Anyone who has seen a doctor recently knows the major culprits of heart disease - high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, too little exercise. For years, physicians have been warning their patients about these risk factors for heart attack and stroke. But with the explosion of research on the genetic drivers of disease, a group of experts at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston wondered how these tried and true markers of heart problems would stack up against the predictive power of the latest genomic science...
...kind sold in camping-supply stores - filled with 2½ lb. of frozen carbon dioxide, which costs about $1 per lb. (and should be handled only with gloves). As the dry-ice pellets slowly evaporate, the open thermos spout lets the CO2 - which falsely signals bedbugs that a breathing, blood-filled meal is nearby - seep out overnight. That's usually enough time to entice the nocturnal insects into the other key component of the trap: the overturned food-and-water dish on which the thermos sits. The bugs climb the outer surface of the dish, which can be scuffed with sandpaper...
...there were other lapses in the way Wakefield recruited research participants: in one instance, he paid children about $8 apiece at his son's birthday party to give blood. The General Medical Council also concluded that Wakefield had unnecessarily carried out invasive procedures on some of the children in the 1998 study, including spinal taps and colonoscopies, without ethical approval...
...start for Benicio Del Toro as Wolfman, the picture will need long legs, here and abroad, to earn back its husky $125 budget. Only Sherlock Holmes ($204 million) and The Book of Eli (which will hit $100 million before it's finished) have capitalized on blood and fisticuffs. Indeed, depending on whether you count Avatar as a love story or a war epic (it's both), it's been three months since an unadulterated guy movie took the top spot: 2012, on the weekend of Nov. 13-15. Since then: New Moon, The Blind Side, The Princess and the Frog...
...while, Prius drivers in L.A. even got to park at meters without paying and drive in the carpool lane without a passenger. You don't get to drive in the carpool lane without a passenger the day you give blood. You could save every child in Haiti, and you would still have to feed the parking meter. And yet we could not thank Prius owners enough for their sacrifice in driving a really nice car that costs less to fill up. If Mel Gibson had been in a Prius, the cops would have set up a motorcade...
