Here are a few of the on-line stories: Galaxies That Don't Recycle Live Hard, Die Young - Galaxy Halos Recycle Interstellar Gas Into Baby Stars - The Hidden Mass and Large Spatial Extent of a Post-Starburst Galaxy Outflow - The Large, Oxygen-Rich Halos of Star-Forming Galaxies Are a Major Reservoir of Galactic Metals -NASA's Hubble Confirms that Galaxies Are the Ultimate Recyclers
