...love affair with sugar--and also with salt, another crucial but not always available part of the diet--goes back millions of years. But humanity's appetite for animal fat and protein is probably more recent. It was some 2.5 million years ago that our hominid ancestors developed a taste for meat. The fossil record shows that the human brain became markedly bigger and more complex about the same time. And indeed, according to Katherine Milton, an anthropologist at the University of California, Berkeley, "the incorporation of animal matter into the diet played an absolutely essential role in human evolution...
...their feet for open-toe season. But this year foot care may cost you an arm and a leg. "The foot is the new face," says Dr. Suzanne Levine, owner of the Institute Beaute, where she gives clients foot facials. The $225 treatment includes a mineral-oil-and-Epsom-salt scrub, glycolic-acid peel, intensive tissue-repair cream (applied with an ultrasound wand) and callus-blasting microdermabrasion.

These soldiers are the salt of this earth, but it is criminal for U.S. troops to try to "liberate" a society that obviously functions better under a murderous dictator. The Iraqis are merely waiting to see who comes out on top. They do not deserve to have U.S. soldiers fighting for them. The Iraqi men who were trained to protect and defend their people tuck tail and run. Not one American life is worth...
...what would have been an epic rematch of the Winter Olympic gold medal game from two years ago, Ruggiero could have faced Hayley Wickenheiser, who won the MVP during the Salt Lake City games after the Canucks beat the U.S. team for the championship. But alas, you wizards of the web fell short, and also didn’t ensure her victory...
