| Federal Judges: We Need New Courthouse ...roof of the Federal courthouse in Ft. Lauderdale leaks when it rains... | |
by Brittany Wallman and Paula McMahon, Sun Sentinel
When federal judges get together in Fort Lauderdale, they talk about the weather. Specifically, the rain inside the courthouse. 
Rain from recent downpours intruded into the U.S. Federal Building and Courthouse in downtown Fort Lauderdale, exposing the federal government's longtime failure to maintain the building and highlighting what local officials say is the need for immediate repairs - and a new courthouse.
Federal judges have sought a new courthouse in Broward for at least 10 years; the roof has leaked in the architecturally unique building since it opened in the 1970s. The building also doesn't meet the latest federal security requirements, officials have complained.

These rules ensure that composite wood products produced domestically or imported into the United States meet the formaldehyde emission standards established by Congress.
Formaldehyde is used in adhesives to make a wide range of building materials and products. Exposure to formaldehyde can cause adverse public health effects including eye, nose and throat irritation, other respiratory symptoms and, in certain cases, cancer.

Common Childhood Asthma Not Rooted in Allergens, Inflammation | |
Columbia University Medical Center - Newsroom | Science Translational Medicine
NEW YORK - Little is known about why asthma develops, how it constricts the airway, or why response to treatments varies among patients. Now, a team of researchers at Weill Cornell Medical College, Columbia University Medical Center, and SUNY Downstate Medical Center has revealed the roots of a common type of childhood asthma, showing that it is very different from other asthma cases.
Their report, in Science Translational Medicine, reveals that an overactive gene linked in 20 to 30 percent of patients with childhood asthma interrupts the synthesis of lipid molecules (known as sphingolipids) that are part of cell membranes found all over the body.
Although the researchers do not yet understand why asthma...
