| Boiling water in bottles quickens release of bisphenol A: study
To conduct the study, published in Wednesday's issue of the journal Toxicology Letters, the U.S. researchers measured amounts of BPA that escaped from one- to nine-year-old plastic bottles collected from participants at a local climbing gym. Mountain Equipment Co-op announced in December it was removing products containing bisphenol A from its stores because of health concerns.(CBC) The bottles had been filled with room-temperature water and left for seven days. The experiment was also conducted with never-used bottles made by the same manufacturer. "We just took that water, incubated it and at different times during the seven days we collected samples and then the sample at the end of the incubation period and compared the amount in new versus used," he said.
USC guard shows serious dedication
You can say this about Red he was very loyal to under paid players. Plus the did it in the same place. How incredibly more difficult was it for Phil to do it in two different towns with no control over money and/or roosters. It's no contest! Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with Phil.
Best regards,
— Jim, Andover, Mass. In my opinion, Red is the better coach for precisely the reasons you favor Wooden. It is true that Wooden had to deal with college students and making them the best. But college students pick the school, and when Wooden was winning his titles, the best in the country wanted to play for him. With professionals, they can be lured away with money. In addition, given most, if not all contracts in the NBA when Red was coaching were one year, it became more important to keep the players happy.
LAPD Defends Huge Police Presence That Took Britney Spears to Hospital
She was driving around her neighborhood like a madwoman," a Spears family source told People magazine. "Britney has been prescribed medication which she refuses to take. This is just another sad, sad evening." Earlier Thursday, Internet rumors claimed that the singer had attempted suicide, but those were refuted by the family. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that an L.A. County Superior Court judge signed a "5150" order — meaning Spears is a danger to herself and others — forcing her to be held for 72 hours. But Allan Parachini, spokesman for the L.A. County Superior Court, told FOXNews.com that as far as the court knows, no order was signed, and it is actually not necessary for a judge to sign a 5150. Law enforcement sources told TMZ there is a "good possibility" the 5150 will be extended to 14 days.
