...Photos of six pages supposedly from the tractate were sent several years ago to Charles Hedrick, a scholar with Missouri State University who has attempted to translate and analyze them. But Roberty claims Hedrick's efforts are flawed in that the first four pages actually hail from a different tract bound in the same leather cover. He volunteers that the Gospel's tone is not pugnacious--"whoever wrote it had no intention of provoking"--but "it will prove those people right who feel that there is more to the Judas story than is obvious from the texts of the canonical...
...companion study found no beneficial effect on the rate of colorectal cancer. But those women were not at any particular risk of colorectal cancer. Other studies have concluded that men and women who have already had one precancerous polyp surgically removed from their intestinal tract develop fewer subsequent polyps if they take calcium supplements...
Furthermore, the women in the intervention group had 9% fewer polyps and other precancerous growths in their lower gastrointestinal tract. Given that it takes a decade or more for colorectal cancer to develop, it may be too soon to see if there's a corresponding drop in cancer rates. Also, the women increased their average consumption of fruits and vegetables only slightly, from four to five servings a day. "Maybe if we had gotten up to seven or so, on average, we would have been in a better place," says Shirley Beresford, a study leader and an epidemiologist...
...group did not see a significant drop in their rates of colorectal cancer, but here again, it may mean that the study simply hasn?t lasted long enough. The low-fat group did have 9% fewer polyps and other precancerous lesions in their lower gastrointestinal tract-and that is a statistically significant finding. Given how long it takes colorectal cancer to develop, it?s reasonable to be heartened by those results...

The Fool, a three-person design team employed by the Beatles, created the poster A Is for Apple (1967), with its warped landscape, stars, parrots and smiling Native American. It demonstrates how designers of psychedelia recycled old kitsch: Art Nouveau squiggles, Pre-Raphaelite paintings, Victorian advertisements and early Hollywood movies. Thanks...
