...Black Light,” Groove Armada’s sixth studio album. The lyric sums up the risk the band has taken on this new LP, abandoning their defining brand of filthy, glossy dance-pop and distancing themselves from their usual glow-stick-waving clientele. Instead, British duo Andy Cato and Tom Findlay offer up a more restrained, mature product, encompassing much of the greater subtlety and diversity of the whole world of dance music. Though this move carries with it the danger that Groove Armada will fall from the commercial success they have always experienced, by challenging themselves...
...study published in January in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, British researchers found that among 79 children who tested positive for peanut allergy in blood tests, only nine exhibited allergic symptoms upon eating peanuts. That may be because blood tests, which detect Immunoglobin E (IgE), an antibody that hunts for foreign particles entering the body, are not always accurate.

But the blood test doesn't distinguish between the two conditions...

Paul McCartney followed suit with a 1979 collaboration, cheekily dubbed Rockestra, for the victims of Pol Pot's purges in Cambodia.

Snafus notwithstanding, Vancouver has been a determinedly cheerful host city and Whistler an advertisement for the staggering beauty of British Columbia. Besides, there's still time to pull it out. What matters most to Canada is the men's ice-hockey gold. Win that, on the Games' final day, and the rest will be forgiven. Because Canadians will have shown the world that not only can they make ice, they...
...Spain and Great Britain have adopted more lenient stances, even though transsexualism is still technically on the books in both countries as a mental illness. Spain requires transsexuals only to undergo some form of hormonal treatment to modify their physical appearance before it will issue new documents, while the British simply ask applicants, with recommendations from their doctors, to promise to live out the rest of their lives as their chosen sex.
