Most cases of MRSA outside health-care settings are mild, appearing as red, swollen pustules on the skin, and can be controlled with antibiotics other than ones from the penicillin family. These cases are usually not the so-called invasive infections--those that enter the bloodstream and can damage tissues. Last month, however, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention released a report on invasive MRSA estimating that in 2005, there were 32 cases per 100,000 people in the U.S.--a troublingly high number--and that 14% of these occurred in people with no documented history...
...month researchers at Wake Forest University released the first large, independent study of injuries associated with Tasers, finding that they are relatively harmless and pose minimal risk of injury. In a review of nearly 1,000 cases, 99.7% of those subjected to a Taser had no injuries or only mild ones, such as scrapes and bruises.

Ruffalo is a very good goof-off, at once likable and infuriating, but eventually it is Phoenix who takes over the picture. He's playing a mild-mannered, doubtless liberal-minded college professor, who turns into an implacably vengeful monster as the police dither impotently with their investigation of his son's case. Even his shattered wife (Jennifer Connelly) attempts to move on - or perhaps we should say move back - to normalcy...
...Living meagerly out of his suitcase for four years, Bartlett decided to close his company in 2002 (citing both creative and financial reasons), before reopening in 2004 to mild reviews, and milder designs...
