...what's to ogle at Oodle? Unlike Craigslist or Kijiji, this site automatically displays a Google map next to each listing so you can easily pinpoint its location. Oodle also shows you how the price of, say, a scooter you are browsing compares with the average price of scooters listed on the site over the past few months. All listings are free, but sellers can pay a few bucks to get more prominent placement of their ad in search results. Buyers can also get mobile alerts when a listing that meets your criteria pops up on the site...
...Even if the FDA can pinpoint the source of the outbreak, it's hard for consumers to know where their tomatoes are grown. Certain imported foods are required to carry country-of-origin labels, but that doesn't apply to domestic produce. "I'm not aware of any tomato outbreak that was not domestic," says Acheson. There is no such thing as a mandatory state-of-origin label for food, and federal authorities have yet to create such a law. "Saying 'product of the U.S.' isn't necessarily going to confer safety," he says. So much for reassurance...
...Wrong. Cleveland runs a junior high school offense - give it to LeBron and get out of the way. The Lakers, on the other hand, run the "triangle" set, which relies on pinpoint spacing and smart cuts to the basket to create openings for Kobe's supporting cast.

Part of his newfound generosity is due to the fact that he now has All-Star-quality teammates in Pau Gasol...

From March 30 to April 8, the Crimson went 1-7 in Ivy League play and essentially eliminated itself from title contention. “That was the low point of the season,” senior ace Shawn Haviland said. “That put us out of it pretty early.”The slump came right at the start of the Ancient Eight schedule, so by the time Harvard found its stride late in the year, there was no time left for a comeback...
What's a healthy year of life worth? According to a study by Stanford and University of Pennsylvania researchers, about $129,000. Using Medicare records on treatment costs for kidney dialysis as a benchmark, the authors tried to pinpoint the threshold beyond which ensuring another "quality" year of life was no longer financially worthwhile. The study comes amid debate over whether Medicare should start rationing health care on a cost-effectiveness basis, as many other nations do. While the Stanford figure may seem low, it's actually an upward revision. The number most cost-benefit analyses use to determine whether...
