Veteran leadership in secondary overcomes short depth chart

Published Sep 16, 2009

Although the Horned Frogs' defensive secondary received national hype for the upcoming season, the loss of Sir Demarco Bledsoe and injury of junior Colin Jones at the position of strong safety leaves the secondary in an unsure position for the 2009 season, head coach Gary Patterson said.

"You lose a Stephen Hodge, you lose a Sir Demarco Bledsoe, you lose a Colin Jones, so now you're down to your fourth safety and you still hold people under 200 yards," head coach Gary Patterson said in his weekly press conference Tuesday.

Claims of torture by CIA justify investigation

Published Sep 15, 2009

Declassified documents refer to cases when detainees were threatened with harm to their families if they did not cooperate and cases when detainees were put through fake executions to frighten them. As it stands now, Durham is only authorized to investigate allegations of abuse of detainees, nothing more.

HPV vaccine just as profitable for men as women

HPV vaccine just as profitable for men as women

Published Sep 15, 2009

Human papillomavirus infection is a sexually transmitted condition that infects the skin and mucous membranes in both men and women. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Web site, there are more than 40 types of HPV that can contaminate the genital areas of men and women, including the skin of the penis, vulva, anus, and linings of the vagina, cervix and rectum. While HPV itself cannot be seen, it can cause genital warts that are not only visible but also painful. It sounds pretty invasive to me.
