Panel Recommends Ban on 2 Popular Painkillers: Vicodin & Percocet
NY TIMES
ADELPHI,
Md. — A federal advisory panel voted narrowly on Tuesday to recommend a
ban on Percocet and Vicodin, two of the most popular prescription
painkillers in the world, because of their effects on the liver.
The two drugs combine a narcotic with acetaminophen, the ingredient
found in popular over-the-counter products like Tylenol and Excedrin.
High doses of acetaminophen are a leading cause of liver damage, and
the panel noted that patients who take Percocet and Vicodin for long
periods often need higher and higher doses to achieve the same effect..............<< MORE >>

Speaking after Iran's top legislative body upheld the election victory of incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, sources in Iran told this reporter in a telephone interview that the hangings took place in the holy city of Mashhad on Monday. There was no independent confirmation of the report.
Underlining the climate of fear among direct and even indirect supporters of Mousavi's campaign for the election to be annulled, the sources also reported that a prominent cleric gave a speech to opposition protesters in Teheran earlier this week in which he publicly acknowledged that the very act of speaking at the gathering would likely cost him his life.............

As many as 500,000 New Yorkers may have been infected with the H1N1 virus that causes swine flu, federal officials said yesterday, far more than initially estimated by the city's Department of Health.
The new data is based on a community survey that found 6.9 percent of New Yorkers experienced a flu-like illness during a three-week period in May when the illness was at its most active. Researchers used a new type of modeling to extrapolate an estimate of how many city residents were likely infected with the new virus but didn't seek treatment..........

USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is moving forward with plans to fund groups that support Iranian dissidents, records and interviews show, continuing a program that became controversial when it was expanded by President Bush.
The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), which reports to the secretary of state, has for the last year been soliciting applications for $20 million in grants to "promote democracy, human rights, and the rule of law in

That fight is reaching a crescendo, with the ranchers pushing Congress to permanently block the Army from expanding, potentially through eminent-domain claims.
