...SiteAdvisor Here you'll find a free downloadable application that, once installed inside your own Web browser (it works with FireFox and Internet Explorer), aims to keep you out of trouble - or, to be precise, stop you from clicking through to websites where spyware, worms, and other cyber threats lurk. The program attaches tiny color-coded icons to links that appear on a list of search returns - a green check means it's safe to proceed, a red X means it's not; a yellow icon indicates nuisances such as spam or pop-ups. Why would you need this? Because...
Sciona's customers are going to have to wait a while for more comprehensive genetic exams. Researchers now have a good reference guide for the 25,000 or so genes of the human genome and the more than 3 million common variants that lurk within those genes. They still need to figure out how all those genetic variables relate to health and disease. Add the fact that food is full of hundreds of bioactive compounds, each of which varies depending on where plants are grown or animals are raised, and you've got quite a lot of information to puzzle...
...fine artists rather than mere craftsmen. His brand seemed to be quality, a refined ristorante simplicity. But as he hawks his line of pork sausages to NASCAR fans, one already senses the distress of his original aficionados. Do you order a $30 squab from the NASCAR chef?

Wolfgang Puck doubtless earns millions from ventures like his little plastic-wrapped, refrigerated sandwiches sold at the airport. But eating...
...especially now that the Cold Crush Brothers’ Grandmaster Caz leads bus tours of the South Bronx for flabby middle-class fans. But beyond the obvious danger of fetishization suggested by the recent invasion of many of rap’s holy sites by camera-toting amateur anthropologists lurk more subtle methodological problems.As tennis shoes and ghettoblasters fill gallery walls, hip-hop curators will inevitably encounter many of the same issues of performance and ephemerality that plague today’s Dada chroniclers at the National Gallery of Art.But while both art forms emphasize live improvisation and countercultural rhetoric...
...delicate and the dangerous meet in the ranch lands of South Texas. In the winter, quail gather in the soft gold of prairie sedge, but snakes, scorpions and wild-boar-like javelina lurk too. In 1999 a fourth-generation South Texas rancher named Tobin Armstrong testified before Congress that he sometimes found illegal immigrants dead of dehydration in the unforgiving brush of his 49,300-acre ranch. It was there that Vice President Dick Cheney, out with a hunting party that included Tobin's daughter Katharine, accidentally sprayed attorney Harry Whittington with birdshot. What took place in the hours before...
