...Along with this remove from the action was a demotion of opinion, which for many critics is the meat of a review. David Thomson, who's up there with Manny in the film-critical pantheon, said after his death that, rereading him, he couldn't always tell what Manny thought of a film - not that analysis was lacking, just an overall value judgment. I don't think that rendering an Olympian opinion was crucial for him. It was more important to look at the work closely, tunnel into its rhythm and visual texture, then write it up, with special attention...
...This disorder is found in industrialized, western nations - nations where diets have low dietary fiber. In Africa and Asia it is very uncommon," Strate says. Reliance on refined cereal grains may be a factor, Strate says, as well as red meat consumption, obesity, smoking, lack of physical activity, and perhaps even the impact of that daily aspirin so many Americans take on their doctor's advice. More study is needed, Strate says, to pinpoint causes...
Move is what Death Race does; it's an eight-cylinder vehicle from which some prankster removed the brakes. It's got the red meat of fanboy film ardor: cars with guns - the movie's tag line is "Gentlemen, start your weapons" - and cons with girls.

...that end, many of the old-school party regulars now assigned to loyally wave HOPE and CHANGE signs for the TV cameras in Denver would dearly love to see Obama switch out some of his "together we can" endive salad for a big populist pile of economic red meat. Last week Ohio governor Ted Strickland called for Obama to "speak more clearly and specifically about the kitchen-table, bread-and-butter issues." While Obama has to be careful not to delve too far into Strickland's brand of Stone Age union economics, reconnecting with basic Democratic economic issues is good...
...mice and roaches commandeering the pantry. These are indeed serious problems, but according to the CSPI report, consumers should be more concerned with the risk of unclean food contact or prep surfaces (26% of restaurants committed this violation), which can allow for dangerous cross-contamination between, say, raw meat and fruit. Another big problem: improper holding temperatures (22% of restaurants kept food either not hot enough or not cold enough), which can potentially lead to bacteria festering in poorly cooked food. Inadequate hand-washing accounted for 16% of the violations recorded, putting diners at risk for contagion of norovirus...
