Meteors about the size of the one that streaked through the sky at 42,000 mph and burst over Chelyabinsk in February — and ones even larger and more dangerous — are probably four, five or even seven times more likely to hit the planet than scientists believed before the fireball, according to three studies published Wednesday in the journals Nature and Science.
Sobering idea? State floats idea of random DUI checkpoints
A group of Washington state lawmakers and advocates are looking to institute random sobriety checkpoints statewide, they said Wednesday. "The drumbeat is getting louder," said State Rep. Roger Goodman, D - Kirkland. "We've made a lot of progress in enacting DUI laws, but there's one missing piece and that's the sobriety checkpoints, which have been shown to reduce deaths by 25 to 30 percent in other states that have them." Goodman said 38 other states nationwide and the District of Columbia currently have similar laws on the books. Washington lawmakers have tried to pass a law in the past and have failed, he added, in part because the state constitution has very strict privacy laws. Opponents point to those laws as one of a number of reasons why the checkpoints would be bad for constitutional rights, said Doug Honig with the ACLU of Washington state. "In our society, if you're out and about on the highway and you aren't doing anything wrong, law enforcement shouldn't be stopping you," Honig said. "They should have to have individual suspicion that you are doing something wrong and not engaging in fishing expeditions."

There's no doubt about it, bacteria keep us alive. They're thought to encode more than 3 million genes in the body, and this complexity of bugs may also be responsible for immune dysfunction that begins with a "failure to communicate" in the human gut, scientists say. Researchers have linked a species of intestinal bacteria to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, the first demonstration in humans that the chronic inflammatory joint disease may be mediated in part by specific intestinal bacteria.
