...provides enough evidence of the effectiveness of an ECG to override the AHA's concerns. Analyzing data from 42,000 athletes in the northeastern Veneto region of the country from 1979 to 2004, Italian researchers found that ECG screening resulted in an almost 90% drop in sudden cardiac deaths. Incidence of SCD among the unscreened nonathletic population did not change significantly during that time. (Read "The Death of an All-Star...
...wondering whether there was something wrong with their hearts. What's more, some cardiologists believe that physical examinations can be equally effective in uncovering heart defects in athletes. A non-ECG screening of high school and college athletes in the U.S. from 1983 to 1993 resulted in an annual death rate as low as in the Italian ECG screening program - although some cardiologists have disputed the methodology of the study that examined the U.S. screening program.

(Death of Auto-Tune).” Throwing down the gauntlet to a burgeoning generation of indistinguishably mechanized MCs, Jay holds no punches, rattling off a list of rap game faux pas: “You boys’ jeans too tight / your colors too bright / your voice too light...
...there ever was a Black political machine, it was headed by Maynard Jackson, who was elected as mayor at age 35 in 1973, served consecutive terms and a single term in the 1990s. He endorsed every winning candidate before his death in 2003. Now the "Jackson machine" is largely history, Atlanta political insiders tell TIME, its membership dispersed since Jackson left office...
...panels that Obama has proposed to evaluate Medicare-reimbursement rates would effectively be able to shift treatment patterns, though their recommendations would have to be justified by science and could be overturned by votes of Congress. It is clearly a distortion to call these groups "death panels," as some critics like Sarah Palin have. As it now stands, Congress sets reimbursement rates, while private insurers routinely decide what potentially lifesaving treatments are worth paying for, and no one calls either death panels. But it is also legitimate to question the makeup and restrictions on these government panels...
