...BABE MAGNET Next time you head to the beach, you might tote along this cool-looking boom box. The $200 ZS-X7 from Sony is not only splash resistant, it also comes with a handy shoulder strap and a sturdy stand to keep it from tipping over in the sand. Antiskip technology is built into the CD player, a car and a boat adapter are included, and an all-black model is also available. With any luck, and with the volume up, it will get enough curious stares to help you break the ice with at least one hot beach...

Venture capitalists showered you with cash, and Wall Street snapped up your stock at five or 10 times the offering price--sometimes all in the same day--in the hope that you would soon become the next Intel or Microsoft.

But does the film, written by Susannah Grant, have to be both heckling and truckling? Everyone in it has one job: to endure Erin's ballsy superiority. Real actresses, like Cherry Jones, Marg Helgenberger and Veanne...
...MAGNETIC CHARGE Though testimonials abound about the power of magnets to relieve pain, a small pilot study suggests that they may not relieve anything but your wallet. Patients wore either a real magnet or a fake--neither the subjects nor the researchers knew which--every other day for six hours. After a week, there was no statistically significant difference in pain or range of motion between the two groups. But don't demagnetize yet. Longer and larger studies are still needed...
