...Duped, Drop by Drop I cannot believe that TIME would use an entire page to review bottled water [June 25-July 2]. Most people can't even distinguish between tap water and bottled water. I heard of a test in which different water bottles were filled with tap water from the same tap. Surprisingly, most participants thought they were drinking genuine bottled water and claimed that the (same) water from different bottles tasted different. That is nothing more than the power of suggestion. Unfortunately, our minds are being deceived not only by water bottlers but also by alternative medicine, psychics...
...power a British military fighting vehicle, it has run out of life. Within two days, it will be completely dismantled by a two-person crew, and each piece - every bolt, nut, spring and valve - will be vetted to see which ones are salvageable. Most will pass the test: 95% will be cleaned or otherwise refurbished. Then, with a handful of new parts added to the mix, the engine will be reassembled.

In early, pre-PSA studies, more men overall ended up developing cancer - since they weren't screened for preliminary signs of the disease, they couldn't be treated early. In these studies, a strong link between lycopene and the reduction of later-stage aggressive tumors emerged. But in post-PSA studies, this association weakened, since fewer men went on to develop the aggressive, advanced form of the disease. "I'm still as enthusiastic...
...greens keeper, John Philp, whose fingers are stained black by the course's soil, says such a tally would be an insult to the links' distinguished history: "Golf was never meant to be a fair game, or an easy one. We've got the reputation as being a beastly test, but that's what golf is - it's a beastly test...
