As part of FDA Basics, FDA is hosting a webinar where you can learn more. Catherine Gray, Pharm.D., in the Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communication (DDMAC) in FDA’s Center for Drug Research and Evaluation will present an overview of the FDA’s “Bad Ad” program, specifically focusing on how to identify misleading prescription drug promotion and report this activity to the agency.

This quote caught me: The data also revealed that personal determinants such as neuroticism (reflects anxiety and emotionality) and health-related poorer quality of life differentiated internet-instigated non-adherent respondents from their counterparts. More plainly put: If you trust your life to an anonymous guy on Twitter with the handle @YourHealthGuru, you might not do as well as if you partnered with a trained professional. Or perhaps I’m reading too much into the study. (more…) *This blog post was originally published at...

Roger Helm of the Fish and Wildlife Services contaminant division thinks that BP will try to contest the animal kill totals of the spill.

According to the 2009 National Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) that was released today from the CDC, the survey asked more than 16,000 high school students if they’ve ever taken a prescription drug such as Oxycontin, Percoset, Vicodin, Adderall, Ritalin and Xanax.

This advice applies all romantic couples who have children, financial, and/or assets or other shared valued items. freep.com | Detroit Free Press Image via Wikipedia "People go into these relationships out of love, but they don't use their heads," says Pamela Radzinski, a Southfield divorce and family law attorney. Yet census data show the number of opposite-sex couples living together hit 6.8 million in 2008. That's up from 5 million in 2006 and up from less than a million some 30 years ago, reports USA Today, citing census data. Cohabiting couples make up roughly 10% of all opposite-sex U.S. couples, married and unmarried. But if you want to live together in the state of Michigan without marriage, Radz...

Perhaps that's because it wasn't spent alone, and there were two events that could have been, well, lonely. And they weren't. The first being the "Boy, Girl, Virus" program that Gwenn and I did at Hiram College in Ohio. That's Gwenn before the program, smiling kindly for the camera. This is at the end of the program... can you find me? I'm thinking of doing a "Where's Waldo?" picture at all future talks, though I'll hide better next time. What's cool is that there were about 60 students at the 9 pm event in the student center- and it wasn't a mandatory program. "This is the best turnout we've ever had!" One of the organizers beamed. I beamed, to...

By the way, the video posted below is one of the best videos I've ever seen. It's a clip courtesy of "The Love Doctor", who kindly visited Fox to expound upon the purity of the new president's love for his first lady. It quickly takes a turn for the worse. This is like a Valentine's Day present from the Gods, enjoy! I couldn't resist.

They said it would never happen. They said the egos were too big for Charlottesville to handle... they were right. But, for the fans, we have all agreed to share the stage again. In the spirit of love we are playing a special late-night, acoustic Valentine's show at Gravity Lounge here in Charlottesville. Last time I played there, Synthetic Division was fully loaded with dance goodness. But this time the set is going to be stripped down a little bit- not full-on acoustic like Bella Morte- for us, "acoustic" means a few less "bleeps" and "bloops". And replacing a robot's voice on the iPod with a piano sound. It's kind of nice to fill the writing void that was left when I sent off the book with an artistic endeavor. One of my bu...

Shawno as Bono for Halloween 2008? These were sunglasses Gwenn happened to have in her purse. I'd need a wig and someone to go as my wingman for the evening, The Edge. Oh yeah, I'd need somewhere to go on Halloween night as well, since I'm thinking Early 90's Bono might scare off the trick or treaters. Maybe dressing up as Early 90's Bono is a plan better suited for Bella Morte's CD Release party on October 4? Synthetic Division landed the opening slot, and I'd love nothing more than to steal Bella's hard-earned thunder as "The Fly", channeling Bono in his classic frontman prime.

A fructose index may be a better way to assess the risk of carbohydrates related to obesity.” Ok, so this is not the answer to your holiday munchies given that most cakes, pies and cookies are loaded full of fructose, but it does offer up the idea that a slice of bread or baked potato here and there might not be the worst thing ever.
