| Nicole Kidman Is Pregnant
For Kidman, 40, this will be her third child. She and her former husband, Tom Cruise adopted two children during their marriage: Isabella, now 15, and Connor, 12. As for where Kidman and Urban, 40, who will be a first-time parent, may bring up their impending arrival, the couple, though both from Down Under, purchased a farm near Leipers Fork, Tenn., a half-hour southwest of Nashville, in 2007. The couple, who have been married 18 months, wed, after a yearlong courtship, on June 25, 2006, in a candlelit ceremony at Sydney, Australia's Cardinal Cerretti Memorial Chapel on St. Patrick's Estate at Manly. Guests at the black-tie event included Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman, Naomi Watts and Rupert Murdoch. Before the couple even started dating, Kidman made her desire for more children clear. In April 2005, she told reporters that her biological clock was ticking.
New rapid Chlamydia test could enable 'test and treat' strategy
Wellcome Trust-funded researchers have successfully completed the clinical trial for a new rapid test for the sexually transmitted infection Chlamydia. The researchers believe the test, which is able to detect Chlamydia in less than 30 minutes � and often much faster � could be a valuable addition to screening programmes already in place, as well as providing a crucial diagnostic test in the developing world. .
Online Opinion Poll
The CDC recently reported a rise in the teen birth rate. Many wonder why when we are learning about filed contraceptive measures at school are those same schools handing out condoms. Doing so is likened to a story my grandfather always told me, "It’s like giving a kid candy and telling them it’s not good for them and they shouldn’t eat it, but here it is just in case you get a craving for some. Wouldn’t we wonder why so many kids are eating candy?" It’s like giving teenagers the keys to your sports car and a six pack and telling them to be good and not get into trouble or wreck the car. Let’s stop promoting unclear messages and let our children know that the only safe way and the best way is abstinence. It encourages healthy choices and healthy life styles.
