...says Norsigian, the proper solution to a lack of sexual desire would involve a number of non-drug approaches, such as therapy, mind-body techniques and getting partners involved in the solution. "That could be equally successful while at the same time not exposing women to the [potential] long-term adverse effects of drugs," says Norsigian, who suggests testing drugs like flibanserin against drug-free therapies. "Moreover, the non-medication approaches often address root causes for lack of libido and thus reflect a prevention approach that is usually much wiser...
...blocked for safety concerns. Intrinsa, a testosterone patch manufactured by Procter & Gamble, is used to treat female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women in Europe, but after being tested in women in the U.S., the FDA rejected P&G's fast-track request for approval in 2004, requesting more long-term safety data. And early trials of the experimental compound PT-141, a nasally inhaled drug that affects brain receptors for the hormone melanocortin, which plays a role in sexual arousal, raised concerns about its effect on blood pressure.

That a majority of Detroit's incoming city council will be fresh faces - including one of the police officials who triggered Kilpatrick's departure - can be viewed as a referendum on the former mayor's regime. Meanwhile, federal authorities are investigating other aspects of Kilpatrick's alleged activities...
...Moltrasio, head of European affairs at Confindustria, the Italian employers' association. "No longer is Europe divided into the politics of left and right, but between populist and reformist. What we need most of all is realism." Begg agrees and warns against the risk of pursuing bad policy for short-term electoral advantages. But, he adds, "the huge ideological disputes of the '70s and '80s are simply not on the agenda. Mitterand vs. Thatcher, talk of renationanlizing industry - that's gone. Instead, the debate will ultimately be around the details." Begg says how, and how fast, specific reforms should be enacted...
