I use the statistical properties of 4588 nearby halo stars to show that if the local stellar halo is composed of cold streams from disrupted dwarf satellites as is predicted by popular cosmologies, then at 95% confidence there are at least 1350 such streams. Moreover, no stream can contain more than 2.3% of the local stars, while average streams must contain less than 0.08%.

We present radio polarimetry results for nine Southern pulsars. Six of the nine are young, with characteristic ages less than 100 kyr and high spin-down luminosities. All six show significant linear polarization, and we confirm a previously noticed trend in which the degree of linear polarization increases with spin-down luminosity. We have used the rotating vector model to fit the observed pos...

We performed a prospective screening for Trypanosoma cruzi infection in 1350 Latin American pregnant women and their offspring in Barcelona, Spain. The rate of seroprevalence was 3.4%, and 7.3% of the newborns were infected. Routine screening and management programs in maternity wards may be warranted.
