Police say a 12-year-old Southern California boy is dead after he apparently asphyxiated himself for thrills in the so-called "choking game."

Is Children's Health Getting Unhealthier?

2010-09-21T16:09:21Z

Starting in 2009 many school districts removed chocolate milk from their school lunch programs. An 8-oz. serving of reduced-fat chocolate milk has almost as many calories and sugar as a 12-oz. can of Coke, contributing to the childhood obesity crisis. Although milk has been an integral part of school lunches since the federally subsidized program was started in 1946, flavored milk has been a concern since the 2006 rule requiring schools to have comprehensive "wellness programs".

Aeds ? The Liability Myth

2010-10-05T15:56:24Z

The February 24 Wall Street Journal carried a story by Scott McCartney entitled "Why Hotels Resist Having Defibrillators." In a nutshell, the position reportedly taken by the hotel industry is that the risk of being sued as a result of having an automated external defibrillator (AED / defibrillator) on the premises outweighs the lifesaving benefits to the public of putting them there.
