...obstetric care can help prevent premature labor. An increasing number of Americans cannot afford medical insurance, and there is a high percentage of the uninsured among younger, less financially secure people. Since this group tends to have the highest rate of pregnancy, it's possible that premature labor may worsen as America's health-care crisis worsens. I encounter young couples all the time who are prospective parents but have no way of accessing appropriate antenatal care. This makes no sense when 16% of the U.S. gross domestic product is spent on health care...
...venal incompetents of the Sandinista Front even as it was scarred by the U.S.-backed ontra war of the 1980s. But as the Western hemisphere's third poorest nation goes to the polls this Sunday to elect a new president, it looks set to prolong if not worsen its misery - thanks, in part, to Washington's failure to give Nicaragua's voters enough incentive to look to the future for leadership instead of reaching into the past...
...Wynne, the dumb blonde (Julia L. Renaud ’09). It soon becomes apparent from Paige’s neurotic preparations and treatment of the guests as they arrive that she has ulterior motives.

...their growing children. Then as middle age set in, a sense of loss--a feeling that's particularly acute for anorexics at midlife--set off a flare-up. "The loss of order--brought on by a change in job status, marriage, children--can cause an anorexic's symptoms to worsen," explains David Herzog, director of the Harris Center for Education and Advocacy in Eating Disorders at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital. The departure of her college-age children led to Johnson's most dangerous bout. Unhappiness at work caused Binckley's symptoms to kick in again. For others...
...fuel used per passenger by a similar amount. Find taking connecting flights to be a waste of time? Flying direct is more than just convenient. With the intense fuel burn of take-off and landing cycles generating a big portion of a flight's emissions, changing planes can worsen an overall journey's environmental impact. According to Ascend, a direct chartered flight from London to Goa, India - routinely carrying extra seats - can use 60% less fuel per seat than a scheduled service that requires passengers to transfer. So, with guilt alleviated, you're ready for that vacation: seats aboard charter...
