A doctor's blog should do no harm

Article Abstract:

Physicians should avoid giving personal advice on their blogs because they run the risk of lawsuits even if there are disclaimers on the site. A person who uses dummy personal data on free email services is highly unlikely to be banned from the service but using these for illegal purposes could be a reason for the account to be traced.

Plastic packaging

Article Abstract:

Opening plastic "clamshell" packaging have resulted to nearly 6,500 emergency room admissions in 2004. Despite this, stores keep using this packaging because it prevents shoplifting and lets them display the items better. Manufacturers are also reluctant to invest in new packaging machines.
