...trouble. It's how I went through my early years of childhood." Still, he resisted the obvious Proustian implications and stuck to the argument that while a civilian foodie would compile an elaborate, complicated meal, a chef appreciates the perfection in simplicity--a sentiment shared by Florence, a Food Network host. "One of the most brilliant meals I've ever had was at Il Cibreo in Florence. Or real authentic dim sum in Hong Kong," says Florence, who grew up in Greenville, S.C. "But if you've been around the block a few times, they're just a notch...
...McKinsey study says will be worth $1.52 trillion by 2025 - has local and overseas corporations salivating. India is a nation of shopkeepers: over 95% of the country's estimated 12 million retail outlets are small, mom-and-pop operations, striving alongside countless hawkers, vendors and street-stall owners. The network of small local markets that supply much of India's groceries has been honed over decades, but the notoriously inefficient system of middlemen it relies upon has been dogged by wastage...
...researchers conducted Phase I trials at Buck and at the Cancer Research Network in Plantation, Fla. Their 21 participants had stage IV metastatic breast cancer, which had continued to progress despite an average of four rounds of standard treatment, including chemo and hormone therapy. The patients took 12 g a day of Ban Zhi Lian, a dose that's three times more concentrated than the amount found in a cup of brewed tea. After about a year, 25% of the patients saw stabilization in their disease for 90 days, and 19% for 180 days. The experimenters say BZL101 works...
...what officials give them. In fact, the TOPOFF includes reporters already, but they are government employees who only pretend they work for the media. They go to "press conferences" and ask officials for comment, and the whole show is even televised - on what is called VNN (a Virtual News Network). Why can't real reporters play that role? And while we're at it, why can't regular residents from Portland volunteer to walk down the street during the simulation - and then do whatever feels natural as the event unfolds? No live ammunition is allowed anywhere near the sites...
That the IPCC was named along with Gore came as more of a surprise, but it's an elegant inclusion. If Gore has been the lead singer on climate change for years now, the IPCC - a loose network of more than 2,000 scientists from around the world - has been his chorus. Established by the U.N. in 1988 as the final scientific authority on global warming, the IPCC has issued four assessments - the most recent this year - taking the current temperature of climate change. Reading the successive reports, which grow more and more confident about the reality and the danger...
