Your options to control prostate cancer
Article Abstract:
Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer death in men, but with early detection, it is treatable. Men in their late 70s or in poor health may be better off waiting out the cancer without treatment, but should see a urologist regularly. Prostatectomy, in which the prostate is removed, often succeeds in removing all of the cancer but may result in incontinence and/or impotence. Radiation treatment can also be effective on inoperable cancers, but may have the same side effects as a prostatectomy. A low-fat diet can help prevent prostate cancer.

Our wasted light
Article Abstract:
American homes, businesses, and utilities use so much exterior light that the country is visible to satellites at night. Most exterior light is poorly designed, and creates a glare that filters into the atmosphere rather than lighting the intended area. Residents in urban areas cannot view the night sky, and even the observations of astronomers are inhibited. Using energy-saving shielded lights could significantly reduce these problems.

What rocks say
Article Abstract:
Rocks hold secrets to the earth's past, but scientists have not agreed on how to interpret them. One debate involved the extinction of earlier species. Some said species go extinct gradually, others said extinction could happen after a catastrophic event. Both of the theories are discussed in relation to predictions about the future.
