...individuals by praying for them. Contrary to popular belief, Christian Scientists are not prevented from seeking medical treatment; the church just wants to make sure that both members and nonmembers are also able to afford visits to practitioners, which typically cost from $20 to $30 per session, and longer-term services of private nurses (who provide nonmedical care such as bathing, dressing wounds and feeding) and nursing facilities. TRICARE, the military health plan, already covers these services. And the Federal Employee Health Benefits program provides partial reimbursement for stays in Christian Science nursing facilities.

...years after the last time I strapped on goalie pads and stood in the net, I'm gonna pull on my mask again and play some honest-to-goodness ball shinny (which sounds sexier than it is).

Crist also imposed strict air pollution standards, signed a law allowing for low cost health insurance policies, and appeared at a February 10 rally with Obama to support the stimulus...
...attempt to turn Taiwan into a "Cycling Paradise" has also proven to be a popular gimmick. How much staying power bike riding and walking to work and school will have in the long-term if the island's pollution continues to get worse remains to be seen. That may be the problem that Ma will need put some real muscle into...
