...Burton wrote in an e-mail message that he had a section that conflicted unavoidably with FiCom meetings, and said his truancy should not affect his bid for the vice presidency...
...audience is overexposed to Bendrix, the opposite is true of Sarah. Even after a cumbersome transition section built around her voice-overs, the character is only hazily defined. Rather than attempting to tackle the book's complicated explanation of Sarah's take on her marriage and affair, Jordan chooses not to address the matter at all, leaving the viewer (and the woefully underutilized Moore) in the lurch...
...easy to see the group's objection to its typecasting--despite band masterminds Richard Fearless and Tim Holmes touring with two guitar players, a bassist, a drummer, a keyboardist and a two-man horn section, the band is invariably compared to groups like Chemical Brothers and Massive Attack. Still, the easiest explanation for the persistence of the electronica label is the lack of a regular vocalist. After all, how many rock bands can you name that don't have a singer? In keeping with this idea of unconventionality, the band somehow managed to play a sterling, albeit too-short...
...thought of giving birth is daunting enough without the prospect of major surgery. Well, expectant moms can take heart in recent research pointing toward an overall decline in use of the dreaded C-section. A federal study released Thursday found that the percent of C-sections fell from 22.8 percent in 1989 to 20.7 percent in 1996. That drop followed national concern that too many caesareans were being performed, especially for mothers giving birth again after an earlier C-section. However, there was a slight increase in the procedure in 1997 following research that found a risk to mothers delivering...
Also Thursday, the New England Journal of Medicine reported that the procedures aren't nearly as useful as previously thought in preventing certain forms of birth injury. The study cited in the Journal focused on the C-section's ability to prevent brain hemorrhaging during birth, sometimes caused when a baby is stuck in the mother's pelvis. While caesareans, which peaked at nearly 25 percent of births in the late '80s, were long held to be the best method for preventing such complications, the new research indicates that the procedure is no safer than nonsurgical alternatives, including...
