Conventional wisdom says they're a pain. In reality, they are doing you a huge favor.

Researchers at the University of Scranton in Pennsylvania reported Sunday that popcorn has more antioxidant substances called polyphenols than fruits and vegetables.

Universities give you more than someone to cheer for. They can have a major impact on your bottom line. It’s that rare time of year when we indulge in an long lunch or keep an extra browser open so we can watch the game.

Sea mammals, spotted hyenas and other carnivores have all shed a working copy of a gene that encodes a `taste receptor' that senses sugars, finds a study published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences . An animal with a diet devoid of vegetables may have little need to detect sugars, says Gary Beauchamp, director of the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the lead author of the study.

By definition, “craft” is an art or occupation requiring special skill and, if my taste buds have any say in the matter, the craft beer industry exemplifies the word. The Boston Beer Company founder and chairman Jim Koch was a key pioneer of the craft beer movement; in April 1985, he debuted his Samuel Adams Boston Lager in about 25 bars and restaurants in Boston.

And while those electrical advances continue to race ahead, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania are pushing circuitry forward in a different way, by replacing electricity with light.
