It’s important to know when you need new men’s running shoes. Experts suggest springing for a new pair every 300 to 500 miles. For those who are good with long distances only when running them, that averages to a switch about every four to six months, if you run 20 miles a week. As a general rule, if the midsoles or outsoles look compressed or worn, it’s time to move on....

This time the culprit is the troubled Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. The FAA has grounded all 787s after a string of fires in their lithium-ion battery packs; other countries have done the same. Which has led at least one supposedly authoritative commentator to say that Boeing is having the same battery problems as those “that have shown up in electric cars.” The problem is that the two types of batteries are, in fact, quite different....

“This goes against basic public health practice,” says Paul Spiegel, director of the Center for Humanitarian Health at Johns Hopkins University. The Centers for Disease Control recommends everyone over the age of six months receive the flu shot, and in unsanitary and crowded conditions, like those reported at camps along the borders, the flu can pass from person to person more quickly than less congested areas.
