Most Breast Cancer Web Pages Contain Reliable Information
But pages focused on complementary or alternative medicine are 15 times more likely to make misleading claims and contain other false information, a new study says. Moreover, standard measures of quality developed to assess the accuracy of Web pages don't really work, said the authors of the study, published in the March 15 issue of the journal Cancer. "There is no completely reliable Web site, but the bottom line is more information is always better. But consider the source and be cautious in interpreting what you read," said study senior author Dr. Funda Meric-Bernstam, associate professor of surgical oncology at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. "The good news is 95 percent of the information is correct," added Dr.
Benni McCarthy takes no prisoners as Sunderland are left fit to drop
A new year, but the same old story for Sunderland. Roy Keane’s team dropped into the Barclays Premier League relegation zone last night thanks to a combination of Wigan Athletic’s draw away to Liverpool and their inability to perform away from Wearside. A seventh successive defeat on the road means that Sunderland have taken only two away points all season and have yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. "It’s not nice, but I’ve said that the priority for us is not to be there come May," Keane said. "We had a chance to get further away from it tonight, and these opportunities keep slipping us by. Our home form is keeping us in touch." They could count themselves unlucky at Ewood Park, although a less charitable view would be that they shot themselves in the foot — twice.
DAYTONA NOTEBOOK: Earnhardt's Daytona legacy endures; '08 version of ...
To hear him on the radio ... to step out of the car and give me a great big bear hug ... if anyone deserved to win the Daytona 500, it was him." In 19 previous 500 starts, Earnhardt had been frustrated at Daytona, finishing second four times. In 1990, he led 155 of 200 laps, but lost with a mile left when he blew a tire. When he won in 1998, it was like a weight had been lifted from his shoulders. "Every time I think about that win, it gives me cold chills," said Childress. "It was so special -- it's like the sport needed it. Memories like that make it something I'll always cherish." Motorsports Authentics, through its Action Racing Collectables die-cast brand, will offer the 10th anniversary edition of the No. 3 GM Goodwrench Chevy Impala to fans.
Cutting emissions from vehicles will require many solutions
Denver Metro area residents and possibly all residents of Colorado will be facing some tough times in the near future as our air quality fell below federally acceptable levels too many times last summer and lawmakers are considering the adoption of California emissions restrictions on vehicles. Despite better quality fuels, the emissions inspection program, and ever improving emission control devices on vehicles, Denver's air quality has slipped. These restrictions, if imposed, will raise the cost of vehicles, reduce the number of vehicles available for purchase, and do nothing to encourage other options that could help reduce the ozone levels in the summer. What is the solution? Well that has to come from many sources and there are options that don't increase vehicle costs or reduce vehicle ownership choices.
about this blog
Flowers we like to grow should have names that please us and its a joy to find them honoring men and women who've excelled in the world of gardens. Weeds, on the other hand, should have names we loathe, so we can go about their destruction with more zest and vim. The process of weeding is more sanative if you name the pests after your own special enemies and pet abominations. Don't bother to learn whether your new intruder is pigweed or horse nettle. Just christen it in honor of some neighbor who you find difficult to 'love as thyself' and, while abolishing it, you also may vent your spleen." -- Julian Meade, Bouquets and Bitters, 1940.***** ***** *****Here's one of those lesser gardening moments: last evening, as I was tucking a few seedlings of white lobelia into this window box, it tried to re-enact the tale of the SS Poseidon, as it tumbled from its bracket and nearly capsized.
Board will learn lesson if the referendum fails
Their current plan is not very different from the similar plans announced for three previous referendums that failed.The board misrepresented the relative cost of large versus small schools by including land purchase in the small-school option while excluding the cost of land from the cost of the giant high school "because we already own it." When board members realized the community objected to double congestion at the existing high school site, they suddenly "found" money to pay a developer for the Dresser Road location. Their plan ignores a working high school that could easily be used as the first of four proposed small high schools with very little cost.The board continues to ignore the community value, and saving of bus costs, possible by moving to K-8 community schools with two classes of 25 at each grade level.
