...heart besides lowering cholesterol levels. It turns out that the noncholesterol effects of statins, such as controlling clotting and inflammation, may be as important as the cholesterol effects. In a study of patients given atorvastatin (Lipitor) as soon as they arrived at a hospital complaining of chest pain, it was found that those who took the drug for four weeks after their cardiac event were significantly less likely to be rehospitalized or feel increased chest pains than patients who did not take the statin. However, another study that looked at the effect of a different statin taken immediately after...
...Nomad Jukebox from Creative Labs takes ages to boot up. The 6-GB Personal Jukebox 100 from Remote Solutions only takes CD rips (which means you can't transfer any Napster files you might have stored on your PC). And the 9-GB Neo 25 from SSI is a pain to navigate, forcing you to scroll through every track on a tiny LCD screen...
...What makes ovarian cancer so deadly is that it's often caught after it has spread, partly because neither doctors nor patients look for early symptoms. That's a mistake. A study of 1,700 women with ovarian cancer found that nearly all had telltale signs, such as pelvic pain, gastrointestinal upset and bleeding, before the cancer was diagnosed.

It could increase your chances of surviving ovarian cancer from...
...nuns. On Sisters of Mercy, a song from her Internet-only release not.com.mercial Cher gives the lyrical smackdown to nuns that ran an orphanage where she stayed as a child while her mother waitressed at an all-night diner. The singer calls the sisters "mothers of shame," "masters of pain" and "twisters of truth," which doesn't quite rhyme, but makes the point. The Catholic League is unimpressed. "Much like the rest of Hollywood," says a spokesman, "she is trying to sell her CD on the backs of Roman Catholics." Considering the album's title and mode of sale...
...their carbon gas emissions to 5 percent below their 1990 levels - the U.S., which accounts for at least one quarter of "greenhouse gas" emissions despite comprising only 4 percent of the world population, is slated for a 7 percent cut from 1990 levels. Reducing emissions, of course, is a painful process for industrialized nations, because it requires cutting back on coal-burning power stations and on the consumption of gasoline and other oil-based fuels. To understand the magnitude of that pain in the U.S., it is worth noting that America's booming economy is continuing to produce substantial annual...
