U.S. says Texas police department discriminated against women Posted: 03 Jul 2012 05:08 PM PDT (Reuters) - A federal lawsuit filed on Tuesday accuses Corpus Christi, Texas of discriminating against female applicants to the city's police department by requiring them to pass a physical test that favored men. The Justice Department said the female pass rate for the test, which was used between 2005 and 2011, was 80 percent lower than the male pass rate and that it excluded otherwise qualified applicants from consideration for hire as entry-level police officers based solely on their gender. The test, which included push-ups, sit-ups, and a 300-meter and 1. ... |

Fireworks eye injuries caused by shrapnel, not blasts Posted: 03 Jul 2012 01:54 PM PDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Just in time for July 4th, a U.S. study shows for the first time how fireworks can damage eyeballs. There are more than 2,000 eye injuries from fireworks every year in the United States, most occurring during Independence Day celebrations, but the exact mechanism behind the injuries had escaped researchers until now. Some had argued it takes flying shrapnel to make eyes bleed or rupture, while others thought pressure waves from the explosion itself are enough - in which case safety goggles might not offer adequate protection. ... |

Methadone was developed in Germany in 1937, and has been used by U.S. doctors since the 1960s to treat drug addiction. Its use for chronic pain relief has been on the rise since the mid-1990s, largely due to its relatively low cost. ... |
