Staph Germ Shows Vancomycin Resistance Rising Worldwide
A new Staphylococcus aureus strain found in a Japanese infant shows intermediate resistance to vancomycin, the last resort antibiotic. CDC officials warn the resistant germ is advancing, with U S hospitals not yet affected but risk increasing. Health experts urge tighter infection control and prudent antibiotic use while drugmakers work on new treatments.

Space snowballs pelting Earth add to oceans and life clues
Louis A. Frank, a University of Iowa physicist, presented evidence at the American Geophysical Union that thousands of comet-like ice bodies strike the Earth daily, delivering water and possible organic compounds. NASA polar spacecraft images support objects entering the atmosphere at high speed, vaporizing to enrich the planet's water cycle.

Asteroid killed dinosaurs says Rutgers experts
Rutgers researchers led by Kenneth Miller argue the 65 million year old asteroid impact near the Yucatan Peninsula created a searing vapor cloud that spread across North America at over 13 000 miles per hour. They found 2 inch glass beads in 2000 foot deep cores beneath Bass River State Park near Atlantic City as evidence of the blast. The team presents findings at the American Geophysical Union meeting in Baltimore.
