...report was really candid. It's an astonishing litany of indifference and ineptitude" that occurred over a long period of time, Bernfeld says. "And this should be helpful in getting past the sovereign-immunity defense because it makes clear that this was not simply a decision not to investigate - it was a series of investigations undertaken but negligently performed...
...more detailed information about avoiding pregnancy and disease. The goal is simple: with contraception often not an option in many parts of the world - and vaccines to prevent diseases like AIDS still unavailable - UNESCO hopes that teaching children more about the risks of sexual activity will help them steer clear of such perils.

Take his often repeated criticism of the public option: Obama expected it to come up during a private meeting with Grassley last spring and was prepared to explore a compromise, according to a source who is familiar with what happened. Instead, Grassley failed to even mention it, leaving it to Obama to bring up the matter - and his top aides to wonder what Grassley's real agenda...
