• Weighty Gear Shown to Injure Troops

SEATTLE - Before venturing out on patrol in Iraq, Spc. Joseph Chroniger would wrap his upper body in armor, then sling on a vest and pack that contained batteries for his radio, water, food, flashlight, ammunition and other gear. With his M4 rifle, the whole get-up weighed 70 to 80 pounds - and left him aching. His body hurt the most when his squad came under attack and he tried to run or dive on the ground. His neck and shoulders would burn as if on fire.

• Saudi Police Open Fire On Protestors, Injure One

CAIRO - Saudi police opened fire Thursday to disperse a protest in the section where minority Shiites live, leaving at least one man injured, as the government toughened its efforts to prevent a wave of unrest sweeping the Arab world from reaching the kingdom. The rare violence raised concern about a crackdown ahead of planned protests after Friday prayers in different cities throughout the kingdom. Violence there could reverberate through the world's markets because of the importance of Saudi oil exports.

• Window Falls Injure 5,000 Kids Yearly

LOS ANGELES - More than 5,000 children a year go to the emergency room after falling from windows, a study in the journal Pediatrics finds. The study, released Monday, examines patterns of such falls in children up to age 17, and finds that younger children may be at greater risk overall. Researchers looked at data from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance System from 1990 to 2008. In that time 98,415 children were treated in hospital emergency rooms after sustaining a window fall, averaging 5,180 patients per year (not included in the study were falls from car windows, tree house windows, windows in homes under construction, falls through windows and falls from window sills, since in most of those cases the child fell back into the room)...

• U.S. House Leadership Will Injure Women

As a physician, women's health advocate and resident of West Virginia, I am extremely concerned about the dangerous agenda the new congressional House leadership and Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana are aggressively pursuing. As food prices rise, the economy continues to struggle and families in West Virginia and around the country work hard to make ends meet, members of Congress are trying to take health care away from women.
