New York City Democrats are so uninspired by their mayoral candidates they would overwhelmingly vote for former president Bill Clinton if he decided to run, according to a poll published today.
The New York Daily News/CBS Channel 2 poll was the second in two weeks showing about half of New Yorkers would like to see Clinton run for mayor in November, even though the Arkansas native has indicated he does not want the job of running one of the world's biggest cities. Clinton, who returned to private life amid outrage over last-minute pardons and the embarrassing return of gifts meant for the White House, would win 40

Another poorly chosen outfit was donned by the French actress Juliette Binoche. Normally Binoche looks ravishing in sexy evening wear, but this time we weren't so lucky. Her choice for the Oscars was a black Gautier flapper ensemble, complete with studded boots, a beret, and strands of pearls. Seeing her brought an old song to mind: "Things That Make You Go Hmmm." Of course, one cannot talk fashion without mentioning Jennifer Lopez. Not to worry, she was there with new boyfriend, dancer Chris Judd. J.Lo went for elegance with a gray Chanel gown. It was satin at the bottom, but, oh yes, don't let us neglect to mention the Tarzan-style top was a much lighter fabric … so light, in fact, it was see-through. For certain, Lopez's choice for Oscar night was far better than her garb from Grammy days gone by, but it is clear her taste is still lacking — most notably, undergarments!

Although more than 95 percent of power in the United States is derived from conventional sources like coal, oil and gas, researchers have long explored ways to pluck energy from new sources, such as the sun, wind, plants, animal waste, gas produced by decay at the ocean's bottom and even just plain water. While the research is not entirely new, interest in the technology has been renewed. Big Interest, Uncertain FundingManufacturers of corn stoves report their products have been "flying out the door." Windmill power has flourished with 3,500 megawatts worth of power production equipment built just last year. And recent polls suggest Americans are warming up to nuclear energy, a resource shunned in recent years for its volatility and nuclear waste problems.

international consultant for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "And you make a ton of money." Does Advertising Work?Though some studies conclude that advertising can lead non-smokers to pick up the habit, whether or not advertising can convince non-smokers to begin smoking is a subject of great debate. One statistic from the National Health Interview Survey showed that in the wake of the Virginia Slims' "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" campaign that was launched in 1967, smoking initiation among female adolescents nearly doubled to 6.2 percent by 1972. Targeting Tobacco to Women"To say that advertising has no affect on consumption defies any common sense," argues Tobacco-Free Kids' Hammond. "Why does Philip Morris advertise their food products?

This could be the last opportunity for watching an impressive meteor storm in a dark sky for decades to come," said Donald Yeomans, head of NASA's Near Earth Object program office at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.Next year's Leonids could have been impressive, but they're scheduled to occur during a full moon, which will obscure their brilliance.Some Predict More Modest ShowAlthough Yeomans, Jenniskens and other astronomers agree this year's Leonids show looks to be spectacular, other predictions are less grand.For example, Robert Cooke of NASA Ames' Research Center believes the meteor shower will provide an average display of about one every 10 seconds in the United States."It's sort of like talking to weathermen," said Cooke, who is now in Hawaii, since his calculations show the best display will appear above that state. "You get a different answer from each one."

A study found that people who sleep less tend to be fat, and experts said it's time find if more sleep will fight obesity. "We've put so much emphasis on diet and exercise that we've failed to recognize the value of good sleep," said Fred Turek, an American physician at Northwestern University. The study covered 1,000 people and found that total sleep time decreased as body mass index increased. Men slept an average of 27 minutes less than women and overweight and obese patients slept less than patients with normal weights, it said. In general the fatter subjects slept about 1.8 hours a week less than those with normal weights. Obesity has been rising dramatically in developed countries and reached epidemic levels in the United States, it added, leading to a variety of health.
