Does it matter what the doctor weighs?
Some say it matters to patients that physicians practice what they preach. But heft and ill health aren't always synonymous. As a registered dietitian, Sharon Salomon of Phoenix teaches clients how to eat right and lose weight. But despite her expertise, Salomon says there's just one word to describe her own physique: "fat." To some, Salomon's 5-foot-2, 170-pound body would be a professional deal-breaker. After all, are chubby dietitians or portly physicians in any position to advise others how to get healthy?

Eating with the enemy
Modern food production gives salmonella, E. coli and Listeria an advantage in causing food-borne illnesses. But Congress and the FDA are fighting back. Ground beef, romaine lettuce, cilantro, Anaheim peppers, granola nut clusters, alfalfa sprouts and a seeming host of products featuring nonfat dry milk, including yogurt, chai tea, shake mixes, frosting packets, drink powders and cocoa, gravy and sauce mixes -- all have been recalled in the last two months because of possible salmonella contamination.

He sees dead people, but never gets used to it
He helped retrieve a corpse from a lake, saw dozens of cadavers in medical school and has been there when 'patients' became 'bodies,' but he never became numb to death's pain. The first time I saw a dead body I was groping around in the dark in 125 feet of water looking for a drowning victim. A few members of my diving club had volunteered to help the grieving family find her: Collectively, we had enough brashness coupled with the insouciance of ignorance to go looking for this poor soul after the sheriff's divers said it was too dangerous at that depth. That's testosterone at work for you.

NYU researchers explore how power influences interpretation
(New York University) A newly completed new york University study of public reaction to the Sept. 11 attacks concludes that people in positions of power, from government officials to managers working on Wall Street to military personnel, tended to interpret the events in more abstract terms and with more certainty and positivity than ordinary individuals.

Facebook can threaten relationships, study says
A Canadian report finds that postings on the social media site can trigger escalating feelings of jealousy between romantically involved individuals. Never mind the perils of cyber-stalking, cyber-bullying and posting photos that could endanger your future job prospects: Facebook could be ruining your relationship and driving you toward compulsively jealous behavior.
