug. 7, 1974 by dancing on a tightrope he’d secretly strung between the Twin Towers, a stunt that put the then-unfinished World Trade Center on the map for reasons far greater than even its massive height. “My friends called and said, ‘They’ve destroyed your towers!’ Obviously, I can not even talk about it without acknowledging the human loss at those buildings, but I did have an intimate relationship with them - I even called them ‘my towers’ - and now they’re gone....

This is a season of joy and consternation at the OLPC program. The nonprofit project has nearly completed the three-pound green-and-white plastic XO, and it is a design and tech triumph. You can feel the excitement at the company’s Cambridge, Mass., headquarters, where tables are stacked with working prototypes (and other units are cooking in 140-degree ovens to simulate conditions in the Nigerian desert). I’ve been playing with the laptop for a couple of days, and this is no hand-me-down for poor kids in struggling countries....

Others confuse acetaminophen with aspirin or believe that it is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) like aspirin (salicylate), Aleve (naproxen), or Advil (ibuprofen). Confusion like this can sometimes lead to the inappropriate use of Tylenol in both children and adults. Acetaminophen 101 Tylenol (acetaminophen) gained popularity in the 1980s as parents became increasingly aware of the link between aspirin and a potentially deadly inflammatory disorder known as Reye’s syndrome....

“Hustle” is largely a buzzword for oldhead baseball fans to excoriate certain players who are struggling or teams that are in the tank. But when you’re hitting under .200 on a 6-11 baseball team, hustle means a little bit more than that. On Wednesday, the Yankees’ shortstop seemingly gave minimum effort on a nubbed check-swing ground ball, packing it in about 87 feet before getting to first in a three-run game in the seventh inning....

““Capital flows’’–international movements of investment funds –are the Achilles’ heel of the world economy. As investors shift funds among countries, they foster booms and busts. Asia’s crisis represents the third global episode since 1980. Major Latin economies stagnated in the 1980s from their debt crisis: too many bank loans. In 1994 Mexico suffered an outflow of funds that caused a deep recession (gross domestic product plunged 6.2 percent in 1995)....

It also has more deaths from the virus than any other country in the world, with over 42,500 fatalities, as of Tuesday....

While climate change is certainly a monumental challenge, I am skeptical that most big companies will move as far and fast as optimists hope. To be sure, there are exceptions. General Electric has announced a program to develop energy saving technologies across all of its divisions, from aircraft engines to light bulbs. Among its targets: to expand research on green technology from $700 million in 2005 to $1.5 billion by 2010....

Their central argument rests on the decline in the number of initial public offerings in the United States and the simultaneous growth of such listings abroad. This is undeniable, although 2006 ended with a significant upturn of IPOs, so the trend is not certain. Two major reasons cited for the decline is overregulation, including certain onerous provisions of Sarbanes-Oxley, and too much litigation. We should all support less red tape and the end to frivolous lawsuits, to be sure....

Flotation Tanks United States While floating in a pitch-black soundproof pod filled with salt water might seem terrifying, this is one of the hottest wellness trends in the U.S. Devotees say the lack of stimuli creates a deep state of mental and physical relaxation that lasts long after emerging from the tank. Ayahuasca Peru Hammam Morocco Hammam, or traditional Moroccan bath houses, aren’t for the shy, as they are typically experienced in the nude and separated by gender....

Much of the research on how these conditions may interrelate is pretty recent, and some of it hasn’t been confirmed by large, well-designed clinical trials. Nonetheless, a few studies and case reports indicate that people with both Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis (the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease) may be more likely to test positive for antibodies to the gluten protein, regardless of whether or not they have celiac disease....

During the “Pop News” segment of the show, Spencer shared with viewers the back-to-school course load (which includes religious studies and computer programming) of the six-year-old prince—who is third in line for the royal throne. “In addition to the usual first or second-grade things like math, science and history, the future king of England will be putting down the Play-Doh to take on religious studies, computer programming, poetry and ballet, among other things,” Spencer said....
