What this article fails to mention, but which is included in more technical reports, is that the beneficial effects applied only to women. For men,coffee drinking had no adverse health or longevity effects, but no positive ones either.

Quoted: Heavy coffee drinkers are less at risk for heart disease but not cancer.

Quoted: Do dogs understand what you are saying to them? Incredibly, dogs may understand over 100 words. Learn more about dogs' understanding of words.

Yet, George Bush will still maintain that "Our childrens do learn."

Quoted: Students enrolled in a $6 billion federal reading program that is at the heart of the No Child Left Behind law are not reading any better than those who don't participate, according to a U.S. government report.

Quoted: Research on centenarians plus laboratory work with yeast, worms, flies and rodents are propelling scientists closer to understanding what causes aging and how to delay it.

Quoted: Stem cell researchers have announced an exciting technique that may one day be used to treat victims of Parkinson's. And once again conservative apologists charge into the fray over embryonic stem cells and get it dead wrong.

Wonderful news ...

A professor points out that this is "a classic inter-generational debate, where the short-term benefits of emitting carbon accrue mainly to us and where the dangers of them are largely put off until future generations." -- Not the kind of thing politicians are any good at addressing.

Quoted: The world would need to cease carbon emissions altogether within a matter of decades to avert a dangerous rise in global temperatures, according to a series of new studies.

Quoted: Using a recently developed technique for turning skin cells into stem cells, scientists have cured mice of sickle cell anemia -- the first direct proof that the easily obtained cells can reverse an inherited, potentially fatal disease.

Finally, we may be able to proceed with this critical research without having to deal with religious objections.

Quoted: In an unprecedented feat of biological alchemy, researchers have turned human skin cells into stem cells that hold the same medical promise as the controversial embryonic stem cells.
