Google news: Nicotine Replacement

The exam lasted about an hour and a half, and the president is in good health, according to a summary by the physician who performed the exam, Dr. Jeff Kuhlman.The report said the president weighed in at 179.9 pounds with his shoes and workout clothes on. He has an enviable body mass index of 23.7, but his doctor wants him to modify his diet to get his LDL cholesterol, now 138, below 130. The president is still using nicotine replacement therapy and the doctor's recommendations include continuing his smoking cessation efforts.I believe that since Obama is using nicotine replacement therapy he really cares about his self meaning his health.

In 1452, Leonardo Da Vinci was born in an Italian town called Vinci. He lived in a time period called the Renaissance, when everyone was interested in art. Even though Da Vinci was a great artist, he became famous because of all the other things he could do. He was a sculptor, a scientist, an inventor, an architect, a musician, and a mathematician. When he was twenty, he helped his teacher finish a painting called The Baptism of Christ. When he was thirty, he moved to Milan. That is where he painted most of his pictures. DaVinci's paintings were done in the Realist style.

Health

Swine influenza virus is common throughout pig populations worldwide. Transmission of the virus from pigs to humans is not common and does not always lead to human influenza, often resulting only in the production of antibodies in the blood. If transmission does cause human influenza, it is called zoonotic swine flu. People with regular exposure to pigs are at increased risk of swine flu infection. The meat of an infected animal poses no risk of infection when properly cooked.Swine flu, also known as 2009 H1N1 type A influenza, is a human disease. People get the disease from other people, not from pigs.

Shocking Brawl

A Brawl broke out during a basketball game at Monessen High School late last week.It happened during halftime of a basketball game between Monessen and Washington high schools Friday night. Mario Tarver, a 15-year-old student at Monessen High School says a fight between two girls spiraled out of control and he got caught in the melee in that spilled out the hallway. "I just started to walk away from him and he told the other officer to get me. When I got around the corner, he started to tase me and my track coach tried to help me," said Tarver. "It was like a stabbing, and once I fell - this lady stood over me. I just got up and tried to get to my mom. Students and parents in the Monessen School District say they're embarrassed after a fight following the boys varsity basketball game ended with arrests and police tasing a student. 

A taser is an electroshock weapon that uses electrical current to disrupt voluntary control of muscles. Its manufacturer, Taser International, calls the effects "neuromuscular incapacitation" Someone struck by a Taser experiences stimulation of his or her sensory nerves and motor nerves, resulting in strong involuntary muscle contractions and the devices' mechanism "Electro-Muscular Disruption (EMD) technology".

To me this taser incident wasn't needed because all they have to do was call back up to call to get the students out the building and to send everybody home. This situation did not need students to me tased  to try to get their point across.
