    "Parents at a high school in California have complained that articles in Mountain View High School's The Oracle were inappropriate and obscene. One of the articles in question was an inforgraphic titled "What they teach you in health, and what you really need to know" that dispelled myths about sexual activity and gave information about safe sex. The topic came up at a school board meeting earlier this week, where once again parents expressed concern over the newspaper's content and asked the school district to assume greater control over the content in the paper."

    "Slipped into the Agricultural Appropriations Bill, which passed through Congress last week, was a small provision that's a big deal for Monsanto and its opponents. The provision protects genetically modified seeds from litigation in the face of health risks and has thus been dubbed the "Monsanto Protection Act" by activists who oppose the biotech giant. President Barack Obama signed the spending bill, including the provision, into law on Tuesday"

Laughter Produces Endorphins, Study Finds - NYTimes.com - 0 views

  • Laughter is regularly promoted as a source of health and well being, but it has been hard to pin down exactly why laughing until it hurts feels so good.
  • The answer, reports Robin Dunbar, an evolutionary psychologist at Oxford, is not the intellectual pleasure of cerebral humor, but the physical act of laughing. The simple muscular exertions involved in producing the familiar ha, ha, ha, he said, trigger an increase in endorphins, the brain chemicals known for their feel-good effect.

      I feel that this article is newsworthy because I love to laugh and I think that a lot of people would find this interesting too. This article has meaning because it tells you why laughing feels good to people and it also has helpfulness/special interest because it involves your health. The article also has impact because everyone laughs so this story would affect most people.

  • NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. — Any old pond will do. Michael L. May set out one recent Wednesday morning from his cramped office at the Rutgers University entomology building to collect a few dragonflies.
  • The road to a more pristine lagoon in a county park was closed, so Dr. May pulled off a highway two miles from campus and parked alongside a triangular pond lined with tall weeds and poison ivy and wild hibiscus serving up white shuttlecock flowers. With the traffic on U.S. Route 1 whizzing off in the distance, Dr. May, a bushy-bearded Florida native who just turned 65, grabbed his net and shuffled down the bank until his sneakers sank in the mud.

    "(CNN) -- A 2-year-old Mississippi girl is the first child to be "functionally cured" of HIV, researchers announced Sunday. Researchers said they believe early intervention -- in this case within 30 hours of birth -- with three anti-viral drugs was key to the outcome. A "functional cure" is when the presence of the virus is so small, lifelong treatment is not necessary and standard clinical tests cannot detect the virus in the blood."
