| Green plants reduce city street pollution up to eight times more than previously believed Posted: 18 Jul 2012 11:39 AM PDT Trees, bushes and other greenery growing in the concrete-and-glass canyons of cities can reduce levels of two of the most worrisome air pollutants by eight times more than previously believed, a new study has found.  |
| Five-second rule has plenty of bugs, says expert Posted: 18 Jul 2012 11:36 AM PDT Dropped grill items, ice cream cones that topple, pacifiers that fit the floor -- most of us have employed the five-second rule at some point to salvage a lost item. An infection disease expert takes five on the five-second rule.  |
| Actions don't always speak louder than words, at least, not when it comes to forgiveness Posted: 18 Jul 2012 06:05 AM PDT People are more likely to show forgiving behavior if they receive restitution, but they are more prone to report they have forgiven if they get an apology, according to new research.  |

These included: mathematicians, physicists, computer scientists; artists; photographers and photo processors; food service workers; landscapers and groundsmen; hairdressers and make-up artists; office and admin support workers; office and admin support workers; sawmill operatives; those working with petrol and gas; those working in chemical industries; printers; those operating cranes and diggers; and drivers.  |
| Sugar-sweetened drinks are not replacing milk in kid's diets Posted: 18 Jul 2012 04:38 AM PDT National data indicate that milk consumption has declined among children while consumption of sweetened beverages of low nutritional quality has more than doubled. Although this suggests that sugar-sweetened beverages may have replaced more nutritious drinks in children's diets, a new study suggests that in fact changes in children's milk consumption are not significantly related to changes in their consumption of sodas and flavored fruit drinks over time.  |
