Way to bring baby Beatrice into this, Heather. Trying to win some sympathy points? Paul was warned not to marry Heather, but he did anyway in 2002. They split in the spring after less than four years of marriage and 100s of denials that their marriage was on the rocks. So... who should Paul date next? Let's play matchmaker for the former Beatle: Sheryl Crow: She's single after Lance and has a thing for older rockers -- like Eric Clapton. Maybe Paul and Sheryl will make music together? Geri Halliwell: The former Spice Girl -- who is single -- just had a baby. Maybe she and Paul could get together, change nappies and talk about the good old days they both had with their respective bands. Yoko Ono: Considering they hate each other, this would be the match from hell.
Burke promotes abstinence
Many STDs can cause serious health problems, including pelvic inflammatory disease, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and increased risk of HIV. Johanna Nestor, director of the Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs at DHHS, said President Bush initiated the "Parents Speak Up" campaign in his state-of-the-union speech in 2004, urging parents to talk to their children about waiting to have sex. "The message is to get parents to talk to their children early and often about waiting to have sex," Nestor said. In recent decades, a national political and philosophical battle has raged over whether children should be told to wait to have sex until marriage, or instructed to use condoms to prevent STDs. Republicans have long called for abstinence education, primarily based on moral reasons.
Product designers urged to think green

The standard also advises on new environmental regulations, and provides links to numerous government environment agencies around the world. See also: .
