Garbage in Salt Lake City
A lot of nonsense about cell phones and illness in Salt Lake City, Utah. Epidemiologists have to learn common sense.
Elderly couple to lose life insurance policy
Australian couple, each 89, after paying 31k in premiums learns that their life insurance policy lapses at age 90 and will pay nothing.
No wonder the insurance companies get rich.

Animal Kingdom: TV shows popularity.
While it has the usual allure of Southern California lifestyle of youth, sex, drugs and sunshine, this show features a family's interactions involving a dedication to an ongoing criminal enterprise.
Smurf, the matriarch, is shown in close proximity to the naked men in her house but there is no outright depiction of incest.
Drug use is rampant as is drug dealing but then again this is Southern California.
As is expected the emphasis is on the youngest characters but it seems Jay is bright and manipulative whereas Nicki is ambitious but too flakey to rise to the challeges of being the gun moll she hopes to become. Season 2's finale depicted Nicki as doing an impromptu robbery motivated by some old school girll tiff and getting some buckshot in her to go with the jacket she stole.

Notting Hill Festival's "acid" attacks
In the UK females do risk having caustic substances thrown in their face. Only a relativel few incidents and often involving prior relationships with Islamic males who do not tolerate freedom or independence being demonstrated by female acquaintances.
The recent faux attacks on the final day of the Notting Hill Festival seemed to have involved only water and were apparently filmed for their "entertainment" value. Passersby observing the prank did not hesitate to run and in so doing there were some relatively minor trampling incidents.
It must have been a terrifying few moments before the victim realized that although she was soakec, her face was not burning and so the substance could not really be acid.

Fentanyl and First Responders is HOGWASH.
These news reports of police, paramedics, bystanders being overcome by unintended exposure to minute amounts of fentanyl are all HOGWASH.
It remains: 80 percent of all self-identified addicts are not addicts and can go 'cold turkey' if they want or if they have to such as by being incarcerated and denied drug diversion or rehabilitation status.
Most 'overdose' deaths are not due to an overdose but due to a minute contaminant such as anthrax spores. Street doses tend not to vary that much and are not really that strong. It takes alot of heroin to intentionally kill someone in a hospital setting.
Most relapses are due to social circumstances wherein Rehab Graduates return to same neighborhood, same friends, same drug culture, same despair producing circumstances of hopeless under employment issues. Twelve step programs teach helplessness and are used as re-cruiting tools by dealers who want to re-establish a customer base. Rehab houses are often able to bill ten thousand dollars a week per patient and have no incentive to actually get anyone off drugs.

Statins and death by numbers.
The Quacks want me to take statins.
Statins do lower cholesterol but they generally pass thru the blood brain barrier and exert a cholesterol lowering effect in the brain as well as in their target organ, blood serum.
Anyone with a history of diabetes much less a history of a severe diabetic crisis already suffers from lowered cholesterol in the brain. Dietary fats and serum cholesterol levels do not affect brain cholesterol levels since its the brain that must manufacture its own cholesterol.
Statins do not improve quality of life nor do they extend life, they only "improve numbers' so that the patient dies with good numbers. "He lowered his cholesterol levels but kicked off anyway, so we will consider this a success because he died with good numbers on his chart."
What is the sense of that? WHY do the quacks want me on statins? Are the quacks trying to kill me? Are they giving me a none to subtle hint?
