Food 'Tricks'That Combat Sneaky, Creepy Halloween Treats The sneakiest, creepiest surprise this Halloween may actually be in the candy dish. A new study shows we eat about half as many mini-size Halloween candies when the old wrappers are in plain sight, according to researchers. "Having a visual reminder of how much they ate, helped them eat less,"says researchers. "Your stomach can't count, but your eyes can when they seen the empty wrappers." [Funny] A referee has sent himself off in an English amateur league ma Andy Wain had to abandon the Sunday league match between Peterborough North End and a Royal Mail side in the 63rd minute after throwing down his whistle and marching up to confront North End's keeper. The Torture Question This Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Frontline program "traces the history of how decisions made in Washington in the immediate aftermath of Sept. 11 ... led to a robust interrogation policy that laid the groundwork for prisoner abuse in Afghanistan; Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; and Iraq."Features opinion from legal experts about whether torture is ever justified, analysis of treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq, a video tour of U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, photos, and more. UCLA Physicist Applies Physics To Best-selling Books Yes, says UCLA physicist and complex systems theorist Didier Sornette, who used statistical physics and mathematics to analyze 138 books that made Amazon.com's best-seller list between 1997 and April 2004. His team's initial results are published in Physical Review Letters Nov. 26. Skimmed Milk Reduces The Risk Of Hypertension By 50 Percent The American Journal of Clinical Nutritionis the peer-reviewed journal of international reference in the field of nutrition. In the November issue, it published an article which demonstrated that non-fat milk products can reduce the risk of hypertension by 50 percent, while nevertheless there is no appreciable connection between that disease and the consumption of whole milk. Tiny Radioactive Spheres Effectively Treat Cancer That Has Spread To T Placing tiny radioactive spheres directly into the liver through its blood supply halted growth of tumors that had spread to the organ in 71 percent of patients tested in a small clinical trial, researchers report. [Ironic] LONDON: A jailed cocaine dealer is working as Santa Claus on John Tams, who dons beard, boots and red suit to work in a cafe's Christmas grotto, said he wanted to give something back to the community... Gene Variants May Help Fend Off HIV Infection A team of researchers based partly in South Africa has identified a key set of immune system molecules that helps determine how effectively a person resists infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Their work shows that mothers with a specific type of genetic makeup may be less likely to pass HIV to their offspring. Probing The Genes Of An Eccentric Beetle Pest Before you take a swat at that next buggy kitchen invader, think again. It could be the red flour beetle, one of science's most distinguished organisms. Thanks largely to the efforts of Agricultural Research Service (ARS) entomologist Richard Beeman, this insect--best known for sneaking flour from kitchen cupboards--became the first beetle and agricultural pest to have its genome sequenced. New Method For Quantum Cooling Discovered Physicists at The University of Texas at Austin have discovered a new technique for cooling atoms and molecules that will allow them to study quantum physics more effectively with a greater variety of particles. The researchers have found a way to use lasers to form walls that allow atoms and molecules to pass through in one direction, but do not allow them to return.
