...study in the latest issue of the British Medical Journal found that modern thin-faced titanium golf clubs produce a noise loud enough to damage the sensitive hairs of the inner ear. Provocatively titled "Is Golf Bad for Your Hearing?" the study focused on the case of a 55-year-old man who developed tinnitus and hearing loss in his right ear after playing golf three days a week for 18 months with a thin-faced titanium driver, the King Cobra LD. After ruling out age-induced hearing loss and damage from exposure to other loud noises, the patient...
Although noise-induced hearing loss typically occurs from continuous loud exposure, it can also result from high-intensity "impulse noises," such as gunshots or explosions. According to Dr. Malcolm Buchanan, one of the report's authors, the safe limit for impulse noises is 110 decibels. The titanium drivers all exceeded this limit, with one club cracking out 128 decibels. (See the full results here.) The noise measurements would have been even higher at an enclosed driving range, Buchanan said...

And the flirtation with various cease-fire proposals earlier in the week by the man in charge of Operation Cast Lead, Defense Minister Ehud Barak, has prompted a revival within the ranks of the nickname "Zig-Zag" - originally applied...
When temperatures drop, the culture wars heat up. For many, Christmas isn't just a time to count blessings with friends and family, don loud sweaters and pound eggnog - it's a season so vital that defenders of the faith must remain vigilant lest it be desecrated. "Christmas is under attack in such a sustained and strategized manner that there is, no doubt, a war on Christmas," wrote FOX News host John Gibson in his eponymously titled 2005 book, The War on Christmas: How the Liberal Plot to Ban the Sacred Christian Holiday Is Worse than You Thought...
