HPV infections fell by half in teen girls after vaccine, study shows
Wed Jun 19, 2013
- Scott, encouraging sexual abstinence before marriage is a foolishly incomplete sexual health policy. I teach, encourage, exhort, and explain wise health choices to my patients on a daily basis, and yet they still eat the wrong things, under-exercise, fail to perform their testicular self-exams (have …
Italian court: Amanda Knox appeal ruling was full of 'illogical' conclusions
Wed Jun 19, 2013
- What are the Italians trying to prove with this sham? The only scenario that makes sense is that the man who has also been convicted of this crime would be declared "not guilty after all" and freed from prison. Obviously the US is not going to extradite Knox (for us, Double Jeopardy only exists on t …
Obesity is a disease, doctors' group says
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- In reply to: snakeoil241 #8 30% obese and another 30% overweight, and that's just using BMI which is based on weight- not the most accurate determinate. I read an article in which the authors made a case for using % of body fat instead of BMI- the authors speculated that doing so would inc …
Toll reaches 118 in hepatitis A outbreak tied to frozen berry mix
Tue Jun 18, 2013
- This is still news? I know that this is really unpleasant for the people who got sick (the hepatitis is linked to Turkish pomegranate seeds), but 118 cases of an illness that isn't life-threatening and is time limited (Hep A doesn't become chronic like Hep B and C do) doesn't seem all that news …
Rich are running out of mansions to buy
Thu Jun 13, 2013
- I find it interesting that a million$ home is the criteria many of these realtors are using. In my neck of the woods a million dollar home is considered a nice home in an upscale neighborhood, but hardly a mansion. And in some neighborhoods, a million dollar home is a knockdown.
87 now sick with hepatitis A linked to frozen berry mix
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- For smoothies, without waiting for the Farmer's Market on whatever day the market comes to your locale.
Sorry bud, I can't afford to be your best man
Tue Jun 11, 2013
- I love (and completely agree with the comments posted here (except David Taylor's- WTF?) but would love to hear from the $28,000 wedding gang to hear their justification for what really amounts to a stress-filled, very expensive "fantasy" party.
Miss. aims to curb teen pregnancy with umbilical blood law
Fri Jun 7, 2013
- I'm still trying to figure out how this measure is going to reduce teen pregnancy. Punishing nine months after the fact doesn't equate prevention. Is this really the best Mississippi can do?
Cleveland kidnapping suspect Ariel Castro charged with murder, hundreds of rape, assault counts
Fri Jun 7, 2013
- For those of you who are looking forward to Castro getting his "just desserts" in prison, my understanding is that high profile criminals (and convicted policemen) have separate quarters, isolated from the general populous. Prisons don't want to deal with the results of prisoners being (predictabl …
Buzzkill: Almost 40 percent of designated drivers drink
Mon Jun 10, 2013
- nurseinatx: in CA, a DUI conviction costs a nurse his or her nursing license. Sure serves as a DUI deterrent for me (but not necessarily a drinking deterrent as my post below (#28) indicates.)

I’m not sure. It would depend on the route, the traffic, and other circumstances.
- Five is too young to ride a bike anywhere without adult supervision. Having said that, I do think the price we pay to "safeguard" our kids is too high. Although I'm lucky enpugh to live in a very safe community with a year-round wonderful climate, the stack-up of moms in SUVs dropping off their kid …
