The Best Bathroom Scales

Image
Bathroom scales need to do one thing: Give you a weight measurement you can trust. After more than six months of researching and stepping on and off a dozen scales (a total of 35 hours and more than 550 weigh-ins), we found the  EatSmart Precision CalPal  to be the most accurate and precise basic digital bathroom scale with one of the easiest to read displays. If you’d like your scale to sync with your smartphone and estimate your body-fat percentage as well, the  Withings Body  is the best smart scale available today, with the best smartphone connectivity experience for both iOS and Android. Both the  EatSmart  and the Withings have a comfortable, wide platform and are attractive enough to leave out on your bathroom floor. Most important, both bathroom scales detect changes in weight of a few tenths of a pound, whereas most of the other scales will only respond reliably to a weight change on the order of half a pound, or will even pull your weight readings...

Unbeaten Knockout Machine Paulo Borrachinha Carries Hopes of Brazil's UFC Future

Image
Paulo Borrachinha has had plenty of reason to smile in his MMA career, going 9-0 with 9 stoppage wins. Buda Mendes/Zuffa LLC/Getty Images Every time that Paulo "Borrachinha" Henrique Costa has stepped in the cage, he has decimated an opponent. The middleweight has done it any number of ways. The maulings have come via head kick, ground-and-pound, right cross, left hook, combination barrage and the kitchen sink. They've come in small regional promotions and followed him into the UFC. And they've all come in a single round or less. In nine fights, Costa, who professionally goes by Borrachinha, has never had to fight more than five minutes. His shortest outing was just 32 seconds, and in his UFC debut just less than three months ago, he needed just 77 ticks of the clock to pummel Garreth McLellan into an early evening.  For his 10th fight, he's been anointed. The UFC has placed him on the main card of this Saturday's UFC 212, where he'll take on Oluwale Bamgb...

What Is Coal's Future?

On the face of it, coal is under fire from all sides. Subsidies for the world's dirtiest fuel are being phased out by rich nations. Local governments are also on a warpath against the commodity. For example, the mayor of New York City is trying to convince the city's pension funds to divest their coal holdings, which amount to about $33 million. Global demand is also slowing down. The Energy and Information Administration projects lower domestic coal consumption and exports because of the entry of other, major coal producers from the developing world. The Environmental Protection Agency is also cracking down on the industry with regulations, such as the Mercury and Air Toxics Standard (MATS), which has resulted in the closure of a number of coal-fired plants. Natural gas is increasingly replacing coal as the fuel of choice for electricity. According to EIA forecasts, the share of natural gas in generating electricity is forecast to increase to 30% from 27%. And yet things are n...
