Nurse vs. IRS

Nurses are very smart people, and sometimes they need just a little more education to do their jobs effectively. This Wall Street Journal article called Nurse Outduels IRS to Deduct M.B.A. Tuition tells a great story you may need to use later. Lori Singleton-Clarke, you are my hero! Hope you get a book deal!

J. Lo --the ideal woman?

Tired of chubby buns and thighs? Never fear! Salvation is here. According to this BBC News story; Having a big bum, hips and thighs 'is healthy'

For all the parents out there...

Take heed if you have a leaky lad or lass. All is not lost. The 18 and under section of the NY Times health blog has a great story about bedwetting among kids over 5. Read the whole thing...the last paragraph is priceless.

And for all the corrections nurses...

This one's for you. Jeffrey Rosen has a great story called Prisoners of Parole, which was discusses alternative ways to keep certain offenders from reoffending and going back to prison.
