7 'Adhar 5766 * 7 March 2006: Anniversary of Mosheh's Death/Namesake Day

Greetings.

Today’s news:

• “TV may not cause kids' attention disorders: study” (I am not sure if this is correct, but this is a good demonstration of the epidemiologic principle that correlation is not same thing as causation. Just because A correlates with B does not mean that A causes B; in fact, B may cause A.)
  
• “Cutting Sugary Drinks at Home Helped Teens Shed Pounds - CME Teaching Brief”
  
• “DeLay Will Face Voters' Verdict This Week”
  “The Region: Sticks beat carrots”
  
• “Complexity causes 50% of product returns”

Today’s weird thing is “Warning! Financial responsibility can lead to terrorism”, which is sufficiently bizarre to make one wonder what Bush and company are thinking. Enjoy.
