TM: No, not much at all. Folks tried. They were very sympathetic to the plight of the veteran and very supportive of our troops. But for those who've never served or been to war, it's very difficult for them to imagine the kinds of things we talk about. So most combat veterans don't talk about it a whole lot, and when we do, it's among ourselves. And that's part of the reason I ultimately decided to publish it. After a year of [the book] sitting on my shelf, waiting for my grandkids to be old enough to read it someday, I decided there might be some healing that could be accomplished for people who don't understand what their friend, their neighbor or their family member went through. In reality, we're not facing a uniformed army that honors the tenets of the Geneva Conventions. We're fa...
If I knew 10 years ago what I know now about being a parent, I would have: n Purchased stock in a brand-name adhesive bandage company. My daughter left for school last week with no less than four bandages affixed to various scratched and punctured parts of her skin. For her, they were badges of honor, earned after diving into pine trees trying to catch a football. For me, they were 10-minute explanations to everyone who asked what happened and assuring them stitches would be overkill.
Twelve days after an East Memphis investment banker was murdered in 2005, police found bandages, medical tape and skin-healing products in her teenage daughter's vehicle. On Wednesday, Criminal Court Judge Chris Craft denied a defense motion to suppress that evidence and also set a Sept. 22 trial date for Noura Jackson, 21, who is charged in the stabbing death of her mother.
FOR THOSE who may not have noticed, the packaging of consumer products is an art and science. An entire industry is dedicated to creating those attractive boxes, bags, cartons and bubble packs. The talent it takes to create a package that will protect a product during its journey halfway around the world, yet still be attractive enough to beckon the consumer, goes largely unappreciated - until we get it home and try to open it.

WASHINGTON - One day your annual flu shot could come in the mail. At least that's the hope of researchers developing a new method of vaccine delivery that people could even use at home: a patch with microneedles.

The following is an excerpt from "Bowing to Beijing" (Regnery Publishing, Nov. 14, 2011): The Chinese have peddled numerous toxic products to American consumers, including everything from children's toys to adult vitamins to pet food. The U.S. government regularly stops more poisonous or faulty products at the border that were imported from the PRC than from any other nation. In April 2011, for example, the Food and Drug Administration issued 197 import refusals for Chinese goods, compared to 107 for India and 105 for Mexico, the two next most prolific purveyors of bad merchandise. Some of the 197 goods refused for entry into America included hazardous cardiograph machines, cosmetics, pet medicine, diet drugs, orthodontic parts, surgical bandages, frozen spinach, asparagus and candy.
