...Heart disease and stroke remain the No. 1 and 3 killers of Americans, including women. Statin therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment regimen that includes lifestyle modification is highly effective for both men and women and is in part responsible for the recent 30% decline in deaths due to heart disease and stroke. It is correct that more women should be enrolled in clinical trials, side effects of any therapy are real, and not all persons receive the same degree of benefit from statins. But the benefit is real and far outweighs any risk. We would advise a discussion...
...last year, Motorola emerged as one of the largest shippers of smart phones. That's largely due to Droid, its newest offering for Verizon Wireless. Motorola has also made headway with Cliq, its T-Mobile phone, and early in March it launched BackFlip, the first Android phone for AT&T.

Four days after arriving at Dover, Ricketts' body was flown to Corinth, Miss. He had grown up in nearby Glen (pop. 300).

"I hope I get a visa," Kaczynski had joked when announcing the visit. As part of the ceremony, he was due to receive an urn of soil from the forests were the thousands of Polish officers had been executed with a bullet to the base...
...death of Kaczynski, who with his brother was a dominant force in Polish politics, brings political uncertainty. A presidential election had been due in October but now must be held within two months, according to the constitution. Kaczynski was widely expected to seek another five-year term as president. Opinion polls had suggested he would lose to Tusk's centrist candidate, Bronislaw Komorowski (who, as speaker of the lower house of parliament, will take over the president's duties in the interim, under the terms of Poland's constitution). But Saturday's tragedy may have changed the political picture...
