...here's what you really need to know. Yes, the latest study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that MRSA is more prevalent than any previous estimates had suggested. In the CDC's survey of nine states in 2005, there were 32 cases of MRSA infection for every 100,000 people. (By comparison, in that same year, the incidence of invasive pneumonia or flu infections ranged from less than one to 14 cases per 100,000 people.) Extrapolating from these states' statistics, the researchers estimated that there...
Data discrepancies are fascinating. I was researching the topic of global warming and happened upon the results of a survey conducted in July by Yale University's School of Forestry & Environmental Studies addressing American opinions of global warming. According to the press release issued by the school, "Americans consider global warming an urgent threat." I didn't pause very long before diving quickly into our data to see if this urgent threat was reflected in the way we search. If, as the study claimed, "nearly half of Americans believe that global warming is either already having dangerous impacts on people...
...Firstborns do more than survive; they thrive. In a recent survey of corporate heads conducted by Vistage, an international organization of ceos, poll takers reported that 43% of the people who occupy the big chair in boardrooms are firstborns, 33% are middle-borns and 23% are last-borns.

And a recent study found a statistically significant overload of firstborns in what is-or at least ought to be-the country's most august club: the U.S. Congress. "We know that birth order determines...
Musharraf's eight years in power have seen unprecedented economic gains, a freer media and better infrastructure, but his increasingly ham-fisted attempts to stay in power have eroded public confidence. A recent survey by the U.S.-based International Republican Institute found that Musharraf's ratings have reached rock bottom. "As the national mood continues to sour, President Musharraf continues to bear the brunt of this voter dissatisfaction and his approval rating has dropped to an all-time low of 21%, from a high of 63% in September 2006," says the report...
...Love Bitches,” a book that shows women how to become more desirable while losing any remnants of decency and self-respect. While in other genres the differences in male and female readership aren’t as clearly drawn, they still exist. A recent survey in The Guardian asked men and women to name the books most personally important to them. The results found that men were drawn to books about isolationism (number one was Camus’ “The Outsider”), while women tended toward Austen and Brontë novels focusing on social...
