...link between artificial ingredients and hyperactivity, though the connection has long been suspected and was the basis for the Feingold Diet, which eliminates all artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners and preservatives and was popularized in the 1970s as a treatment for ADHD. Though such a diet alone is not a proven treatment for ADHD, some clinicians routinely advise parents of kids with ADHD to stick with a more natural diet." I'm not maniacal about it, but I tell parents that your kid will do better if they are on a diet that is free of additives and junk food," says...
...would be easy to predict the coming implosion of Nicolas Sarkozy's three-month-old hyperprésidence. The French, after all, are notoriously averse to change and have a proven record of stopping reforms in their tracks - just ask Jacques Chirac, who in 1995 saw his modest plans for reforming the welfare state rejected by hundreds of thousands of angry protesters; or Dominique de Villepin, whose even more modest efforts to tweak the French youth labor market some 10 years later were similarly rejected. Even when the French do not bring down governments with their feet, they bring them...
Still, Iraq has 115 billion bbl. of proven reserves and produces nearly 2 million bbl. daily, mainly from the Basra area in the south and Kirkuk and Kurdistan in the north.

(From 100,000 to 300,000 bbl. a day are lost to smugglers.) The law would allow oil companies to explore hundreds of new oil fields under 10-year agreements and then...
...Like other tabs, WWN had its evergreen celebrities. One was John F. Kennedy, who would show up every few years glimpsed behind estate gates. In 1993, a year before her death, his widow Jackie was "photographed" in a reunion with the wheelchair-bound President. The writers also proclaimed "JFK Proven Alive!" because they held a seance to talk to his ghost and the ghost didn't answer. Can't argue with that logic...
...Florida resident Clifford Phillips, who runs Casa Quivira with his Guatemalan wife, insists they're victims of the spreading anti-adoption hysteria and persecution. "This is an injustice that needs to be stopped now," says Phillips, arguing that Guatemala is treating him as if he were "guilty until proven innocent." The adoptions of two of the Casa Quivira children, in fact, were found to be legal, and those infants have since left for the U.S. But the rest have been removed to other private facilities, and nine were hospitalized with lung problems and other sicknesses...
