The surgeon general offers a plea to millions of health care professionals and a path to turning the tide on America’s opioid epidemic.Prescription drugs are where most opioid addictions start.

People with food allergies hope to never use an EpiPen, but sometimes we don’t have a choice.The EpiPen is necessary emergency equipment.
It should be cheap.
The effort to extract an unreasonable profit from the copy right device must be suppressed.
Congress can and should remove the device copy right.

State lawmakers arrived Tuesday in the village, about 35 miles northeast of Albany, where the public water supply has been contaminated with high levels of a toxic chemical.I am willing to wait for the science.

Jailing Old Folks Makes No Sense
Evidence shows people “age out” of crime. So why still lock them up?"Many incarcerated people would be the first to acknowledge the pain and loss their crimes caused. But if prisoners older than 50 have served decades-long sentences and have shown evidence of rehabilitation, the only rationale for holding them appears to be endless punishment and retribution."
Theories of imprisonment vary.
Punishment has predominated for half a century.

The ruling against the use of a new method of analyzing genetic data dealt a blow to prosecutors trying to convict a former coach of strangling the 12-year-old boy in Potsdam, N.Y.https://www.google.com/maps/place/Potsdam,+NY+13676/@44.5592718,-74.989496,10z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x4ccc60c656d2e397:0x8d777445ee525b7b!8m2!3d44.6697805!4d-74.9813084
I don't know enough.
The DNA is probably his.
There are too many ways it could have gotten under the kid's nail.
The prosecutor should try to make the case without the DNA.

The Decline of Tube Feeding for Dementia Patients
The families of patients with advanced dementia are increasingly rejecting that feeding method. For one thing, there’s no evidence that it extends life.I am in favor of hospice when my mind is gone.
