Beer is barley, hops, yeast and water. Beer is meant to be cold, refreshing and intoxicating. But beer is best if you know what you're drinking. Branching out from Natty Light and the Beast can be intimidating; holding a comforting can of Busch, swilling pitchers of Red Dog and requesting a Rolling Rock at a microbrewery is akin to having a martini straight up with an olive in a Dixie cup. (Especially if the Dixie cup has cartoon characters all over...
They offer six classic summer smoothies, including as the Tropical Treasure and the Cape Codder as well as five "Smoothies with a Purpose." A "purpose," in Wrap-speak, is a nutritional additive, such as ginkgo, lecithin, ginseng, protein vita-mix or nutritional yeast. Smoothies like the "Athlete's Advantage" and "Adam's Rocket Fuel" promise energy and hydration to thirsty customers...
...Belgian designer Martin Margiela seems intent on triggering acute nasal distress in those who view his latest creations. Margiela is unveiling a line of mold-covered garments Monday at the Brooklyn Anchorage gallery in New York City.

Ideal accessory: that fuzzy fruit in the back of the fridge...
...that he had a new, faster machine he wanted Venter to see. What Venter saw was the future: a gene-mapping computer 50 times as fast as anything running at TIGR. With one of these machines, the 1,000 scientists who had spent 10 years decoding a yeast genome could have completed their work in one day. Emboldened by the new technology, Venter announced his plans to sequence the human genome rapidly. He founded Celera with Perkin-Elmer and promised to publish results freely on a quarterly basis. From now on, Venter said, he was in the information business, selling...
There is lots of zip in DNA-based biology today. With each passing year it incorporates an ever increasing fraction of the life sciences, ranging from single-cell organisms, like bacteria and yeast, to the complexities of the human brain. All this wonderful biological frenzy was unimaginable when I first entered the world of genetics. In 1948, biology was an all too descriptive discipline near the bottom of science's totem pole, with physics at its top. By then Einstein's turn-of-the-century ideas about the interconversion of matter and energy had been transformed into the powers...
