A Different Perspective
Yogi Bear stood at the entrance to Jellystone National Park. He scouted unattended picnic baskets while awaiting Boo Boo Bears arrival home on the school bus. Yogi and Boo Boo were co-owners of a playoff fantasy team. As Yogi considered himself smarter than the average bear, he figured his team had a decided advantage, but he needed Boo Boos help in researching and deciphering the most recent data before submitting teams for the next round of games. So he waited anxiously and kept a look out for Ranger Smith. The school bus screeched to a halt at the entrance and Boo Boo climbed down the steps, dragging his back pack behind him. The bus roared off in a cloud of dust and rubble. Hey, Boo Boo! Were still in first place in our fantasy league. Lets go look at the stats and make our picks. I dont want to play anymore, Yogi.

Halle Berry Upsets Diabetics
Maybe it's the hormones from being pregnant, but Halle Berry has lost her mind. The actress has been quoted saying that she was a Type 1 diabetic but now she has been able to ween herself off insulin to be a Type 2. SOMETHING THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE. Pregnant HALLE BERRY is winning her battle with diabetes, thanks to a healthy diet and good living. The actress was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes after she passed out while shooting a TV show called Living Dolls when she first arrived in Hollywood. But the disease has now dropped to Type 2 diabetes because Berry is no longer "insulin dependent". She says, "I've managed to ween myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the Type 2 category." Such an assertion is outraging many diabetics. Type 1 diabetes means your pancreas is dead.
Patients want GP surgeries to open evenings and weekends
The GPs brigade would happily post their spins today as they opted out of week end working, and are paid more! Only in the UK this scandal happens. The average time I spent in my GPs surgery is about 7 mins, and can some one tell me whether it isenough to give a 'personalised' service. BMA the god father is there to look after them. I would welcome polyclinics or even scrapping GP model as it is today and adapting the French model which is the envy of the world. GPs wrongly diagnosed my problems and thanks to my persistence and a friendly consultant damage was not done. GPs never retrain or go to refresher courses, and for a long time my GP was prescribing tablets which were superseded by better ones. So much for his professionalism. GP practice is a business which works well for the GP and his spouse who is often the practice manager.
Transcript: Top Governors Evaluate '08 Candidate Field on 'FNS'
Joining us now to talk about those issues and the presidential race are four leading governors — Tim Pawlenty, Republican from Minnesota; Mark Sanford, Republican from South Carolina; Tim Kaine, Democrat from Virginia; and Jon Corzine, Democrat from New Jersey. Governors, welcome to "FOX News Sunday." Good to have you here. Let's start with a look at your states and how they may vote in November. Governor Pawlenty, Minnesota has the longest streak in the nation of going for a Democrat. The last Republican to win in Minnesota was Richard Nixon back in 1972, but in 2004 Kerry beat Bush by only 51-48. So, question: What are the chances that Minnesota finally goes Republican this year? .
Royal Ballet: Primeval power retains its grip
For all the splayed hands, bent legs and weighty jumps on the beat, MacMillan's patterns are intricate. He uses the great mass of dancers to ebb and flow, varying the movement for women and men, propelling the action so that it unfolds into a convincing ritual, an "adoration of the earth" that gives way to a sacrifice under a golden sun (which also looks like the Tree of Knowledge and a nuclear cloud). As the chosen maiden, Tamara Rojo freights each step with meaning, fists railing against her fate. Her grave eyes shine through her mask-like make-up, conveying fear and pride in equal measure; her terrified exhalations of breath, her rapid runs around the stage, the very way she pounds her feet and raises her arms, all reveal the weight of what has befallen her, as the swaying, stamping crowd raises her aloft like a petrified animal.
AINA makes a school subject out of gardening
He could not make a connection between the carrot in his hand and the orange cubes in a frozen mix of peas and carrots. "That's kind of scary, that kids these days have never tasted or seen" a fresh carrot and think food comes from the supermarket, says Betty Gearen, co-director of a new program called AINA in the Schools. The Kokua Hawaii Foundation originated the AINA program, whose name means "land" in Hawaiian, and also is the acronym for its mission: Actively Integrate Nutrition and Agriculture in Schools. The program is now in effect at Waialae Charter and Sunset and Aikahi Elementary schools for the second year. The AINA program has turned the garden into a classroom for 200 or so kids at Waialae. "They just love us -- they give us hugs" when they see Gearen and her helpers coming for bimonthly lessons, she said.

Kosovo sends out a different message
With only five days to go, there are posters everywhere: at the metro stations, in the bus shelters and on banners across the streets. Proudly formal, they have the eagle crest and the simple fact of the 2 March election against the background of the red, white and blue Russian flag. .
