There was a time in America when journalists were considered the public’s watchdogs to keep tabs on errant politicians and businessmen who paid for political favors whether from the local police chief or the Congressional representative for the district. The so-called “Fourth Estate” was the name of print journalism although these days it refers to mass media whether it is newspapers, magazines, or television, and their task was to keep watch over the politicians by reporting every story accurately to maintain a semblance of transparency in government. For many Americans, the only political news they hear is during the evening network news and the entirety of their understanding of the issues of the day are what they hear during those 5 minute segments. There are some people who still read newspapers, but unless they live in a major metropolitan market, the only exposure to politics is what the local paper chooses to put on page one or on the editorial page with readers’ letters.

At least a dozen people in 10 states have been sickened by raw, frozen turkey burger products produced by the Jennie-O Turkey Store in Willmar, Minn. The firm recalled nearly 55,000 pounds of the meat last week after illnesses were reported, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Late Monday, CDC officials announced that the strain of Samonella Hadar found in the meat appear to be resistant to several common antibiotics, including ampicillin, amoxicillinRead ahead
If given the choice between eating a hot dog or enjoying some rotisserie chicken, you may want to consider the hot dog. That’s because hot dogs, as well as pepperoni and deli meats, are relatively free of carcinogenic compounds, according to Kansas State University research. J. Scott Smith, professor of food chemistry, and a K-State research team have been looking at such ready-to-eat meat products to determine their levels of heterocyclic amines, or HCAs. These are carcinogenic compounds found in meat that is fried, grilled or cooked at high temperatures. Studies have shown that humans who consume large amounts of HCAs in meat products have increased risk of stomach, colon and breast cancers. Ready-to-eat meat products are meat or poultry products that come in edible forms and don’t need additional preparation or cooking. Read ahead

DENVER — A Colorado hospital announced Friday that it has temporarily suspended live donor liver transplants while it investigates the death of a South Dakota man who donated part of his liver to his brother. The death would be Colorado’s first of a live liver donor and the fourth in the country if it’s ruled it was a result of the procedure, according to the United Network of Organ Sharing. The University of Colorado Hospital, which performed its first successful live donor liver transplant in 1997, is continuing other transplants but is “taking a step back” from live donor liver transplants following the death of 34-year-old Ryan Arnold of Watertown, S.D., a hospital spokeswoman said Friday. “If there’s something that needs to be corrected, we will correct it,” spokeswoman Erika Matich said. The hospital has conducted 141 successful live donor liver transplants. Ryan Arnold died Aug. 2, four days after the surgery in which he gave part of his liver to his brother Chad, 38, who lives in suburban Denver. Chad Arnold was home briefly but was readmitted to a Denver-area hospital to continue his recovery from a liver disease. “I think overall his attitude is to make his life count,” said Rod Arnold, 42, referring to how his brother Chad is holding up. UNOS spokesman Joel Newman said the living donor liver transplants are relatively rare in the U.S., where the procedure has been conducted 4,126 times since 1989. … Read ahead

Newlyweds Ty and Mike Kelty of Atlanta were consolidating their kitchens when the issue of expiration dates erupted. Ty has a looser view of how long food is good beyond the date on the packaging. Mike occasionally has let something slide a day, but after that, ‘’even if it’s a whole gallon of milk, I’m throwing it out,’’ he says. So her old rice and flour were tossed. “The stuff that went back to 2007 and 2008, it had to go,’’ he says. Most Americans are like Mike. A new survey found that three in four U.S. consumers believe certain foods are unsafe to eat after the date on the packaging has passed. But experts say that if most foods are stored properly, they can be safe for days after the ‘use by’ date. The recently released survey was sponsored by ShelfLifeAdvice.com, a food storage reference website that estimates U.S. consumers unnecessarily discard billions of dollars of food a year. The Food and Drug Administration says the food date does not equate to safety. “If something is past its date, and stored properly, often it’s OK,” says Ira Allen, an FDA spokesman. Foods that can last far beyond an expiration date with proper storage include flour, sugar, rice and cake mixes, says Michael Doyle, director of the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety. “There’s no reason that dry goods wouldn’t be safe except if it becomes wet.’’ … Read ahead

WASHINGTON — Having good social relationships — friends, marriage or children — may be every bit as important to a healthy lifespan as quitting smoking, losing weight or taking certain medications, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday. People with strong social relationships were 50 percent less likely to die early than people without such support, the team at Brigham Young University in Utah found. They suggest that policymakers look at ways to help people maintain social relationships as a way of keeping the population healthy. “A lack of social relationships was equivalent to smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day,” psychologist Julianne Holt-Lunstad, who led the study, said in a telephone interview. Her team conducted a meta-analysis of studies that examine social relationships and their effects on health. They looked at 148 studies that covered more than 308,000 people for their analysis, published in the Public Library of Science journal PLoS Medicine at http:… Read ahead

1 Ohio school, 4 bullied teens dead at own hand
Sladjana Vidovic’s body lay in an open casket, dressed in the sparkly pink dress she had planned to wear to the prom. Days earlier, she had tied one end of a rope around her neck and the other around a bed post before jumping out her bedroom window. The 16-year-old’s last words, scribbled in English and her native Croatian, told of her daily torment at Mentor High School, where students mocked her accent, taunted her with insults like “Slutty Jana” and threw food at her. It was the fourth time in little more than two years that a bullied high school student in this small Cleveland suburb on Lake Erie died at his or her own hand — three suicides, one overdose of antidepressants. One was bullied for being gay, another for having a learning disability, another for being a boy who happened to like wearing pink. Now two families — including the Vidovics — are suing the school district, claiming their children were bullied to death and the school did nothing to stop it. The lawsuits come after … Read ahead
