Teen pregnancy, abortion rates rise - USATODAY.com - 0 views

  •  
    This is a very wonderful story based on pregnancy I think that girl's should not have any abortion's because you should never been doing what you was doing. Don't go get a abortion and your killing yourself and your baby. This is going to come back on you and you will have dreams about it. You will start wondering I should of keep my baby. Instead you drop him like he/she was some trash I really don't get why do females kill there baby. It will keep going on and on. If you don't want a baby now I suggest you find safety and protection if you don't want one. You just got to think about the living of it you killed your child that you had it really don't make any sence why you did what you did to have it. Question did you know that you had it.

The iPad: First Take From frog design | Blog | design mind - 0 views

  • “I love it,” said Esslinger from Vienna, where he teaches “convergent industrial design” at the University of Applied Arts. “The iPad is the beginning of a new category — one that is hyper-convergent and humanistic.”
  • For a device to be compelling as a “casual computer” it has to have both the right user interface and the right “form factor,” designer lingo for a manageable and easy-to-use industrial design.
  • “The iPad is merging humanistic innovation with a culture of design and interaction that reaches the levels of high art,” says Esslinger. “In a digital world mostly deprived of any truly inspired product and experience culture, Apple stands out even more. The nearly forgotten American Dream of excellence and success is alive thanks to Steve Jobs!”

      In this quote, Mr. Esslinger precisely epitomizes my feelings on Steve Jobs and Apple.

  • "These results are suggestive for exotic life, but by no means a clincher," says Strobel. "What we want to do next is actually to measure something that may prove or disprove the abiotic and biological hypotheses,” he says – like the existence of such a catalyst.

STD Facts - Chlamydia - 0 views

  • Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States. In 2008, 1,210,523 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia. Under-reporting is substantial because most people with chlamydia are not aware of their infections and do not seek testing. Also, testing is not often done if patients are treated for their symptoms. An estimated 2,291,000 non-institutionalized U.S. civilians ages 14-39 are infected with C. trachomatis  based on the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.  Women are frequently re-infected if their sex partners are not tre
  • Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because the majority of infected people have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.
  • To help prevent the serious consequences of chlamydia, screening at least annually for chlamydia is recommended for all sexually active women age 25 years and younger. An annual screening test also is recommended for older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or multiple sex partners). All pregnant women should have a screening test for chlamydia.

Groin-punch 'game' harms more boys - Health - Kids and parenting - msnbc.com - 0 views

  • An msnbc.com poll of 100 urologists, conducted by Truth On Call, showed that 30 percent of the doctors had seen or treated pre-teen and teen boys for testicular trauma in the past year, including severe injuries caused by so-called “sack-tapping,” in which boys ambush others at school and elsewhere.
  • The issue was highlighted by news last week that a 14-year-old Minnesota boy, David Gibbons, had to have his right testicle removed after a hallway assault. “This is, in fact, a form of bullying,” Atala said. “Someone may do that without realizing the consequences of their actions.”

  • Bruises, blood clots, testicular torsion — in which the organ twists up to 360 degrees — and, more rarely, testicular rupture, all are consequences of blunt force trauma to the testicles, including injuries caused by close-range punches.
