...vehemently for spots, we also had a chance to sit down with Daly and an executive producer of the show to find out why TRL has become such a runaway pop culture juggernaut. Want to hear Carsons opinion of Harvard? Or find out what really makes these teenage girls tick?

...TICK TEST Months before ticks are out full force, researchers have announced a new blood test that can detect Lyme disease as early as one week after a tick bite. That's a lot better than the current four to six weeks. The new test (not yet widely available, alas) detects antibodies to Lyme bacteria before they build up in the blood.
