Most alarming of all, the rates of obesity among children and teens have tripled in the past 25 years. Health-care providers say they are seeing something of an epidemic of potentially lethal Type 2 diabetes, once known as the adult-onset version of the disease, among children as young as 10 and 11. "Without some intervention, this is the first generation of young Americans, being born today, who are expected to have a shorter life span than their parents or grandparents," says Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, who wrote a book about his 110-lb. weight loss...

Both ships were also wisely mounted at the top of the booster that lifted them off the ground--keeping them away from the fire and foam that killed Challenger and Columbia...
...late February, South Dakota passed a bill in both houses of legislature defying Roe v. Wade. The bill bans all abortions, except in cases where the abortion would save the mother’s life. It does not make any exceptions for cases of rape, incest, or non-lethal maternal health concerns. Doctors who perform abortions in the state could be fined $5,000 and sentenced to five years in prison. The bill now awaits ratification by Republican governor Mike Rounds, who is expected to sign it. If the bill becomes law the Supreme Court would likely hear the case...
