While I'm too busy to post anything substantive right now (proposal writing) here are the "top stories" from the CNN web site as of 12:25 pm, Eastern Time:

# Adopted dog helps save girl with cracked skull
# Teen jailed for her own safety, prosecutors say

So yeah, okay, there is at least one legitimate story in there. The NZ quake was near some uninhabited islands and did no damage, but you now, it's an earthquake! While the gunmen were storming the garage, four (4) U.S. troops were being killed in Iraq (bringing the daily average of dead coalition troops this month to 3.25, the highest since January of 2005 -- but hell, who's counting? -- there's still no Iraqi government, Iraqi children are starving, and a couple of hundred Iraqis are blown up, tortured to death, or shot every day -- maybe they'll get around to reporting on some of that. But Paris Hilton's Mother's Day gifts -- now that's news we need to know.
Discussion of public health and health care policy, from a public health perspective. The U.S. spends more on medical services than any other country, but we get less for it. Major reasons include lack of universal access, unequal treatment, and underinvestment in public health and social welfare. We will critically examine the economics, politics and sociology of health and illness in the U.S. and the world.
