Anyway, setup was a snap, done wirelessly in minutes. The Palm's built-in 8,000-bits-per-second modem is way slower than today's 56-kbps standard, but 3Com made up for it by creating a low-bandwidth, mostly graphics-free way to search the Web. Indeed, on the VII you don't browse the Web, you "clip" it. Palm users can visit only participating websites (so far, a few hundred have signed up) rather than the entire Web. While I was at first offended at this idea--the Internet is meant to be open and free...
...blend popular rock sounds with Latin jazz. His music incorporates lyrics in both Spanish and English. This exotic new hybrid of music captures festive rhythms and tempos similar to Brazilian samba in familiar beats that can be danced to. Martin also demonstrates an uncanny versatility when he sings slower-tempo Latin ballads in the "danceable" rumba and bolero rhythms. GUILLERMO SAMUEL YOUNG San Jose, Calif...
Conventional wisdom used to teach that in matters of nutrition, people 50 or older are like other adults, only a little less so. Their metabolism is slower, so they require less food.

Older bodies absorb nutrients from food less efficiently than younger ones. Aging bodies continue to need not just nutrition but also aerobic exercise to preserve cardiovascular health and weight-bearing exercise to prevent bone...
...pyramid for older people is slimmer than that for the young, reflecting the need for fewer calories, not fewer nutrients. Because his metabolism is slower, a 50-year-old man requires fewer calories to hold his weight at, say, 170 lbs. than he did when he was 30, even though he continues to exercise at the same pace. Eight glasses of water or other fluids (except alcohol and caffeine) make up the base of the new pyramid. Younger adults need the same amount, but they don't have to be told to drink. Thirst tells them. As people age, though...
...youthful swing) and a sharp dresser besides. Given all his flair, a central point can get lost: he's also a masterly jazz performer. After a few ill-advised recent forays into funk and balladry, Connick here returns to form. Sure, the album could do without some of the slower numbers, but there's a lot to love--the sparkling title track, a rendition of Time After Time. Connick's vocals are deft and his piano playing fluid. A swing...
