Do mosquitoes really prefer to bite some people over others? And why?
Several Healthy Living editors consider themselves mosquito delicacies. Could we all be right?
“One in 10 people are highly attractive to mosquitoes,” Jerry Butler, Ph.D., professor emeritus at the University of Florida, told WebMD. Another estimate from the research suggests that 20 percent — or one in five people — are mosquito magnets.
It is definitely true that some people are more attractive to the pesky insects than others, but the reason why remains a bit of a mystery. There are a number of myths out there, including the assertion that mosquitoes prefer blondes. In reality, mosquito preference doesn’t seem to have anything to do with hair color, blood sugar levels, floral perfumes or many of the other factors we’ve heard rumors about.

Severe weather, including a possible derecho, could affect 64 million people in 10 states
A gigantic line of powerful thunderstorms could affect one in five Americans on Wednesday as it rumbles from Iowa to Maryland packing hail, lightning and tree-toppling winds.
Meteorologist are warning that the continuous line of storms may even spawn an unusual weather event called a derecho (duh-RAY’-choh), which is a massive storm of strong straight-line winds spanning at least 240 miles. Wednesday’s storms are also likely to generate tornadoes and cause power outages that will be followed by oppressive heat, said Bill Bunting, operations chief at the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla.
The risk of severe weather in Chicago, Indianapolis, Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio, is roughly 45 times higher than on a normal June day, Bunting said. Detroit, Baltimore, Washington, Milwaukee, Pittsburgh and Louisville, Ky., have a risk level 15 times more than normal. All told, the area the weather service considers to be under heightened risk of dangerous weather includes 64 million people in 10 states.

Carbon monoxide poisoning is likely to blame for the recent death of an 11-year-old boy in a motel room and the deaths of a couple found inside the same motel room nearly two months ago, police said.
Emergency responders found carbon monoxide in the room where Jeffrey Williams of Rock Hill, S.C., died Saturday, Boone police said in a news release Monday. Investigators said a preliminary autopsy found the boy died of asphyxia, which happens when toxic gases cut off oxygen to the body. State medical examiners will conduct toxicology tests on samples taken from the boy’s body.
Jeffrey’s 49-year-old mother, Jeannie Williams, was rushed to a hospital and survived.

Police investigating why a heavily armed gunman plotted a rampage that killed four people and wounded several others were focused Saturday on how the violence began: directed at his own family.
What started as domestic violence led to a chaotic street shooting spree and ended less than 15 minutes later in a college library where the gunman was killed Friday by police as students studying for finals ran for cover or hunkered down to avoid whizzing bullets.
Investigators were looking at family connections to find a motive because the killer’s father and brother were the first victims, an official briefed on the probe who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to speak publicly told The Associated Press.
The killer, who died a day shy of his 24th birthday, was connected to the home that went up in flames after the first shootings, said Police Chief Jacqueline Seabrooks. She refused to elaborate or name the suspect because a surviving family member was out of the country and couldn’t immediately be notified.

A Minnesota high school cheerleader has been arrested after police say she prostituted a teammate who has a developmental cognitive delay.
Montia Marie Parker, an 18-year-old senior at Hopkins High School in Minnetonka, was said to be popular among her classmates. Her future, however, is now on hold, pending the outcome of charges that were recently levied against her for sex trafficking and promoting prostitution.
“This particular situation is highly unusual for us. We’ve never had a situation like this before,” Chief Mark Raquet, of the Minnetonka Police Department, told The Huffington Post.
According to a copy of the criminal complaint provided to HuffPost by the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office, the investigation into Parker began on March 9, when the parent of a 16-year-old girl contacted local police and told them she found disturbing text messages on her daughter’s phone.

“Sharing is caring,” goes the old saying. But you may want to get a second opinion when the “caring” is done by a hospital, and the “sharing” is that same hospital scheming to siphon off part of your $300 million estate.
That’s the charge made in recently filed court documents involving Huguette Clark, a reclusive, extremely wealthy heiress who died in May 2011 at the age of 104 after having spent the last two decades of her life at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan. Over the course of those 20 years, officials at the nonprofit hospital may have engaged in what The New York Times has termed “an all-out fundraising campaign” to extract donations from Clark.
Clark was originally admitted to the hospital in 1991 at the age of 85, after she was found emaciated and in poor health in her Fifth Avenue apartment. After receiving treatment for a skin cancer that had disfigured her face, reports the New York Post, she continued to stay in various rooms in the hospital, even though, court documents state, there was likely “no medical basis for keeping her.”

A Chinese newborn who was trapped in a sewer pipe moments after his birth has been released from hospital into the care of his grandparents. Local officials and media reports said Thursday that authorities have concluded it was an accident, meaning his unwed mother is unlikely to be criminally charged.
The baby’s stunning, two-hour rescue from a pipe underneath a squat toilet in Zhejiang province’s Pujiang county captivated the world, prompting both horror and an outpouring of charity on behalf of the boy, who was released from a hospital late Wednesday.
The boy’s maternal grandparents took him home and the mother remains under medical care, the state-run Jinhua Evening News reported, in an account confirmed by a local police official who declined to give his name when contacted by telephone. Earlier reports had said that the 22-year-old mother herself took the baby out of the hospital.

A new invisibility cloak for data can make information vanish by creating holes in time, new research suggests.
The researchers, who describe their work today (June 5) in the journal Nature, found that by tweaking the optical signals in telecommunications fibers, they created a way to essentially mask data sent between a sender and a receiver to outside observers. This isn’t the first time researchers have taken a page from Harry Potter: Last year, scientists also demonstrated a similar invisibility cloak.
But the new “time cloak” can create many time holes in rapid succession, which means masked data could be sent at commercial data speeds, said Martin McCall, a theoretical-optics researcher at Imperial College London who was not involved in the study.
.
Scientists demonstrate how they have have created, a new invisibility technique that doesn’t just cloak an object (like in Harry Potter books and movies), but masks an entire event. It is a time masker that works by briefly bending the speed of light around an event.

We’re not sure whether to be amazed or alarmed.
A “massive” coronal hole that rotated toward Earth from May 28-31 was one of the largest such holes NASA says it has observed all year.
The amazing part is that NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory was able to capture some spectacular ultraviolet footage of the hole in the sun’s corona. (Watch in the video above.)
The potentially alarming part?
Coronal holes (dark, cold areas in the sun’s outermost atmospheric layer) are the sources of solar winds — streams of charged particles that travel at more than 1 million mph and can cause auroras and geomagnetic storms (worldwide disturbances of the Earth’s magnetic field) when they reach our planet.

Smooth, round pebbles found by NASA’s Mars rover Curiosity provide more evidence that water once flowed on the Red Planet, according to a new study.
The Curiosity rover snapped pictures of several areas with densely packed pebbles, and by closely analyzing the rock images, researchers discovered that the shapes and sizes of the individual pebbles indicate that they traveled long distances in water, likely as part of an ancient riverbed.
The rocks were found near Curiosity’s landing site, between the north rim of Gale Crater and the base of Mount Sharp, a peak that rises 3 miles (5 kilometers) above the crater floor.
.
The Curiosity rover investigated an area on Mars named Hottah, which appears to be part of an ancient riverbed.
