POPSAll Gays Extinct By 2070 Dr Myars went on to paint a bleak picture for how society would be affected. "Obviously industries like hairdressing and interior design and university lecturers will be hardest hit, but organisations such as the BBC, CIA, Police will also be badly affected. Some gays may continue to be born in places like Sunderland, Salford and Bootle, were mincing around in a pink shell suit with your boyfriend is still frowned upon. But numbers will be far too low to have much impact nationally." Dr. Myars suggests one solution would be a quota based system of immigration for homosexual men from less developed parts of the world such as Mississippi or Turkmenistan where gay men still have to lead double lives and numbers are expected to be maintained. Dr Myars is currently studying the future of Lesbians, Bull Dykes in particular, in the developed world and his paper is expected shortly. The situation may also be saved by the vast number of married 'closets in Ireland.

POPSPandemics - What We Can Learn from WoW "Dr. Fefferman’s 2007 study, published in the prestigious The Lancet Infectious Diseases medical journal, reports that while these healers prolonged the life of their virtual patients, the longer life of the patients kept them infectious for a longer time, thereby passing on the disease to more players. The study also reported that the healers themselves became infected, and they, too, passed on the disease to more players. I asked Dr. Fefferman if her study can shed any light on our current swine flu scare. She told me, “One of the most significant findings we saw in the WoW study is that people panic before information is known. This isn’t surprising in a general context, but in the context of an epidemic, the extent of panic can shape the severity of the outbreak…"

POPSAlcoholism: What you might not knowze Much of that risk is inherited. Studies show that as much as 60 percent of the risk of alcohol-use disorders is genetic, said Dr. Marc Schuckit, professor of psychiatry at the University of California, San Diego, and director of the alcohol and drug treatment program at the Veterans Affairs-San Diego Healthcare System, who wrote the Lancet article

POPSStudy links paracetemol to asthma risk I'm sure too many people give children paracetemol because they are crying through hunger or fear. Because an adult has a headache from the crying so the Child should? No The Primary use for Paracetemol in Children, is to reduce fever, when it goes over 38.5 degrees, because children can be particularly sensitive to fever, because it can cause convulsions. Only a small reduction is usually needed (0.5 deg) before the chances are minimalized . In any other case the damage caused by the solution, can far outweigh any benefit

POPSJust Say No To Socialized Medicine True, other developed nations may spend less on health care as a percentage of gross domestic product than the United States does — but so does Sudan. Without considering value, such statistical evaluations are worthless. And one of the primary reasons health care costs more in America is that we are a wealthy country that demands the best. And, we’re investing a lot more in medical research. The United States produces over half of the $175 billion in health care technology products purchased globally. In 2004, the federal government funded medical research to the tune of $18.4 billion. By contrast, the European Union — which has a significantly larger population than the United States — allocated funds equal to just $3.7 billion for medical research.

POPSAnother Shot in the Arm for Vaccines Another study, just published in the Archives of Disease in Childhood, has shown that the MMR vaccine doesn't raise the risk of developing autism. The study, the largest to examine a possible link between the two, should provide some relief to worried parents, myself included. (My little girl gets another round of shots on Thursday.) But until someone comes up with a definitive reason to explain the rise in reported cases of autism over the past decade, I'm sure vaccines will still be a source of concern for lots of moms and dads.

POPSAnti-war Soros funded Iraq study People are free to *fund* whoever and whatever they want, but not matter who...the results are almost always a product of the view of the *funder*. To give any credibility to any "study", the $$$ behind it should be disclosed.
