 It's a new site to me, but it sounds nice from what you said. However, be very careful about these alternative, small ad networks. Unfortunately, they often carry ads which transmit viruses and spyware. Even if the company intends to be honest, it's difficult for the small networks to police the advertisers. I'm beginning to think it's not even worth bothering with the smaller networks due to t... |

 The technology is amazing, but does it really have to cost that much? It's out of reach for most individuals, and that level of expense is difficult to absorb even for insurance companies and governments. I know medical researchers focus first of all on finding solutions to medical problems and helping people live better, as they should, but cost is also something to be considered. How do you m... |

 This is definitely something that guys should be aware of. Although it's much more likely for a woman to get breast cancer, it can happen to men as well. It probably makes sense for men to do self-checking exams from time to time, though it would be overkill for guys to all get cautionary mammograms like women do. |

 I suppose it could help, but it takes fossil fuels to make condoms and the developing world produces less carbon to begin with. I think it'll actually be more helpful to prevent famines rather than reduce global warming. |

I would've liked the game to be replayed personally. Ireland deserved a fair shot at the World Cup -- yes, they could've played better and made it so the result wouldn't be in question, but that doesn't mean France should get to steal the game. A country of France's football pedigree doesn't want to win in such a manner, either. |

Wow, what a hero that 3 year old was! I'm sorry that the mom didn't survive and two others are injured. Fire is no longer as feared as it once was, but it's something we all need to prepare ourselves for...as this story shows, fire is still very much a killer and they can get started just about anywhere. |

7 hours ago
Unfortunately, as this article says, saving often doesn't pay in terms of the interest you get back. However, saving does give you a personal safety net. I think people realize how important that is now because of the high unemployment we're seeing. Saving is eminently sensible, but it's mainly for self-reliant people because government policy is tilted largely in favor of debtors (of course th... |

7 hours ago
 The timing for the panel's recommendations was pretty bad. On one hand, I think it's good to look for ways to reduce unnecessary procedures, but on the other we need to be careful that these recommendations don't become dictates. If getting a mammogram every year makes a woman feel better about her health, she should have that choice even if she's considered too young to be in the high risk gro... |

I don't know how to feel about this. This little girl has had to go through so much in her brief time on this planet. Now her parents could be put behind bars. However, if the parents are guilty of abusing their children, then their kids need to be protected. I hate the thought of this little girl being hurt at home as well as being victimized by those other boys. Very, very sad situation. |
