In yet another case of nerdy high school math experts proving indispensable to the jocks later in life, consider this from Harry Zettel, VP of business development for Healthpro.com:

When someone with a high fever walks into a rural African clinic, diagnosis could be murky. The symptoms could be those of dengue, Ebola, West Nile disease, malaria or flu, and blood work results from distant labs, if available, often takes days.

With the price of gasoline hovering below $2 a gallon, it might seem that Tesla CEO Elon Musk will struggle to reach the masses. But there are signs the mainstream buyer could soon become more open to plugging in, even if oil prices remain depressed.

Nearly six years after developing the first self-replicating life form with a chemically created genome, scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute in La Jolla have cut that bacterium's genome nearly in half. The result is a creature with a smaller genome than has ever been found in nature.
