A study by a New York hospital has found that doctors ties carry pathogens.
So do cell phones, pens and pagers.
However, a doctor’s tie tends to touch a patient and is changed less often than the traditional white coat.
The solution?
They can wear a bow tie, use a tie pin or follow the example of Israeli doctors [...]

I received an interesting email from a social psychology professor at Augustana College in the US.
His name is Dr. Mark Vincent and this is some of what he has to say about a survey he is attempting to conduct.
Seems a bit ironic, but I’m truly having a difficult time getting Christians to lend me a [...]

It is called dropping the writ.
This morning Paul Martin walked across Sussex Drive in Ottawa to the Governor General’s residence. He gives the GG the election date that has been picked (it has to be within 36 days) Elections are held anytime within a five year period.

Faith and people, yes, but religion, no.
This is a site that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to friends [...]

It was nothing short of a bird riot.
The screaming was so loud my ears hurt.
It started with one crow sounding rather bothered and it escalated into a tree full -cackling, cawing and crowing as if life itself depended on it.
At first I thought it was a fight for food with some seagulls, but as more [...]
