...innovative project may be missing the point. Diet brands, for instance, are the fastest-growing soda segment. Coke has seven low-calorie versions of its cola, ranging from Caffeine-Free Diet Coke to Diet Coke with Lime; diet drinks make up 29% of the soda market, according to Beverage Digest. Pepsi earlier this year announced that Diet Pepsi would become its flagship brand, a tectonic shift. "Cola is the fastest-declining category, and for Coke to succeed, they need a new blueprint," says Phil Lempert, food-industry analyst and author of The Lempert Report...
...starters, it stimulates him in ways his favorite sitcoms don’t. While the Kool-Aid Man’s explosive cameo and other classic surprises prove highly accessible, many of the quips from the cast force him to do some serious mental gymnastics. In an attempt to digest this tougher humor, he asks lots of questions about SAT vocabulary and allusions to the likes of 1950s X-ray glasses constructed out of cardboard and a feather. He watches episodes five or six times, laughing progressively more at each new viewing. In addition to stretching his cerebrum, Peter...
...purpose and ends when the problem is resolved. Abnormal inflammation extends beyond its appointed limits in space and time; it does not end when the problem is resolved. The inflammatory process unleashes some of the immune system's most sophisticated weaponry, including enzymes that can rupture cell walls and digest vital components of cells and tissues.

Abnormal inflammation has been linked to a wide range of diseases, including cancer, coronary heart disease and the autoimmune diseases--Type 1 diabetes, multiple...
...papacy makes for strange dinner companions: Word this week that Pope Benedict XVI dined for two hours with dissident theologian Hans K?ng may be difficult for many conservative Catholics to digest. K?ng, who had long been denied his request for an audience with John Paul II, is widely viewed as a kind of "anti-Ratzinger" because of the sharp contrast between his liberal views on doctrine and those of the fellow German theologian who would eventually become pope. In fact, then-Cardinal Ratzinger had a role in stripping K?ng of the right to teach Catholic theology in 1979, because...
...Five years ago, mobile operators started spending hundreds of billions of euros licensing and building 3G networks to deliver, among other things, video images. But it's turning out that heavy video usage can bog down a 3G network. "Broadcast is far more effective at mass mobile," says Screen Digest's Nolan. Users, of course, don't really care how the images are transmitted, but media and mobile companies do. Every bit of programming that travels over a broadcast network rather than a mobile network is lost revenue for the operators. In December, six of Korea's biggest networks will...
