"The study was published online in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research.

The same went for arrests for driving under the influence. The more DUI arrests, the fewer drunken drivers out on the roads.

In large part, Fell says, that's because word spreads quickly. When people know DUI laws are strictly enforced, "They think twice about drinking and driving." And when people see someone pulled to the side of the road by a cop, he adds, they'll likely consider their own speed and sobriety."

Read the full article: Happy Holidays: FDA Moves to Ban Cake, Donut 'Sprinkles' - Breitbart:

Healthcare Industry: The Top Target of Cyber Attacks - Pharmaceutical Compliance Monitor

Read the full article: Healthcare Industry: The Top Target of Cyber Attacks - Pharmaceutical Compliance Monitor:

According to the Identity Theft Resource Center, 600+ breaches have taken place through October 2014—up nearly 26 percent from 2013. Healthcare providers and organizations account for approximately 42 percent of all breaches with 7.4 million personal records exposed this year alone.

Looking at these numbers it’s hard to argue against the vulnerability of any organization, regardless of their stature. Today, with advanced tools at hackers’ disposal, it’s truly not a matter of ‘if’ but ‘when’ a data breach will materialize."

Questionable Remedies for Eye Disease - NYTimes.com

RE: slowing the progression of macular degeneration and reducing the risk of vision loss

Read the full article: Questionable Remedies for Eye Disease - NYTimes.com:

"Some contained the right ingredients but not the right doses. Some added other stuff (selenium, B vitamins, grapeseed extract) that hasn’t been shown to slow macular degeneration and might actually reduce the effectiveness of the ingredients that do work. Of the 11 supplements that market research shows were top-sellers, only four duplicated the AREDS formula.

 Moreover, most manufacturers didn’t bother to point out that the AREDS results don’t pertain to everyone with macular degeneration, and that therefore some consumers won’t benefit from these products."

"As the researchers expected, those who died suddenly had higher rates of other cardiac risk factors, including obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and more.
