Abrams, 38, credits his taste for serious popcorn, in part, to school days spent sick at home watching The Twilight Zone. "That show was what I aspired to do," says Abrams, who, Spielberg-style, started making his own Super-8 movies at age 8.

There aren't many head-to-head studies of brand-name diet regimens, and now we know why. When scientists assigned 160 overweight or obese adults to one of four diets--Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers or Zone--the results were hardly dramatic.

Perhaps the most significant finding was how many test subjects dropped out: half of the Atkins and Ornish groups, a third of Weight Watchers and Zone...
...Geological Survey researcher Brian Atwater led the detective work that nailed down the tsunami-rich history of the Cascadia Subduction Zone, finding such clues as Native-American fire pits buried under a layer of tsunami sand three centuries ago and linking them to Japanese records of what appears to be the same tsunami striking villages on Honshu in January...
...EARTHQUAKE FACTORY The Cascadia Subduction Zone???where the Juan de Fuca Plate meets the North American Plate???is remarkably similar to the subterranean system that triggered the tsunami in the Indian Ocean and is capable of generating equally powerful earthquakes and equally destructive waves Some key differences: a tsunami???warning system, better housing construction and a more rugged and less populous coastline. The death toll from a tsunami in the Pacific Northwest might be in the hundreds but not in the tens of thousands...
