...perils of acetaminophen can be particularly acute for two groups: drinkers - whose livers may already be working overtime - and kids. Unlike doses for adults, those for children tend to be very precise, right down to the milligram, which means even a single, small overdose is something to be avoided. Even more confounding is the counterintuitive way in which the formulation of a drug for infants can differ from that for an older child: the infant's version can actually be stronger since it is often administered in tiny amounts with a medicine dropper.

They're not actually all that different from one another.

Today, the trappings of a beach resort are mixed in with that Old World charm. Imagine Bavaria by the sea. There's even an Oktoberfest...
Denmark's small Somali community, which numbers about 16,000, has struggled for years to integrate more fully into a society that has grown more antagonistic toward immigrants like them. Then came the news that a man with an ax and knife allegedly burst into the home of Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard on Jan. 1 and threatened to kill him.
