...helping reduce drinking, getting people to just sit down and actually count their drinks per week is a big first step. But the program goes further than that. For example, Check Your Drinking provides information about what people of the same age and gender typically drink. "I'm not sure if the same parts are helpful to different people," says Cunningham. "For some, it's population norms: 'Wow, I drink more than 95% [of people] my age or sex.' The amount of money they are spending could be important to someone else." In addition, the program provides colorful charts...
...argue that we're cut to the bone right now," says Kevin McCarty, head of Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation, which cut 14 positions in the 2009 fiscal year. New staff members could be charged with rooting out insurers who continue to cherry-pick healthy customers and making sure plans stay solvent despite the crush of new, previously uninsured customers...
...Exactly what states will have to do remains unsettled. But it's likely to be a lot. States may be required to vet some insurance plans to make sure they meet new federal standards.

...remains to be determined who is really at fault in this week's incident, but one thing is sure: the so-called whale war is not over. Watson's bluster and aggressive tactics may have earned Sea Shepherd a reality television show (and a parody on South Park), but its high-profile approach has also helped the organization get charitable donations from major Hollywood players. Though Japan's ICR claims that almost half of the International Whaling Commission's members support sustainable whaling, right now only Japan, Norway and Iceland hunt whales in significant numbers. Even with the loss...
