Pity Fox News, for they know not what they do. After a successful pilot in mid-February, Fox News launched its weekly news satire “The ½ Hour News Hour” this month. Witnessing the birth of the new show is like nothing more than observing the evolution of the old “liberal new bias” battle cry into the newly-minted hypothesis that a liberal bias exists in fake news. If there was doubt that the show was created to overturn this perceived liberal bias in news-based humor, the first promotional...
...survival may actually be harmful to babies born to diabetic women, according to a recent study released by a Harvard Medical School (HMS) affiliate. Past research has found that diabetic women are two to five times more likely than women with normal blood sugar levels to have babies with birth defects. In the recent study, which was conducted on mice, HMS associate professor Mary R. Loeken and her colleagues at the Joslin Diabetes Center identified the expression of the glucose transporter Glut2 early in embryonic development as a factor in this disparity. However, because Glut2 is necessary for the health...
...ending--it's a lifestyle, a pathway to fulfillment that could take them anywhere, like career bees going from flower to flower. Robert Norton, 37, has always buzzed from job to job to make a living.

He has guided Japanese tourists in Hawaii, sold chocolate in Jamaica, exported sea urchins from Maine, managed real estate in New York City and translated for the Mets...
...measures 2 inches by 2 inches and is about a quarter-inch thick. Usually made of latex or occasionally polyurethane, the modern condom can stretch to 800 percent its normal size, if necessary—both a prophylactic and a practical joke waiting to happen. As a method of birth control, it boasts a 98 percent success rate, and when used to protect against STDs, one incurs less than a quarter of the risk one might incur through unprotected sex. As prophylactics go, condoms are pretty solid, not as foolproof as abstinence, but a far sight safer than nothing...
...Vilsack used to say he lived the American dream. Given up for adoption at birth, Vilsack later went on to become governor of Iowa—and most recently a presidential candidate. Yet his dream ended in the same way that so many American Dreams tragically end: He didn’t have the money. Or, more precisely, he had $1.17 million some 22 or so months before the actual election but dropped out due to financial reasons. “It is money—and only money—the reason we are leaving today...
