| Ultrafit: Male athletes wax effusive about shaving - their legs

A Cuddle Helps Pretermers Bounce Back From Pain
Research published in the open access journal BMC Pediatrics suggests that very preterm babies, born between 28 and 31 weeks, could benefit from skin-to-skin cuddling with their mother before and during painful procedures such as a heel lance.
Celeste Johnston of McGill University, Montreal, Canada and colleagues have already shown that skin-to-skin contact, known as kangaroo mother care (KMC) helps babies born at 32 to 36 weeks to recover from pain. They hoped to determine whether KMC could reduce pain and aid recovery in even younger preterm babies born at 28 to 31 weeks. It was previously thought that such young babies were not developed enough to benefit from comfort strategies.
They carried out a randomized crossover trial to see whether such babies could bounce back from pain following a heel lance blood test, which involves pricking the baby's heel to obtain a blood sample.

Heather Mills launches new attack on Sir Paul McCartney — and lawyer
After the way the world reacted to her divorce settlement with Sir Paul McCartney, Heather Mills might have been expected to keep a low profile. Today, though, the woman who only weeks ago claimed she wanted to close a chapter on her life gave scribes something new to write about, with another explosive appearance on breakfast television. The former model admitted throwing water over Sir Paul's lawyer, Fiona Shackleton, at the end of their divorce battle, saying that she did so in order to "cleanse and baptise" her after she muttered something under her breath. And she taunted Sir Paul about his new love life, claiming he was currently dating three women and adding: "I wish all the girls the best of luck." .
