...only it were that simple. Known for its blood orange foams, and 'spherified' croquettes made from ham broth - as well as for bringing the likes of centrifuges and hydrocolloids into the kitchen - molecular gastronomy has been more reviled than any style of cooking since a handful of chefs thought stacking a few undressed pea pods on the plate and calling it nouvelle cuisine was a good idea. That might account for why the trio sounded ever so slightly defensive as they protected the role of science in their kitchens. Brandishing a loaf of bread like an amulet, Adrià, chef...
...Returning to the Underworld franchise must stir conflicting emotions in Sheen. Six years ago, when he made the first film, he was a supporting player to his then girlfriend Kate Beckinsale's Selene, a vision in pancake face, blood red lipstick and black leather. Then she went off with the movie's director, Len Wiseman - ouch. Since then, Beckinsale has played Ava Gardner in The Aviator and, more or less, Judith Miller in Nothing But the Truth; Wiseman graduated to directing the very snappy fourth Die Hard movie; and Sheen became an upmarket character star.

...playing sports with concussion symptoms so risky? During a concussion, arteries constrict, slowing blood flow to the brain. At the same time, calcium floods the energy-producing portions of brain cells. That calcium plays a mean defense, blocking oxygen- and glucose-rich blood from replenishing neurons' energy supply. Brain cells get sluggish, and a concussed athlete who can't focus or suffers from slower reaction times is left more susceptible to a slew of other injuries, including another concussion. A second blow to the head could lead to more arterial constriction and more calcium infusions. "Concussion produces an energy crisis...
...close ties to Iran, spelling out the suspicions of some Arab countries about the Persian state's influence in the Middle East. "It's regrettable that we allow the ambitions of foreign forces to impose their hegemony on the area, to penetrate our Arab world and trade with the blood of Palestinian souls," he said...
