The Environmental Working Group (http://www.ewg.org/foodnews/) has just updated its list showing pesticide levels in 53 types of produce, and apples – formally No. 4 of their “Dirty Dozen” – now weigh in at No. 1! Researchers at Purdue University in Lafayette, IN, analyzed 51,000 pesticide residue tests done over 10 years (2000-2009) by the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Federal Food and Drug Administration. 98% of the apples tested contained pesticides out of over 700 samples. And most of the fruit and veggies under scrutiny had been washed and peeled, in order to represent more realistic eating conditions.Others that made the Dirty Dozen were celery, strawberries...

Now, those ten techniques are all well and good and helpful and necessary, but then I started wondering how and when to know if spilling a painful truth is just a bad idea all around — for everyone involved. (I recently told my loved one about their chronic bad breath. Was that a misstep? No? Whew.) So I asked the good doctor to tell us when we never, ever should tell someone a painful truth, regardless of how much and how well we think it may serve them. (Opt for that little white lie instead!) Dr. Archer gave us two good pieces of advice, and I’ve added eight of my own suggestions to round out the list. Do you agree or disagree? Have any more specific ex...

In particular, opponents have blasted Paul for getting some details about the law wrong in his off-the-cuff hypothetical example: Let’s say you have a local office and you have a two story office and one of your workers is handicapped. Should you not be allowed maybe to offer them an office on the first floor, or should you be forced to put in a hundred thousand dollar elevator? In fact ADA regulations specify that elevators will not be mandated for private buildings of “less than three stories” unless used for shopping, health care, or some other purposes.

What you may not have known is that Cho’s mental health records from when he was seen at the university’s counseling center went missing and were never located. Until now. Mental health records for Virginia Tech gunman Seung-Hui Cho that were missing for more than two years have been discovered in the home of the university clinic’s former director, according to a state memo shared with victims’ family members. Cho killed 32 people on April 16, 2007, then committed suicide as police closed in. His mental health treatment has been a major issue in the vast investig...

Cook was the winner of American Idol last season, and fans of the show know that his brother was a source of inspiration for him. At one point in the competition, Cook even broke down while talking about him on stage. Adam could be seen in the front row a time or two, which undoubtedly was a special moment for both brothers. Cook told the crowd at the 12th Annual Race for Hope in Washington, D.C., on Sunday that his brother had passed the day before. He said, “I actually lost my brother yesterday to a brain tumor and I couldn’t imagine being anywhere else right now.” Cook, along with his team, helped raise $98,000 for brain cancer research.

I have just heard from Mary and learned that she won her seat to the Kansas Senate by a comfortable 10% margin. I am thrilled. She is the kind of young leader who stands on principle that this country needs. Our best wishes for great success in her new work serving the people of Kansas and my personal hope (this is me, not her speaking) that she eventually move on up the ladder to help dry the swamp that is Washington D.C.

He blew his top, finally sick and tired of the rush at prestige universities to reward the most radical bioethicists with big dollars (or pounds), the more radical the better.We all know about Peter Singer and Princeton. Another case in point is Singer's fellow Australian Julian Savulescu, who I have written about here at SHS. I have seen him debate and there is no question, he is a real doozy, so far gone that he was larded with a ton of money by a foundation and brought to Oxford!

Mary came to my attention several years ago, when as a freshman in the Kansas House, she asked me out to testify in favor of a proposed cloning ban. (Through a lot of grit and persuasion, she got it through the House, but it never passed the Senate). That was when I first met David Prentice, another reason to look back fondly on that trip because he and I are now good friends.For standing against the desires of the Stowers Crowd, Mary was targeted politically, and in subsequent years won and lost the House seat. This year, she is running for the state senate, and in spite of being smeared with the usual Stowers-type attack ads about being against cures for opposing human cloning--a word the...

Do you spend scads of money on porn? Do you broadcast yourself masturbating to a live internet audience? Um, maybe if you’re a sex addict. And so go the theories about Christie’s soon-to-be ex-husband, Peter Cook. Say some experts, all these behaviors point to someone who has an addictive sexual personality. Someone who has such low self-esteem that he chooses to indulge an 18-year-old mistress instead of forming a sensual and mutually-respective relationship with his spouse. Someone who likely looks to porn and unrealistic standards to get his engine running. Naturally, none of these experts have treated Brinkley or Cook, but it stands to reason there may be something wrong with this guy’s gray...
