A
late spring heat wave has people in much of the eastern half of the
country sweltering in temperatures that look move like the dog days of
August than the first full week of June. High temperatures climbing to
100 degrees or more could stay there into the weekend for parts of the
South as high pressure pumps hot air into the region. Source Link
It’s
good news that’s tinged with some unease. A new survey says almost all
kids are getting their childhood vaccines, but most parents still worry
about the safety of those shots. Only 5% of parents surveyed by the
Centers for Disease Control said they planned to skip some of the
vaccines for their children. Experts stress there’s no evidence that
vaccines can cause autism. Source Link
It’s
another reason why America can be proud of its fighting women. A new
Veterans Administration study shows that women soldiers on-average are
handling combat stress just as well as their male comrades. Women are
still barred from direct combat roles, but the random nature of warfare
in Iraq and Afghanistan has put many female troops in the line of fire
regularly. Source Link
