Drawing on more than 18 years of experience in Asia and at research institutes in the United States, Overholt said he wanted to “debunk some myths that are popular in this country” about America’s relation to China...
...resources, you could always launch your own counterattack: Barack Obama, frustrated with the false rumors being spread about his background and religious history, created a website in June called Fight The Smears to debunk them. But taking matters into one's own hands can be fraught. Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales was notoriously outed in 2005 for attempting to whitewash his own entry on the site (Wiki contributors noted that he deleted references to his Wikipedia co-founder, Larry Sanger, as well as to a search site he founded that included adult content). Now a monitoring program called WikiWatcher aims...
...attempt to debunk terroir was more difficult than I had anticipated. Though all 50 states make wine (ever since North Dakota joined the pack in 2002), it's not so easy to get a bottle from each state.

So if you try to duplicate this project, know that it's best undertaken slowly while traveling around the country--or during the summer, when you have a lot of interns...

While sexual dysfunction undoubtedly contributes to a drop in desire, what I've found in working with couples is that the reasons men don't want to have sex are very similar to the reasons that women don't want to have sex. There could be underlying, unresolved relationship problems. Or one of the biggest complaints I hear from men is that their wives are critical or nagging. Trust me on this one, criticism...
