Drug-resistant staph deaths surpass AIDS in the United States
Wednesday, October 17, 2007 Methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), a drug-resistant strain of bacteria, killed nearly 19,000 Americans in 2005 alone, according to a new study in the Journal of the American Medical Association. That is more people than were killed by AIDS in the United States. More than 94,000 Americans were afflicted with MRSA infections in 2005. Although the supergerm, or superbug, is primarily found in hospitals, a growing number of cases have been contracted at public gyms and schools. In Moneta, Virginia, a high school senior died from an infection that spread to his kidney, liver, lungs and heart. In Bedford County, where Moneta is located, school officials have reported five cases of the Methicillin-resistant strain of the Staph bacteria. County officials closed the schools to clean them. “Certainly, MRSA now has to be viewed as a very important target for prevention and control,” said Dr. David A. Talan,…

The demonstration escalated to a “flash mob” of between 10,000 to 15,000 communicating via online tools like email, micro-blogging tool Twitter, and social-networking website Facebook. “We sent messages on Twitter but didn’t expect 15,000 people to join in.

The rioters threw stones at the riot police and took control of the parliament building and presidential office. A bonfire was built out of…
Italian MP starts thirst and hunger strike to protest Saddam execution
Thursday, December 28, 2006 Marco Pannella, a member of the European Parliament (MP) and leader of the Nonviolent Radical Party, started a thirst and hunger strike to protest the death sentence against former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. “The Iraqi government would commit a horrible act, of the same level as those committed by Saddam Hussein himself,” Pannella said yesterday in a statement on the party’s Web site. Granting clemency to the former Iraqi leader would be “an extraordinary occasion, to make literally explode in the hearth of the Middle East and in the world, an immense act of peace and a debate among the peoples and consciences, the scandal of nonviolence as an alternative to dictatorships and to the war; a war that now, more than ever, is impending on humanity”. “In 2003”, he said, “despite the vote by a large majority of the Italian Parliament calling for the exile…

Lance Armstrong disputes French doping results
Saturday, August 27, 2005 Accused of EPO doping by the French cycling daily L’Équipe in a four page story on Aug. 23, cyclist Lance Armstrong appeared on CNN’s Larry King Live TV show Aug. 25, saying he did not trust the French testers or the French testing system, and that his urine was manipulated to falsely accuse him of doping. Dr. Christiane Ayotte, director of a Montreal doping detection laboratory said that ethically critical and important scientific questions were raised by the EPO doping allegation against seven-time Tour de France winner Armstrong.

How Your Health Can Benefit From Cross Country Skiing
More On This Topic: Rockhampton Sheds Builder By Morgan F Turley Cross country skiing lacks the speed of downhill skiing but makes up for itself with its wealth of aerobic benefits. Cross country skiers use muscles in their shoulders, chest, back, buttocks, legs, and abdomen and for those just starting out, all of these muscles will definitely be sore the day after the first excursion out on cross country skis.
