Want job satisfaction? A "careful choice of career is the key," researchers concluded in a paper this spring in the Journal of Economic Psychology.

In April, scientists reported in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical & Experimental Research that college students tend to drink much more alcohol than they think.

Want to reduce problems with medications, such as harmful side effects or drug combinations that will kill you? The solution is at hand: "Communication between primary-care physicians and patients can reduce" such problems and the chance that patients will be harmed. That is especially true if doctors encourage their patients to -- wait for it -- tell them when they experience a bad side effect, concluded a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine in January.

"When employees get chilly," the scientists concluded, "they are not working to their full potential."

...the most common cause of finger amputation in the men is power tools. The researchers advise men who use power tools to "avoid exposing their fingers to direct contact" with razor-sharp blades spinning at a few thousand rpm.

A study found that asthma worsens the effects of smoking, putting puffers at greater risk for the kinds of lung problems that smoking causes than people without asthma.

a February study in the journal Psychonomic Bulletin & Review that concluded that it's easier to identify someone close to you than someone more than a football-field-length away.

researchers at an American Heart Association conference proclaim that if you work full time and watch television, play videogames or surf the Internet in your off hours, then you are probably not engaging in as much heart-healthy physical activity as full-timers who spend no time with TV, videogames and the computer.

Wow...

Either it's the honey-whiskey tea (the Irish cure for everything) I am nursing this cold with tonight ...or that's was funny as hell.

Actually, that goes against common wisdom. Heat is supposed to make people lethargic, a chill is supposed to keep them alert.

For this very reason, several comedy clubs I could (but won't) name run their AC high.

It's probably a matter of degree. If you're cool you're alert. If you move beyond that, you're preoccupied by your discomfort.
