Hmmm, it worked for me when I got the message :(

Oh well, it's a similar but not the same article.

What really got my eye is that it's on the front page of the paper touting a
causal link, when in fact they provide zero data for a causal relationship. In
the body of the article they try to convince you that it is causal even if the
data are only correlational. We've just been talking about this in research
methods so the timing was perfect for me.

I hope this link works for everyone. A great piece for research
methods class. This was on the front page of the Sunday San Diego
Union Tribune. You may have to paste the whole thing in two batches
into the address line.

Doesn't work for me, and its archives won't cooperate. But is this
the same article, as reprinted in the Las Vegas Sun?

And the article doesn't work for me either. Do you think they can say
"randomized control study"?

But around these parts up here,  we don't say soda. I think you must
be referring to what we call "soft drinks" or, for some reason I
don't understand, my own family idiosyncratically taught me to call
"ginger ale", although it isn't. "Pop" isn't in my vocabulary either.
