...good, in fact, that many restorers have also become "intactivists" who say involuntary circumcision of newborn males is cosmetic surgery and a civil rights violation. When Prince realized his sensitivity loss was a result of being cut, he says, "I could feel so much anger building up in me because I didn't have a choice." Griffiths, who co-founded San Francisco-based NORM, or National Organization of Restoring Men, says, "I felt that I had been mutilated and denied the pleasures of a foreskin. I never felt comfortable in clothes because my glans was always being abraded." NORM...
...Tyson and Archer Daniels Midland. No, the real goal has always been to protect farmers from the vagaries of the weather and the market. Farming is indeed a risky business--most businesses are risky businesses--and farm policies have tried to reduce that risk by any means available. The result has been an evolving mix of income supports, price supports, disaster relief, government purchases of surplus crops for school lunches or foreign aid, and "supply controls" that boost crop prices by preventing overproduction. Such controls range from rules requiring farmers to leave some land fallow to acreage allotments directing them...
...result is that farm payments that used to cost a few billion dollars a year have averaged $17 billion. They'll be lower this year because commodity prices are so high. But owners of eligible farmland will still get direct payments regardless of how much their farms earn or whether their farms are still farmed.

When computerized poker and slot machines were introduced to New Zealand in 1988, gaming operators provided funding for a national gambling hotline, counseling centers, public-awareness campaigns and research. As a result, gambling addiction rates fell from 7% in 1991 to 3% in 1999. Gambling "is a lot like a ski slope," says Bo Bernhard, director of gambling research at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. "A bunch of people race down and have a wonderful time, but inevitably, you'll have a proportion that falls. You have to have a hospital at the bottom...
...stress are so variable, solid clinical evidence linking emotions to actual heart attacks and other coronary disease has been elusive. But that's changing. New studies suggest that both chronic strain at work and bad relationships put people at a markedly increased risk of heart trouble. As a result, researchers are calling more insistently for doctors to include the diagnosis and treatment of stress in routine care for patients with heart conditions and for those at risk. "It's not enough to give typical medicine," says Dr. Kristina Orth-Gomer, who has been studying stress and cardiology for 25 years...
