...though older drugs or generics would be just as effective. A Harvard model projects that every dollar spent on better information would yield $2 in drug savings. That's a big deal to cash-strapped states that pay a large chunk of Medicaid patients' drug costs. Thus SCORxE - South Carolina Offering Prescribing Excellence - a joint program between the state's Medicaid program and the South Carolina College of Pharmacy, which trains its pharmacist-reps to visit doctors' offices armed with unbiased studies...
...court that the chains, fur-lined manacles, rope, chloroform and wedding trousseau complete with "pink feathers and see-through nighties" were all props for the bondage sessions she planned for McKinnon. "We had such a fun time - just like old times," McKinney told the court in her native North Carolina drawl. "I love him so much that I would ski naked down Mount Everest with a carnation up my nose if he asked me to," she added.

Based on some intriguing preliminary studies in animals, J. Timothy Lightfoot, a kinesiologist, and his team at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, suggest that genetics may indeed predispose some of us to sloth. Using mice specially bred and selected according to their activity levels, Lightfoot identified 20 different genomic locations that work in tandem to influence their activity levels - specifically, how far the animals will run. Lightfoot's team is the first to identify these genetic areas and the first to figure out that they function in concert. The researchers say the areas they found on the mouse genome...
