New Web Resource: Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs

  • Categories: Web Sites
  • Printer Friendly|#| Trackback
" "The mission of the Consumer Reports Best Buy Drugs project is to provide consumers and their doctors with information to help guide prescription drug choices–based on effectiveness, a drug's track record, safety and price.

The project aims to improve access to needed medicines for tens of millions of Americans—because they lack insurance coverage for prescription drugs, because the prices of many medicines today are so high, and because many consumers and physicians may not be aware of proven and affordable alternatives.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year 2004: Blog

Blog noun [short for Weblog] (1999) : a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments, and often hyperlinks provided by the writer

Just as interesting to me is number 10 on the list: defenestration: Etymology: de- + Latin fenestra window: a throwing of a person or thing out of a window. I believe its more popular use today is in reference to getting rid of the Microsoft Windows operating system, as described in this book

Found a great new blog written by an Army Blackhawk pilot in Iraq. His post on 'Ramadan Thus Far' contains the following line I just love about why things are harder for terrorists in the Sunni triangle:

"" It's hard to execute a good plan when you're dead.""

UT El Paso: Herbal Safety

" "In the past decade, there has been an increased interest in herbal medicines and treatments, both from the mainstream medical community and the general public. One need look no further than the cold drink section of the local supermarket to see the various herbal supplements that are prominently displayed on many drink labels. In an effort to provide critical evaluations of these various herbs and related products, the University of Texas at El Paso has created this important website in order to disseminate information about research findings related to herbal use and to provide these findings in both English and Spanish."
