		<title>THE DANGER OF MIND CONTROL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Can the human mind be controlled? Analysts believe that manipulation of the mind is possible. The primary questions arise over which techniques truly work, and whether there are consistent mechanical or psychological controls.
The British manipulation artist Derren Brown, convinced a London Cabbie that he didn&#8217;t know where the London Eye was, one of the most [...]]]></description>

		<title>A WORD IN YOUR EAR</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Thanks to American Technology Corp. you might happen to be the only one in the crowd hearing the sound of a soda can opening and the fizz from the ice-filled glass it&#8217;s being poured into. ATC’s HyperSonic Sound projectors have the marketing world abuzz. http://www.forbes.com/global/2003/0915/108.html

		<title>AN EMP FOR YOUR THOUGHTS?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
It wasn&#8217;t long ago that our understanding of neuroscience was limited to prodding a man’s exposed brain with a low power electrode to draw forth memories and cause muscle movements. Today, scientists have refined this particular treatment by using a technique known as Deep Brain Stimulation, or D.B.S. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1214939,00.html
Deep Brain Stimulation is achieved by inserting [...]]]></description>

		<title>FEED MY FRANKENSTEIN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The industrial food market has grown rapidly over the past 100 years. Today our country produces a wide variety of factory-processed meats, sauces, vegetables and fluids.  Cloning cattle is widely considered a moral way of prolonging quality beef stock and vegetables are regularly genetically married to create more insect resistant and durable strains.
Advances in [...]]]></description>

		<title>TAPPED OUT TAP WATER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
Water flows in a cycle from rivers into the ocean where it evaporates into the sky and falls as rain and snow to supply our rivers.
Following decades of poorly enforced or non-existent regulations on water pollution our water supply is full of chemicals and waste from factories, businesses and homes. Our water processing plants [...]]]></description>

		<title>PESTICIDAL MANIACS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
In the 1930s, scientists developed synthetic organic chemicals to combat farm pests. (‘Synthetic’ here means made by humans – not naturally occurring, while ‘organic’ means containing carbon, not the popular use as in “organic farming”.)  DDT, known as “Deet,” a widely used insect repellant, was scientist Paul Muller’s Nobel Prize winning discovery.
A decade later, [...]]]></description>

		<title>BUILDING A BETTER BACTERIUM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
The chemicals in vaccines attack and destroy germs and combat disease however they aren&#8217;t always 100% effective. In some cases, germs remain in the body and create new strains of the original disease which at times prove fatal. In an age where vaccination and medical treatment has all but wiped out previously incurable diseases like [...]]]></description>

		<title>SILENT KILLER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What did Jason Collier, Reggie Lewis, and Damien Nash all have in common? While all were professional athletes, they also each suffered from variations of the heart disorder known as “silent heart disease,” a condition frequently diagnosed in young athletes that commonly results in death.
In the early nineties, when Silent Heart Disease struck Hank Gathers [...]]]></description>

		<title>VIRAL OR VIRILE?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Viruses, like parasites, live off the materials of other organisms. Without a host, a virus can’t reproduce. Similarly, bacteria require their host to behave in a specific way to be passed along to new victims, typically in the form of sneezes, heavy sweating, or diarrhea.
One clever parasite, toxoplasma gondii , studied in the Czech Republic [...]]]></description>

		<title>WEAPONS OF MASS EXTINCTION</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Colony Collapse Disorder, or CCD, began sweeping across the United States in mid-2007 and millions of beehives across the country seemingly disappeared overnight. Studies suggest that the bees failed to return to their hives and presumably died in the wilderness, the reason for their disappearance continued to mystify scientists. http://www.ars.usda.gov/News/docs.htm?docid=15572 
Theories ranged from attacks by [...]]]></description>
