...Qigong [This ancient meditation practice] is all about breathing. We sink down and take energy from the earth and are engaged in an internal dialogue...
Since November, in a clinical, modern conference center in central London, the public hearing of an inquiry into Britain's role in the Iraq war has been taking evidence. It has been a very British affair. Chaired by a former public servant, Sir John Chilcot, the inquiry has been marked by polite probing rather than electrifying cut and thrust. Yet for all the lack of drama to date, seats for the appearance of former Prime Minister Tony Blair, expected to take place Jan. 29, are in such demand that a ballot for them has had to be organized...
...important to clarify for your readers that not all those who receive a diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) will die within two years of getting it, regardless of whether they take "conventional blood medications" or azacitidine.

A month later, the surprise was in the other direction - unemployment had held steady, but employers reported 85,000 fewer jobs. Suddenly the headlines were downbeat, and pundits were pontificating about the political implications of a stalled labor market. Chances are, the disparity between the two reports was mostly statistical noise. Those who read great meaning into either were deceiving themselves...
