Study of hospitals puts price tag on California's dirty air
California's dirty air led to nearly $200 million in hospital spending over a three-year period – including $9 million in Sacramento County – because of asthma, pneumonia and other pollution-triggered ailments, according to a study released today.

You Asked: Running in Polluted Air
Hi FitSugar, Has the topic of running and pollution been raised recently? I live in Los Angeles and gave up running in the morning because my lungs would burn afterward and I'd be coughing the rest of the day. I wouldn't have the symptoms when I ran before rush hour, at night, or at the gym.
DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons
DENIED: Bigotry of the Obamatrons by Charles Winecoff Recently, at the office (a place I sometimes affectionately refer to as Obama Central), I made the mistake of printing out a Washington Post editorial that questioned the foreign policy expertise of our new Commander-in-Chief.

The approach of flu season sends many people scurrying for vaccinations and vitamins. But what if you could avoid the flu and other viruses simply by getting dressed? That’s the idea behind two garments that are part of the “Glitterati” clothing line designed by Olivia Ong, a senior design major at Cornell University.
If you could only wear one brand of eyeshadow for the rest of your life, what would it be?
I'm totally hooked on Urban Decay. I still only have a handful but my collection is growing.
I just went to the mall to replace a pair of jeans that a certain evil puppy chewed a hole in, and as I was walking past Sephora, I just HAD to walk in.
