From the NY Times:
IT is one of the driest, slyest ironies of the Peacock Revolution of the last decade. As men have turned themselves out in dandified splendor, they have all but neglected the signature aspect of the peacock’s glory.

Can You Regrow Your Teeth? Bad Effects of Mouthwash

Hey look, scientists have found a way for people to grow some new teeth? Seriously? As in, is that for real? Well, it may take some time before it happens but if the scientists succeed, we would all be saying goodbye to them dentures?

At this point, the scientists have identified the gene – a “transcription factor” called Ctip2 – which makes you, me and our cousin Joe produce tooth enamel. Further studies in the future will tell us whether we can actually regrow the teeth we’ve lost to the tooth fairy.

From Daily Mail:
Experiments in mice have previously shown that the gene, a ‘transcription factor’ called Ctip2, is involved in the immune system and in the development of skin and nerves. The latest research, from Oregon State University in the U.S., adds enamel production to the list.
…
Researcher Dr Chrissa Kioussi said: “It’s not unusual for a gene to have multiple functions, but before this we didn’t know what regulated the production of tooth enamel.

HIV in Sports: Mutampuka vs. Limond Canceled Due to HIV Fears

Is there a rule that one can’t fight in the boxing ring if one tests positive for HIV? Apparently there is. Why else would they cancel the showdown between Godwin Mutampuka and Willie Limond?

If a boxer tests positive for HIV, should that fact be broadcast for the whole world to know? In the case of Zambian boxer Godwin Mutampuka, someone leaked the information because the word is out. If we were him, we would sue whoever leaked the information. But then again, maybe the practice is allowed in boxing. What do we know?

From the Scottish Sun: WILLIE LIMOND’S world title fight with Godwin Mutampuka was called off yesterday — amidst fears the Zambian has tested positive for HIV.

The WBU lightweight showdown, scheduled for this evening at Paisley’s Lagoon Leisure Centre, had to be scrapped after Mutampuka failed a routine British Boxing Board of Control medical ahead of the clash with Glasgow scrapper Limond.

Jerry Seinfeld is back. But, he’s not really back. Well he’s back doing television work but not in front of the camera.

Welcome back Jerry! We’re not sure though whether we like the concept of your “The Marriage Ref” reality show. Couples squabbling on camera? Don’t we have a lot of that stuff already: Paula vs Simon, Paula vs. Kara, Simon vs. Ryan, Survivor Castaway 1 vs. Survivor Castaway 2, Femi vs. Chris in Bromance, Tyra’s guests on her show, Amazing Race teammates, Sharon Osbourne vs. anyone, and many many other reality show squabbles.

But hey, maybe Jerry will have something new to show us. We look forward to it.

CNN Lists the World’s Most Powerful Women in Business

CNN has compiled a list of the “world’s” most powerful women in business. We put “world” in quotes because when CNN says “world” they actually mean “American” [and maybe some of western Europe].

So are these really the most powerful women in business? Well, in the western-centric view of CNN, they are. Oh, don’t say, “But Indra Nooyi is Indian” to defend CNN’s western-centrism.
