...comforting thought, except for one thing: it's not true. A study published in the Jan. 9 issue of Science shows that far from compensating for the damages associated with climate change (heavier and more frequent storms, increasing desertification, sea-level rise), hotter temperatures will seriously diminish the world's ability to feed itself. David Battisti, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington, and Rosamond Naylor, director of the Program for Food Security and the Environment at Stanford University, analyzed data from 23 climate models and found a more than 90% chance that by the end of the century...
...quickly a food is broken down and absorbed by the body, and it's the driving principle behind such weight-loss plans as the Atkins and South Beach diets. But while scientific studies have documented the impact of too much dietary fat and carbohydrate on the body - making us heavier and increasing our risk of diabetes and heart disease - the evidence has not been as clear for high- or low-glycemic index foods. So, a new study published today in the Journal of the American Medical Association adds welcome evidence in favor of keeping your glycemic load in check - particularly...
Many in the audience left bearing copies of Adria's new book, A Day at elBulli, not cheap at $49.95. Others had brought with them the even heavier volumes of his earlier cookbooks ($400 a pop) to be signed.

...This whole mess began in the first place, we're told, because of too little government. Those crafty capitalists on Wall Street should have had a heavier dose of regulation to keep them in line. Even the whole concept of free, liberal economies has come under attack. Some observers have gone so far as to praise state-guided economies, like those of China or the Gulf emirates, where the government owns or controls large swaths of the economy, as superior to their laissez-faire counterparts. Columnist Joshua Kurlantzick wrote that these countries "have proven so successful that even before...
...classmates—who amassed a 6-9 record on the day—O’Connor and co-captain Louis Caputo (184) provided plenty of inspiration themselves, posting the only two overall victories for Harvard.No. 5 O’Connor, competing for the first time in a heavier weight class, will undoubtedly see this ranking rise after defeating Cornell’s Jordan Leen, the nation’s best wrestler and defending national champion at 157. After dismantling four opponents who managed no better than a 6-2 margin, O’Connor battled fiercely...
