Sure, old-fashioned cookbooks are nice to look at, but they eat up too much counter space and can't compete with the ever expanding trove of recipes online. And getting recipes off websites like Epicurious and food blogs like Simply Recipes and 101 Cookbooks can leave you with a haphazard pile of printouts. The solution? Handheld devices not only let you browse hundreds of recipes on the go but also create electronic shopping lists you can easily tote to the store. And if perchance your handheld falls into the cookie batter (as mine did), you can wipe it clean...

Individual lending is a way to allow micro businesses to start to grow, providing larger, cash-flow based loans than the group might be comfortable counter-guaranteeing. Group lending, where large groups of borrowers are jointly responsible for making sure loans are repaid, is an excellent introduction to finance for micro-entrepreneurs, but the businesses tend to remain quite small, purely income-generating activities that rarely grow to scale.

If so, it's a well-kept secret that runs counter to jihadists' disdain of external "impurities" being used to attain physical fitness they often extol.

Melatonin, which is available over the counter in pill form, is a known treatment for jet lag, but the substance can't be patented, leading drug companies like Vanda Pharmaceuticals, the maker of tasimelteon, to rush to develop drugs that imitate it. Dr. Irshaad Ebrahim, medical director of the London Sleep Centre, says the recent study, published Dec. 2 in the journal The Lancet, confirms what experts already know. "I'm not sure this adds anything. Melatonin itself can be quite effective on its own. So, of course, something that mimics melatonin would show promising results," he says...
