With the recent formation of SETI International and its expressed aims to discuss, debate and eventually engage in Active SETI, the debate has again arisen, particularly as those against METI raise concerns about the potential dangers of alerting an extraterrestrial neighbor to our presence.

The actress and comedian opened up about her personal experience with depression in the latest issue of Glamour, noting that many people who coolly use mental-illness terms may not understand what's really going on when these issues actually happen.

Why Public Schools Should Require the HPV Vaccine
If you live in Rhode Island and your children go to public school, they will need to be vaccinated against the Human Papilloma Virus, or HPV. This is a new requirement—and not everyone likes it. Those who oppose the change point out that you catch HPV through sex, unlike infections like measles or whooping cough that you can catch if someone in the classroom has it and coughs on you. Why, they say, should the HPV vaccine be required for school?
Because it could save lives, that’s why.
HPV is the leading cause of cervical cancer. It’s also the cause of many other cancers, and genital warts. The vaccine, which can be g...

If you could protect your child from cancer with a vaccine, would you have them get it?
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) viruses such as Epstein-Barr, HPV, Hepatitis B and Herpes Virus-8 can cause cancer.

You Can't Handle the Truth
In almost every group of people there are labels to describe what each individual brings to the group. There is the organizer, the "fun one," the designated driver, the party animal and a whole host of others. In all my groups, I am the counselor. Years of working in human resources, listening to people's problems and trying to help them solve their issues, has left me feeling like Dr. Phil with hair. I have always been drawn to jobs helping others and so a few years ago I became a Certified Health Coach. One thing that I've learned from my current job, and my past jobs, is that people can't handle the truth. Years a...
