Barrett long ago wrote off St. John's wort as a treatment for severe depression, posting a dispassionate analysis of the evidence for and against it on his website, www.quackwatch.com alongside similar dismissals of such nostrums as bee pollen, royal jelly and "stabilized oxygen." His site--filled with useful links, cautionary notes and essays on treatments ranging from aromatherapy to wild-yam cream--is widely cited by doctors and medical writers and draws 100,000 hits a month. It has also made Barrett a lightning rod for herbalists, homeopaths and assorted true believers, who regularly vilify him as dishonest, incompetent...
...drone's benefits are obvious: without people aboard, costs can be slashed because expensive life-support systems such as oxygen supplies, ejection seats, fire-suppression systems and armor aren't needed. The nimbleness and speed of today's fighters aren't limited by weak engines or fuselage stress limits but by the human body's inability to withstand high G-forces, a problem that would disappear in a pilotless plane...

...boppy record. I think I was feeling pretty dark, and what they did was take the darkness and didn’t make it so oppressive. That’s the best word for it, really. They kind of put some light into it, they put some bubbles, some oxygen into it and translated what was quite a grim state of mind and made it into something that was quite fun, in a way, without being silly...
...short for supersonic combustion ramjet. It uses the rush of air at high speed to ignite fuel and produce thrust, rather than relying on compressed air from a jet engine's fan blades. As well as being capable of hypersonic speeds (greater than Mach 4), scramjets get their oxygen from the air rather than tanks (as rockets do), reducing cost and freeing up space for cargo or passengers. They are also currently environmentally friendly: all three models under test run on pollution-free hydrogen...
