| Study Finds LASIK Safe For Severe Myopia
More than 18 million people have had LASIK surgery on their eyes to correct vision problems since the early 1990s. According to a new study in the American Journal of Ophthalmology, the choice has been a safe one for people with severe myopia, also known as nearsightedness. Researchers from Miguel Hernandez University in Spain looked at long-term results for 118 patients, who had surgery on 196 eyes. .
Canadian health care system lags behind Europe, study says
They don't tell us that the physicians who leave Canada because of our socialist system may not represent huge numbers, but they represent our potential leaders, teachers, and 'best of the best'in medicine, because those kinds of people tend to not respond well to being told what they can and can't do by a government bureaucrat. Our system needs compassion AND flexibility. The ability to use our own personal money to get the healthcare we want would create that flexibility. Is it against the law to buy better food? better shelter? Better education? NO. But it is against the law to buy better healthcare in Canada. What ethical basis is there for this? Are food and shelter less important than healthcare? It's the socialist ideas of so called 'Canadian Hero' Tommy Douglas and politics that are destroying our system.

Peach Buzz
As luck would have it, when the University of Georgia junior made it onto the television quiz show, the hardest questions came from the blues music category. "That tripped me up the most," said Rolader, 21. The 2005 Brookwood graduate taped the show in October, and it aired last week. "I had a bunch of friends over [to watch the show]. It was a blast," said Rolader, who is studying history and sociology and does a little part-time catering on the side. He says he was just a question away from winning, but got $2,000 for his trouble. "That's not too bad," said Rolader, who is considering law school or maybe politics. "It was just so much fun playing." Passing the torch at WSB On Jan. 31, WSB newscaster Jovita Moore will take over the 5 p.m.
The hardball master has taught Hillary well
They watch our elections as closely as we do, maybe more than some of our fellow citizens do . . . So let’s not forget you’re hiring a president not just to do what a candidate says during an election. You want a president to be there when the chips are down." In Nevada, she put it slightly differently: "I do feel that the next president has to be prepared because we are up against a relentless enemy. And they will take advantage of us." What was she getting at? It’s pretty obvious. She is predicting that electing her Democratic rival, Barack Obama, will invite a terror attack because he has less experience than she has. If you wonder if you’ve heard that kind of argument before, you have. It has been a staple of hardball Republican politics for the past seven years: vote for the Democrats and the terrorists win.
Social shopping Web sites make buying things a subject of chatter ...
Perusing the site to see all the things people want, have bought or are discussing is "almost like browsing through 10, 20, 30 different catalogs," he said. "In a way Kaboodle is a like a suite of shopping magazines edited by the people." That element exists elsewhere on the Internet, where other sites have product recommendations, price comparisons and elements of personal expression. Even major brand retailers are letting consumers post reviews _ positive and negative _ about their goods. "We have never seen, in the past few decades, the shift in power to consumers that we're seeing now," said Pat Conroy, vice chairman and lead consumer products consultant for Deloitte & Touche USA LLP. However, users say the difference in social shopping sites is the way they focus not just on the buying of things but on the quest for them.
