...video's minimalism makes way for Ellis' rich retelling of the story. The middling hurler - whose career record stands at 138-119 - claims he dropped acid not knowing it was a game day, and took the hill despite being "high as a Georgia pine." He tells viewers about imagining Jimi Hendrix in the batter's box, Richard Nixon calling balls and strikes and coping with a ball that constantly shifted in size. But despite these drug-induced hallucinations (and eight walks), Ellis stifled the Padres, striking out six. It may not be an achievement Major League Baseball is eager...
...flibanserin findings are based on the study of 1,378 premenopausal women who had been in a monogamous relationship for 10 years on average. The women were randomly assigned to take 100 mg of flibanserin or a placebo daily and to record daily whether they had sex and whether it was satisfying. The women were screened for depression and other medical conditions, and all had a diagnosis of HSDD...

...height is, of course, an attraction, but there will always be taller hotels," concedes general manager Christophe Sadones, who has a bird's-eye view of the previous record holder, the Grand Hyatt, in the upper reaches of the Jin Mao Tower, right next door. (The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, when it opens next year, will be the new claimant for the title.) "And at the end of the day," he says, "you have to remember that this is still a hotel, and the key to success is the same as at any hotel." That means ensuring that every item...
...Given Sarkozy's long record of advocating increased diversity and better opportunities for minorities in France - including a call for U.S.-style affirmative action - nobody can accuse the President of cynically using Dati and Yade as token members of his government. But both women forged such strong characters and opinions in taking on prejudice as they made their way up France's political ladder that it is puzzling as to why Sarkozy should be surprised when they stick to their guns once they make it to the top. Indeed, Yade's willingness to go against the current is the main...
