...Overdose Problem For the most recent study of overdose risk, researchers examined the medical records of nearly 10,000 chronic-pain patients being treated within a Washington State health plan between 1997 and 2005. Published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in January, the study found that 51 patients had experienced overdose - six of them fatal. The overall risk of overdose was small, but it was clearly associated with the dose of the medication originally prescribed: patients receiving the highest doses were nearly nine times more likely to overdose than patients on the lowest doses. "The overall risk among people...
...such a view miscalculates the degree to which Israel's relations with its Western allies are changing. Israel's unilateral security and military actions - as justifiable and as effective as they may be - are souring world opinion against the Jewish State.

But attempts to close down the story and move on have been thwarted by a fresh allegation. Christine Pratt, chief executive of a charity called the National Bullying Helpline, has spoken to British media outlets claiming that Downing Street staff contacted her organization for help, telling...
...time when small protests against the government are sprouting on the streets with chants of "Down with Préval." "If [former President Jean-Bertrand] Aristide were here, he would have listened to her the first time she brought the message. The country would not be in the state that it is now," says Toussaint Makenzine, 29, who sits outside a rainbow-colored dollhouse-like home with two pictures of Aristide, who lives in exile in South Africa, nailed above the front door...
