Critics Say FDNY Prep Test is ‘Dumbed Down’
FDNY candidates will take an entry exam that quizzes them on topics like African killer bees and on math questions such as comparing veggie chips to pretzels, but little on firefighting. With the city planning to give the first FDNY entry exam in five years in 2017, critics say the test has been dumbed down since a judge ruled a former exam discriminated against minorities. A recently posted preparation manual asks aspiring Bravest to practice by watching videos produced by Lowe's hardware store on how to install a toilet, replace a sin k, and lay a tile floor. "It's great to prepare firemen for their second jobs a...

Three Women and a Mars Robot
Listen, it's good to be well-connected: e.g., I've got Martian buddies. They're my "go-to" people when life on Earth turns.... banal? They didn't pop over to catch The Martian and share popcorn with me, but we were together in spirit. Among my favorite Martians is Donna Shirley, who, btw, has an asteroid named after her. Ms. Shirley headed NASA Mars Exploration that put the first rover on the red planet on July 4, 1997. You might remember Donna from CNN broadcasts educating the world on Pathfinder's enchanting journey. She was the 'Mom' of its far-ranging rover that left earthlings agog as it bumped over the rocky surface....

The Muscle You've Never Heard of But Need to Know
By Leslie Goldman When it comes to a tight core, most people picture six-pack abs. But a truly toned core is much more than what you see on the surface. Deep within your loins, the psoas (pronounced SO-az) muscle group partners with other muscles to stabilize and girdle the lower spine, promoting proper body alignment. "It's our most important skeletal muscle," says Jo Ann Staugaard-Jones, an advanced Pilates and Hatha yoga instructor and author of The Vital Psoas Muscle: Connecting Physical, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being. "The psoas is the only muscle connecting the spine to the legs, so it serves as the sole link b...

Dry Brushing Is The Age-Old Trick Models Swear By For Smoother Skin
Miranda Kerr and Molly Sims have both gushed about the benefits of dry brushing, claiming that this traditional practice helps to slough away dead skin cells, improve circulation and lymphatic drainage, as well as reduce the appearance of cellulite.  Those are pretty lofty claims for a technique that's basically a cross between skin exfoliation and massage, according to Yoon-Soo Cindy Bae, an associate at the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York.  While Bae told us there is no clinical trial data that scientifically supports the benefits of dry brushing, we can see and feel the difference in our skin ...
