...drumbeat of bad publicity about ephedra has taken its toll. Sales were reportedly down even before the FDA's announcement. Many supplement enthusiasts have started taking other so-called natural stimulants--like synephrine and octopamine, found in bitter orange--which are not as potent as ephedra. But even with these products, information on safety is sparse--thanks once again to the 1994 dietary-supplements...
...Chemical Brothers’ “Star Guitar” replaces the people with aspects of a landscape viewed from a train window; and Gondry’s latest, the White Stripes’ “The Hardest Button to Button,” shows each individual drumbeat visually manifested by a rapidly replicating Meg White. The Psycho shower scene be damned, no filmmaker has better realized the potential coalescence of the visual with the aural in such an innovative manner...

Some days it feels as if Iraqis opposing the U.S. presence are throwing everything they can at the young soldiers and the locals helping them rebuild the country.

Howard Dean's exciting candidacy was an exception for most of the summer, but he has spent much of September stepping on his epaulets, too. What...
...those high-profile attacks come atop the daily drumbeat of hit-and-run attacks on U.S. and allied forces, which continue to kill an American soldier on average every second day, and wound more. Iraqis cooperating with the U.S. have also increasingly become targets for murder. Insurgents interviewed by Western news outlets point to Fallujah as a model achievement they hope to emulate elsewhere - U.S. forces recently pulled out of the Western Iraqi town, leaving local police in charge after an ongoing series of street clashes and ambushes of American troops. The U.S. forces may have acted to defuse...
