Building A Better Body, One Brick At A Time
Copyright 2005 Tom Venuto
The quest to develop a stunningly fit, lean and attractive body is a long, slow journey. It's not something you achieve overnight by popping a few pills or strapping an electric gizmo to your belly.

Fortunately, some of those companies had to pay it back, and then some! The FTC charged three companies - Fast Abs, Ab Tronic and Ab Energizer - w ...

Imagine Having $42,000,000 You Can’t Spend!
Which lesson would you draw from this?
“Crime doesn’t pay?” or “Murphy strikes again?”
Here’s a story that could be fiction if it wasn’t true.
On Sunday, December 19, 2004, a gang of Belfast, Northern
Ireland, robbers initiated a daring 24-hour plan to rob the
Northern Bank.
While holding family members of two executives hostage, they
made off with the staggering sum of $42,000,000. According to
the Guinness Book of World Records, this heist rates fourth on
the all-time list and first for a peacetime haul of currency
alone.
These were not or ...

Benefits of Green Tea and Cancer Prevention
Tea and Cancer Prevention Tea drinking is an ancient tradition dating back 5,000 years in China and India. Long regarded in those cultures as an aid to good health, researchers now are studying tea for possible use in the prevention and treatment of a variety of cancers. Investigators are especially interested in the antioxidants-called catechins-found in tea. 1. What are antioxidants?

NIH Selects Burnham Institute for Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research; $3 Million Grant Will Support Pilot Projects, Core Facilities, Training
The Burnham Institute will receive $3 M over the next three years from the National Institutes of Health ("NIH") to develop an "Exploratory Center for Human Embryonic Stem Cell Research". The grant provides funds to support research that will advance understanding of the fundamental biology of human embryonic stem cells ("hESCs"), as well as facilities for supporting the work and training of other investigators in the basic methods of growing and using human stem cells.

Stem-cell debate moves to House of Representatives

Frist Supports Federal Funds for Embryonic Stem Cell Research
The Media Cynic reports that Senator Bill Frist has decided to change his position on stem cell research and now plans to support federal funding for embryonic stem cell research. Frist's position is now against President Bush's controversial and highly restrictive policy. President Bush has already threatened to veto a new stem cell bill which passed in the House that promises federal funding of stem cell research. So, it is a promising development that the Senate might pass a bill that allows federal dollars to be put towards this promising research and allows more embryonic stem cell lines to be used. Unfortunately, President Bush could veto the bill -- as he has already threatened to do. This news report contains the full text of Frist's statement.

Paternity Testing Regulation: Help or Hindrance?
Introduction The internet has opened up opportunities for many DNA laboratories to distribute free paternity test kits in hopes of a sale from returned samples. In Europe, France is the only country that regulates how paternity tests are conducted.

Society Perspective Pro: In 1941, the French government adopted a law called “Accouchement Sous X,” or Childbirth U ...
