The photograph showed the son, but my eye gravitated toward the mother. That first glimpse was surprising — the stout, pale-skinned woman in sturdy sandals, standing squarely a half-step ahead of the lithe, darker-skinned figure to her left. His elas­tic-band body bespoke discipline, even asceticism. Her form was well padded, territory ceded long ago to the pleasures of appetite and the forces of anatomical destiny. He had the studied casualness of a catalog model, in khakis, at home in the viewfinder. She met the camera head-on, dressed in hand-loomed textile dyed indigo, a silver earring half-hidden in the cascading curtain of her dark hair. She carried her chin a few degrees higher than most. His right hand rested on her shoulder, lightly. The photograph, taken on a Manhattan rooftop in August 1987 and e-mailed to me 20 years later, was a revelation and a puzzle. The man was Barack Obama at 26, the community organizer from Chicago on a visit to New York. The woman was Stanley Ann Dunham, his mother. It was impossible not to be struck by the similarities, and the dissimilarities, between them. It was impossible not to question the stereotype to which she had been expediently reduced: the white woman from Kansas.

[b]Working long hours linked to heart attacks, but how big a risk?[/b]

It might be time to ask your boss to cut you a little slack, that is, if you're putting in 11 hours or more a day at your job. Those who worked that much had a 67 percent higher risk of having a heart attack or dying from heart disease than those who logged seven to eight hours a day, according to a study published today in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

That sounds scary, but workers at low risk for heart disease -- defined as less than 5 percent over 10 years -- don't need to worry much about keeling over in the office if they put in overtime. The study of about 6,400 participants at low-risk found that 1.8 percent had some heart event over a two-year period from 2002 to 2004, and that rose to about 1.9 percent in those who worked more than 11-hour days.Where the study findings may prove useful, however, is in combining the "long work hours" risk with other established heart disease risks -- like high cholesterol, smoking, and high blood pressure -- to determine whether someone is at low, moderate, or high risk of having a heart attack or artery blockage over the next 10 years. This calculation called the Framingham risk score works pretty decently at calculating risk, but researchers have long been trying to improve its predictive abilities.

Far too many folks with low risk scores wind up dying from heart attacks.

In the current study, the British researchers combined working hours (normal versus long) into the Framingham risk calculator and found that it improved the calculator's ability by nearly 5 percent after looking back at the 139 heart attacks or deaths that occurred in the low-risk group.

Some 124 "low-risk" participants out of the 6,400 were re-classified as "moderate-risk" -- defined as having a 5-year heart attack risk of 5 to 10 percent -- when their long work hours were combined with their Framingham risk score. Interestingly, 85 of the nearly 400 moderate-risk folks who were also included in the study were re-classified as low-risk once their eight-hour-long workdays were factored in.

The researchers said more research is needed to see whether their results apply to those at high-risk of heart disease and whether having doctors ask patients about their working hours can prove useful in the management or prevention of heart disease.

Before that can happen, experts first need to determine whether working long days is an actual cause of heart disease or just a marker of someone who's already at higher risk. For example, it could be that stressed out, type A folks -- who already have an increased risk of heart disease -- also tend to work longer hours.

[b]Nile River Delta at Night[/b]

One of the fascinating aspects of viewing Earth at night is how well the lights show the distribution of people. In this view of Egypt, the population is shown to be almost completely concentrated along the Nile Valley, just a small percentage of the country’s land area.

The Nile River and its delta look like a brilliant, long-stemmed flower in this photograph of the southeastern Mediterranean Sea, as seen from the International Space Station. The Cairo metropolitan area forms a particularly bright base of the flower. The smaller cities and towns within the Nile Delta tend to be hard to see amidst the dense agricultural vegetation during the day. However, these settled areas and the connecting roads between them become clearly visible at night. Likewise, urbanized regions and infrastructure along the Nile River becomes apparent.

Scattered blue-grey clouds cover the Mediterranean Sea and the Sinai, while much of northeastern Africa is cloud-free. The thin yellow-brown band tracing the Earth’s curvature at the top of the image is airglow, a faint band of light emission that results from the interaction of atmospheric atoms and molecules with solar radiation at an altitude of approximately 60 miles (100 kilometers).

This astronaut photograph was taken by the Expedition 25 crew on Oct. 28, 2010, with a Nikon D3S digital camera using a 16 mm lens.
