Boost Your Brainpower With Green Tea
By Jon Herring
Green tea is one of the oldest - and healthiest - beverages in the world. A recent study of more than 1,000 people in Japan showed that the more green tea the subjects drank the lower their odds were of having cognitive impairment.
In addition to boosting your brainpower, green tea is brimming with nutrients that have been shown to fight viruses, slow aging, and protect against cancer and heart disease. Its most powerful antioxidant, EGCG, has been shown to be significantly more potent than vitamin C, vitamin E, and resveratrol (the healthy compound found in red wine).
While most people drink it hot, green tea is also a refreshing summer treat. Try it over ice with a wedge of lemon.

You Need More Than a Big Income
By Michael Masterson
It's amazing how many young people (and lots of older people) equate making mucho dinero with being rich. But you need more than a big income.
A good example: the cable show Entourage . In Entourage , the main character is a fictionalized version of Mark Walberg after he became famous as a Hollywood actor. Mark's character and his friends spend all their time and money buying toys and chasing girls, while their accountant sits in his office and screams at them.
The entourage is hell bent on spending every cent of the multimillion-dollar income their buddy is earning. And that makes them feel rich. The truth is, they are just as broke as they were when they were living in Brooklyn . The only difference is that they are spending more.
To be rich, you need lots of money in the bank. A big income can give you a great lifestyle, but if you are spending it as fast as you are making it (like the entourage), when you stop working or a financial emergency arises, you'll very quickly find out how un-rich you really are.
If you want to become wealthy - in terms of having lots of money put away for a rainy day ... or money to spend after you stop working for it - you are going to have to learn how to save and invest a significant portion of your income.
But here's the good news for those of you who are just starting on a career. The best time for you to start saving money is now. If you get yourself into the habit of doing so, you'll be rich before you know it.

Word to the Wise: Bombinate
To "bombinate" (BOM-buh-nate) is to buzz or hum.
Example (as used by Cheryl Glenn and Robert J. Connors in New St. Martins Guide to Teaching Writing) : "Sometimes the computer bombinates into the night, stops for a bit of rest, then resumes its hum at the early hours of the morning."
