...several times before. And if you were surprised by The West Wing's win for best drama - since even many of its fans thought it had a subpar year - you shouldn't have been. When it comes to picking Emmy winners, there's no substitute for old-fashioned cynicism. Phil Rosenthal, accepting the best comedy trophy for Everybody Loves Raymond, said it all: Emmys do not go to hip, edgy shows. And the Emmys (decided largely by people who make their livings in un-hip, un-edgy network TV) do not give series awards to cable shows. So what...
...Democrat Phil Bredesen, a self-made millionaire, won the seat telling voters they?d never hear a peep out of him about an income tax to balance the budget. But Bredesen quickly realized the one-cent sale tax hike wouldn?t be nearly enough to cover the budget shortfall. ?The problems were more severe than I thought they would be,? he says.

But judging by the reaction to the European ones - "I can't believe how satisfying that was," exclaimed a sweaty Phil Buckley-Mellor, 34, on his way out of the store - it looks as if we're in for an inexplicable autumn...
What scientists are discovering through these studies is that with enough practice, the neurons in the brain will adapt themselves to direct activity in that frontal, concentration-oriented area of the brain. It's what samurais and kamikaze pilots are trained to do and what Phil Jackson preaches: to learn to be totally aware of the moment. "Meditation is like gasoline," says Robert Thurman, director of the Tibet House (and father of actress Uma Thurman). "In Asia meditation was a sort of a natural tool anyone could use.
