While it's still hotly debated among scientists whether climate change causes a shift from the traditional form of El Nino to one known as El Nino Modoki, online in the journal Nature Geoscience, scientists now say that El Nino Modoki affects long-term changes in currents in the North Pacific Ocean. El Nino is a periodic warming in the eastern tropical Pacific that occurs along the coast of South America.

The American Heart Association is re-arranging the ABCs of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in its 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association.

"Even a dangerous furnace will still heat your home. Nearly 100% of our customers with bad heaters are unaware of their dangerous ...

"When I worked in Peru, every day I'd walk past a plaque in the administration building that honored the college's former president and dean, who both ...

Computers and software have come so far that being a highly trained programmer is not so important anymore.
