...what exactly I expected the flight attendant to do about my plight. Return for the bag separately? Tell me to leave it in on the floor for the clean-up crew? Have me toss it to the family of five seated in the back row and ask them to tip it on into the restroom? What I most certainly did not expect was that, in the wake of our exchange, said attendant would become so anxious about what precisely I would do with my toxic cargo that I would be given permission to leave my seat and take...
...with unusual frequency after sitting on their brushes to clean inside chimneys.In his biology of cancer course, Marshall says he learned that benzopyrene, like all compounds produced from burning organic materials, is hydrophobic.He says these facts inspired him to design a better cigarette filter, which he called ROMAR. The tip of the filter is hydrophobic, so it filters benzopyrene far more effectively than a standard filter, he says as he shows data from his preliminary tests on the device.None of Marshall’s inventions has been produced commercially, although he says he believes that tobacco companies have found...
WHAT'S THE IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY?

It's too soon to say whether the tip that caused the U.S. to target a benighted village in northwest Pakistan was real or just another false lead. In fact, the identities of those who died in the strike may never be established to the satisfaction of the U.S., given the difficulties of obtaining unbiased witness accounts and the even...
