- globeandmail.com: How to beat jet lag: Don't eat
  Posted by MikeS from Globe and Mail
  If you are enroute to or from somewhere give this a read before you have something to eat. With the increasing cost of fuel adding surcharges to airline tickets maybe we'll see an even better antidote to jet lag - keeping your feet planted firmly on the ground.

- globeandmail.com: Who's tracking your health? Paging Dr. Internet
  Posted by MikeS from Globe and Mail
  Canadians have a public health care system that they may not always like, but for the most part at least they trust it. Will they embrace the idea of Google Health ?

- Bush signs bill to prevent discrimination based on genetic testing
  Posted by MikeS from CBC
  The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act was signed into law today by President Bush. With genetic tests available over the internet at a price many people can afford, there has been a strong lobby for a law that will help safeguard how that information is being used. The law will make it illegal for employers or insurance companies to use genetic information as a basis for discrimination. The law was first put forward 10 years ago but faced stiff opposition. Many people see this as the law finally catching up with the technology.

- Conservatives Happier Than Liberals
  Posted by theangryindian from Live Science
  Regardless of marital status, income or church attendance, right-wing individuals reported greater life satisfaction and well-being than left-wingers, the new study found. Conservatives also scored highest on measures of rationalization, which gauge a person's tendency to justify, or explain away, inequalities.

Superfood or Monster From the Deep? | Gainesville.com | The Gainesville Sun | Gainesville, FL

Interesting to find out if the anchovies are a biproduct of some other product – maybe cheaper to reuse it rather than dispose of it and dupe the public into believeing it is for their benfit.

Deported in Coma, Saved Back in U.S.

I see no way this will ever be fixed as long as the world is driven by the desire to amass money.. I do not say this in any altruistic sense, just logic. This may be the best system we’ve got at the moment, but it is by no means a good one.
While I am by far (for the moment) much better off than these folks, I am by no means immune to perhaps having to choose between living and dying for myself and or a family member because of monetary constraints at some point.

Survey: Half of US doctors use placebo treatments

I am not surprise that doctors give patients placebo because most patients were not physically sick. Most are mentally sick because of their imagination and some wanted attention.
These doctors usually give these patients vitamin C or a multi-vitamin which will not worsen their condition. But will help they psychologically.
Great post. Keep them coming.

Eco-Friendly Sex Toys: Why Your Pink Parts Should Go Green

I consider myself a sex toy junkie, and have been using sex toys for the past 10 years. I can’t stress enough the importance of Eco-sex toys or so called Green Sex Toys. They are safe for you and the environment. Many sex toy manufacturers have completely switched into producing only sex toys that are phthalate-free, but I believe that everyone should impose on manufacturers and demand that sex toys are always "Green".
