Caroline Kennedy Said to Withdraw Senate Bid To Spend More Time With Family

On Wednesday she called the governor, David Paterson, who is making the selection of who should succeed Senator Hillary Clinton. Her concerns about Senator Edward M. Kennedy’s deteriorating health (he was hospitalized after a seizure during the inaugural lunch on Tuesday ) prompted her decision to withdraw, this person said.

Social Networking and The Art of Making Online Friends.

Is it time to finally succumb to all those requests from annoying people who want to be your “friend” on Facebook or LinkedIn?

If you have so far resisted befriending people that you wouldn’t normally call a friend in real life, here’s a good reason to acquiesce: these acquaintances could come in very handy when looking for a job or a new career.

HIV Vaccine in Five Years? Possibly, Yes.

While the list of strong and effective cocktails to treat HIV continues to grow, and more and more discoveries are being made that dramatically – and positively – impact the lifespan of those with HIV and AIDS, the hope for a vaccine – and, especially, a vaccine that has therapeutic effects – has remained just that: a hope.
