The study of healthy young adults in Korea found that, compared with people who didn't  drink coffee , those who drank three to five cups of java per day had a lower risk of having calcium deposits in their coronary arteries, which is an indicator of  heart disease . (The coronary arteries are the vessels that bring oxygenated blood to the heart muscle itself.) The study participants who drank three to four cups had the lowest risk of developing clogged arteries seen in the study, said Dr. Eliseo Guallar, an epidemiologist at Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore, Maryland, and co-author of the study published today (March 2) in the journal Heart. "But the risk went down with jus...

What's the  average penis size ? The results are in, and they show it takes less to be well-endowed than you might think. The  average length of an erect penis  is 5.16 inches (13.12 centimeters) and the average circumference is 4.59 inches (11.66 centimeters), according to a new analysis of penis length studies involving more than 15,000 men around the world. As for a flaccid penis, the average length is 3.61 inches (9.16 centimeters) and the average circumference is 3.66 inches (9.31 centimeters). It looks like  Jonah Falcon  is an even bigger outlier than we realized... The British researchers behind the analysis say theirs is the  first systematic review of penis size measurements . "We wanted to be able to help men and their doctors with a definitive paper since there are many contradictory reports from small or poor quality studies," study co-author Dr. Gordon Muir, a urological surgeon at King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in Lon...

If the European Space Agency's Rosetta spacecraft was a groundhog, we would all be worrying about six more weeks of winter right now. As it is, it's always winter on Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The comet is frigid, coming in at -94 degrees Fahrenheit. The ESA released an image Tuesday of the comet-orbiting Rosetta leaving a fleeting mark on the comet: its shadow. The space agency describes it as being "encircled in a wreath of light." It was a rare confluence of circumstances that enabled the image to exist as the sun, spacecraft and comet all came into alignment.

The  ESA explains this by noting , "If you were standing on the surface with Rosetta high above you, there would be no place in the shadow where the entire Sun wo...

Bobby Brown is denying reports his family is involved in a new reality show related to Bobbi Kristina Brown’s coma crisis. “There is no Brown family reality show that is in production which chronicles Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina or the medical emergency she presently faces at Emory Hospital,” Bobby Brown’s lawyer Christopher Brown said in a statement to the Daily News.

NBC News is bringing in new leadership after several high-profile stumbles, according to a senior executive familiar with the situation. Andrew Lack, a former president of NBC News, is in advanced talks to take a senior role in the division, the person said, and Patricia Fili-Krushel, chairman of NBCUniversal News Group, is expected to step down and take a different position at NBCUniversal, a unit of  Comcast Corp. Meanwhile, Deborah Turness, the president of NBC News, is expected to remain in the division, although her role could change as well.

It was a night of serious fun filled with singing, dancing, laughter and also tears as some influential Hollywood stars gathered in New York on Monday night to celebrate the legacy of screen legend  Paul Newman  and his  SeriousFun  Children’s Network, a growing community of summer camps he created in 1988 to serve children with serious illnesses. “This is the best show of New York City tonight,”  David Letterman , who made a rare public appearance to honor his old pal, told the packed crowd at Lincoln Center’s Avery Fisher Hall. The late-night host went on to rave about Newman’s charismatic personality. “I’m lucky enough to have known Paul Newman for quite a few years,” Letterman said before showing a montage of Newman’s frequent visits to his CBS show. “He was so generous, and he would visit us on the show and never turned us down, regardless of his schedule. His presence made everybody feel better. He w...

I've been waiting on the Women Tell All Special since episode two. The personalities this season have been phenomenal. Obviously, I was most excited to watch Kelsey use big words to back track on her assertion that her husband's death was an amazing story, and for Carly and Britt to get awkward. It all happened, and it was great. I think the best thing about this episode was the screen shots, so I'll include those. 1. Chris starts asking the girls questions, and Jillian jumps in to scream at Carly that Britt is the most genuine person she knows. Why can't we get a black box over Jillian's mouth? Samantha and Trina decide to speak finally, better late than never, and both are actually quite sassy. 2. I'll say something nice first, it looks like Britt showered for this. Britt has mastered the art of a crying face, without water actually coming out of her eyes. Crying makes me uncomfortable, ergo Britt makes me uncomfortable. She's mostly concerned about...
