Europe steps up fight against tax cheats
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron is hoping to use EU momentum on tax reform to push for broader international action at a G8 summit next month.
European leaders took the fight to tax cheats Wednesday with a pledge to share bank account data across the European Union and accelerate initiatives to tackle abuse by companies.
Faced with rising anger from hard-pressed taxpayers about lost revenue and a wave of publicity about how big companies save billions by exploiting tax loopholes, EU leaders agreed to the automatic exchange of infor [...]

Underactive Thyroid and Heart Failure a Bad Combination: Study
WEDNESDAY, May 22 (HealthDay News) — People with heart failure are more likely to experience poorer health from having a thyroid gland that is even mildly underactive, according to a new study.
And among black patients, the researchers found an increased risk of death linked to the condition, which is known as hypothyroidism.
“This study is the first to show that African-Americans who have hypothyroidism face a greater risk of death than patients of other racial and ethnic groups,” Dr. Connie Rhee, of [...]
Bipartisan House group backs shield law
A bipartisan group of House members advocated for a shield law Wednesday to protect the press in light of two recent cases in which the Justice Department obtained journalists’ records.
Reps. Ted Poe (R-Texas), former journalist Trey Radel (R-Fla.), John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) and Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) are among those pushing for the legislation, which would allow a federal entity to obtain information from a journalist only if certain conditions are met — such as potential harm to national security and prev [...]
Synthetic Biologists Engineer A Custom Flu Vaccine In A Week
A copy of the genetic code of an H7N9 avian flu—similar to, but not exactly the same as the flu that has killed 36 people in China—arrived in a lab in Boston Easter Sunday, 2011. By Saturday, scientists had made a vaccine against it, the Boston Globe reported.
That turnaround time is weeks faster than the current best vaccine-making methods. The new shot-making strategy still needs to undergo approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It also needs tweaking before it would able to make the large amounts of vaccine needed du [...]

When you think of the word “crystal,” you think, perhaps, of wedges of quartz stone, ice crystals, and salt — not organic flowing forms or flowers. But by manipulating chemical gradients in a beaker of fluid, Harvard postdoctoral fellow Wim L. Noorduin has managed to control the growth of barium carbonate crystals to form very controlled sculptures of flowers, with petals, stems, and leaves.
