...tradition is hard to break. And restoration isn't for everyone. Only a small minority of circumcised men report sensitivity loss and dryness. In fact, the National Health and Social Life survey by the University of Chicago found that sexual dysfunction is slightly more common in intact men. Still, for those cut men uncomfortable with their circumcisions but even more squeamish about tugging on or weighing down their penises, Canadian inventor Randy Tymkin has developed a foreskin substitute - a silky sheath that protects the penis and keeps it soft. It's called ManHood...
...post market-beating returns. Managers charge a lot for their expertise - typically a 2% annual management fee plus 20% of profits. But with funds multiplying in both diversity and complexity, industry insiders expect competition to force less successful funds to start reducing what they charge their customers. A recent survey of 100 large-fund managers conducted by consultants Ernst & Young found that 72% expected a drop in management fees and 80% expected performance fees to fall...
...promising leads until the check is deposited in the bank,” he said. On the same day that the Kennedy School announced the Shell donation, it called attention to the first of a series of community forums intended to train New Orleans neighborhood leaders in survey methods, a project that also receives funding from Shell. The Kennedy School’s Broadmoor Project emphasizes data collection in the effort to rebuild one of New Orleans’ 49 neighborhoods. According to Carolyn E.

It is also an admission that, despite an explosion of news on autism in recent years, pediatricians are not currently doing an optimal job of identifying the spectrum of conditions now believed to affect as many as 1 in 150 children. A 2004 survey of primary care pediatricians found, for instance, that only 8% were routinely screening for autism, even though 44% said they saw at least 10 kids with autism in their practice...
Meyers, a neurodevelopmental pediatrician with Geisinger Health System in Danville, Pa., wrote the AAP's new survey of research on managing the care of children with autism. His report supports intensive behavioral and speech therapy - at least 25 hours a week - beginning as early as possible. But, he concedes, there's a lack of rigorous, randomized research on what interventions work best. The report encourages pediatricians not to condemn parents who turn to alternative therapies, but to help guide them toward the safest and best-researched approaches. "Don't just dismiss it out of hand," says Meyers, "It's important...
