Ligaments and Tendons: What's the Diff?
People often talk about tendons and ligaments as if they are the same thing, but these two types of soft tissue actually perform different functions for the body.

Is the War on Drugs Being Waged From the Wrong Battlefront?
Just consider me Mary Poppins this morning: a little sweet Prince William to help the War on Drugs go down. The Prince is on the front lines of the battle — the warship the Prince is serving on just seized $80 million worth (almost two tons) of cocaine from a speedboat just north of Barbados.
