Denny’s Restaurant harasses nursing mother. After Crystal Everitt was asked to cover up while breastfeeding at an Asheville, North Carolina, Denny’s restaurant, the regional management issued an unsatisfactory response. Local breastfeeding supporters went ahead with a nurse-in at the restaurant. 2. Dear Abby on pumping at work. Back in March, advice columnist Abigail Van Buren rightfully advised a woman not to be ashamed of pumping at work, but she failed to point out that a bathroom is not a pumping room and that California law protects pumping mothers in the workplace. The following June, the Dear Abby column published several follow-up letters wit...

Children Don’t See Dentist Early Enough The survey of 914 primary caregivers revealed that the average age children first visited a family dentist was 2.6 years of age. Furthermore, the study found that 34% of those sampled had children under the age of 11 that had never been to the dentist! Common Excuses Those surveyed commonly responded that their children were “too young,” or “didn’t have enough teeth” to visit the dentist. A number of others cited a lack of dental insura...

Colgate is the leader in over-the -counter oral health products. The recent growth is due, in part, to an upswing in toothpaste and toothbrush sales. Like a responsible contributor to society, Colgate continues to support oral health awareness programs across the globe. While Colgate is doing well in the current economic situation, Delta Dental is showing signs that seem more in tune with the economy. Layoffs. Do dentists need to worry?

This “discovery”, expectedly, would cause some more of the prudent scientists to be wary.  There are, after all, very few known persons to be resistant to HIV infection (estimated to be 1% of the European population) and bone marrow transplants are risky procedures.  To proceed with the bone marrow transplant,...

Delta wants to collect 10,000 photos of people smiling. That’s it. If you have a picture of yourself smiling, submit it. Why? Well, if Delta reaches their goal of receiving 10,000 photos of people smiling, they will donate $10,000 to the National Head Start Program, an organization that helps to develop vulnerable and underprivileged children. This is a good cause and it only takes a couple of seconds to submit a photo. So, submit one if you can. Submit photo to Delta Dental 10,000 Smiles Project You may also be interested in the press release.

The parties now have a six-month period in which to attempt to negotiate a settlement. If a settlement is not reached, the Commission could file a civil suit against Freedom Airlines. Gillette’s lawyer Beth Boepple has been quoted as saying: What the Human Rights Commission does with it and how they decide to fashion a remedy once we get past the next stage of the process– which is a six-month period of trying to negotiate a settlement — could in fact be precedent setting.

According to the Burlington Free Press, the Commission will review the findings of its investigator, who found reasonable grounds that Freedom discriminated against Gillette. The hearing is set to take place on Thursday, March 27, 2008, and it is closed to the public. While Gillette said she is not required to attend, she traveled to Vermont anyway. I feel really grateful, still, for the way the state’s set up.

There is a no difference between diabetic and non diabetic hearts in how they burn energy. Hmm, I am going to bet that at least half of you got this answer correct. If you answered false, you are a big winner! Diabetic hearts rely almost exclusively on fats for energy while a “normal” heart relies on fats and sugars for food. Let me break it down for you. Both PPAR-alpha and PPAR-beta/delta are proteins that are found in heart tissue. In the diabetic heart, enhanced activity of PPAR-alpha drives the use of fats as fuel, but the role of PPAR-beta/delta has been unknown, which is unfortunate being that this protein increases cardiac function. In the mice that were engineered to mimic a diabetic heart, increased PRAR-alpha, there was increased f...

Yesterday my Delta airline seat – slated for Ireland – sat empty on Rochester's tarmac  … because of thunderstorms at JFK. The storm offered Delta unique opportunities to show us its work ethic, or at least show some semblance of care to stranded customers. A brain based approach to this disaster could have boosted Delta’s slumping sales and shone new lights on a special operation that flyers would support with future sales. Frankly I watched the opposite … and it reduced my trust – while Delta manned a desk -  as if customer service for lines that faced them - had not yet been invented. It...

It's a disease that does not typically respond to treatment with standard chemotherapy drugs and therefore, diagnosis can come with a poor prognosis. But a new study out of Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center in Boston indicates this type of disease is sensitive to the drug cisplatin. The study, appearing online in the April 19 Journal of Clinical Investigation and in the journal's May print issue, shows that triple-negative breast cancer expresses larger amounts of two proteins, delta-Np63 and TAp73. Delta-Np63 binds to TAp73 ...

The most recent headlines say the active ingredient in the drug cuts tumor growth in common lung cancers in half and greatly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread.Researchers at Harvard University tested marijuana's main ingredient, delta-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC, in both lab and mouse studies and say their experiments are the first to show THC inhibits the growth of cancer.Researchers are not certain why THC inhibits tumor growth, but it could be that the substance activates molecules that arrest the cell cycle. THC may also interfere with angiogenesis and vascularization, which promotes cancer growth.There is a long way to go in the study of THC. Yet ...
