Sedona Red Rock News, Sedona, AZ Classifieds, Jobs, News, Sports, Weather - Hiker rescued, despite the ‘help’
According to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office, the man had hiked to the top of Capital Butte and upon descent he took the wrong trail which led him to an area where he could no longer descend, in part, because of a prior shoulder injury. The man was calm during his contact with deputies and remained stationary as requested.

By Dr. Glen Barry: Scott Walker, Authoritarian Anti-Science Dropout
Walker's "big and bold" agenda ends up to be little more than an anti-science dropout seeking to dismantle any institution or other source of power – be it women, schools, workers or the environment – that stands in the way of theocratic corporate oligarchy. I intend to examine his christian extremist war upon nature, workers, and women at another time. For now let's see how this college dropout seeks to uneducate a state and a nation, to radically diminish us in his image.

Evolution and medicine: the long reach of "Dr. Darwin"
all humans were the same. For many reasons, this is an error from an evolutionary perspective. In our current example, human CYP polymorphisms can manifest themselves in the form of intraspecific (i.e., individual) differences in drug metabolism. Two genes, CYP 2D6 and CYP 2C19 are particularly important since they affect how people metabolize approximately 25% of the drugs on the market [19].
Sipes and Gandolfi [20] observed that with respect to the antihypertensive agent debrisoquine, some 3 to 10 percent of Caucasians are poor metabolizers because they are homozygous for 2 nonfunctional alleles for CYP 2D6, the gene source of debrisoquine 4-hydroxylase enzyme. There appear to be more than 75 allelic variants of CYP 2D6 circulating in human populations [21].

Boost your immunity: Cold and flu treatments suppress innate immune system.
Boosting your immunity is actually a pretty bad idea. Even if these remedy and prevention products did what they purport to, you wouldn't want them to.

Chapel Hill killings shine light on particular tensions between Islam and atheism - The Washington Post
If a person considers his atheism (a lack of belief in God) or secularism (a commitment to keeping religion out of public policy) a basis for hating whole groups of people, he is either deeply confused about what it means to think critically or suffering from some psychological disorder."
