Cada 33 segundos un menor de 13 años está implicado en un choque automovilístico en los Estados Unidos; así lo señalan datos de la Administración Nacional de Seguridad del Tráfico en Carreteras (NHTSA) del Departamento de Transporte de los EE.UU. Los asientos de seguridad, cuando se usan correctamente, pueden reducir enormemente el riesgo de muerte o lesión. Sin embargo, 59% de los asientos para autos se usan de manera tal que se reduce su efectividad, y más de la tercera parte de los niños que murieron en choques automovilísticos iban sin ningún tipo de sujeción en el momento del accidente. Hoy, NHTSA y el Ad Council revelan una nueva serie de anuncios de servicio a la comunidad (PSA) a fin de concientizar a los padres y cuidadores sobre la importancia de elegir el asiento correcto para la edad y talla de sus hijos, y recordarles que los asientos de seguridad, los asientos elevadores y los cinturones de seguridad brindan la mejor protección a los niños en caso de choque y ayudan a salvar vidas.
“La vida puede cambiar en un instante. Queremos que los padres y cuidadores se preparen para lo inesperado en lugar de enfrentar su peor pesadilla”, dijo el Dr. Mark Rosekind, administrador de NHTSA. “Afianzar correctamente a un pequeño en el asiento correcto es la mejor protección que todo padre puede brindar para que su hijo salga ileso de un accidente en auto”.

Nationally-recognized and long-standing sports announcer Jerry Punch, M.D., is teaming up with Men’s Health Network and Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., a subsidiary of Endo International plc (NASDAQ: ENDP) (TSX: ENL), to launch “Ask About the Curve,” a new educational campaign designed to raise awareness of Peyronie’s disease. Peyronie’s disease is a little-known men’s health condition that can occur during midlife or later. And, while the disease is physical in nature, the impact may also be psychological and could possibly hold men back from talking about it.
Peyronie’s disease, or “PD,” is a condition that can cause curvature of the penis that could be painful during arousal and intimacy. It can affect as many as one in 10 men worldwide, but diagnosis rates remain low because men with PD may be too uncomfortable to speak up and get help. Together with Endo and Men’s Health Network, Dr. Punch is encouraging men who think they might have PD to face their challenge head on by starting the conversation with their doctor.
“As a sports commentator, I’ve witnessed thousands of men on the court, on the field and on the racetrack in their physical prime – cool, confident and thriving in the face of challenge. But, as a licensed physician, I’ve seen how this bravado can turn to embarrassment – even isolation – when that challenge becomes personal or intimate,” said Dr. Punch. “Often, men feel too awkward to talk about issues like Peyronie’s disease, even with a doctor. And while it may seem tough, it’s important that any man with PD see a doctor, and ask about the curve. Starting the conversation is the first step to getting help.”

Spring is around the corner, and it won’t be long before it’s prom and graduation seasons for many high schoolers. Rites of passage for many, these are times for teens to celebrate, but can also be times of poor decision-making, especially when vehicles are involved. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reports that 2,524 teen drivers and passengers were killed and 177,000 were injured in 2013. Twenty-seven percent of these fatalities occurred between April and June, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
“The statistics are staggering, especially when you consider that most of these accidents and fatalities are preventable,” said Randy Petro, Mercury Insurance’s chief claims officer. “We don’t want any families to suffer through the loss of a child, so Mercury is taking action with the launch of the ‘Mercury Insurance Drive Safe Challenge.’”
The Mercury Insurance Drive Safe Challenge kicked off with a free defensive driving program, which included hands-on driving skills training and classroom material. An interactive website provides teens with detailed instruction, as well as gives parents the tools to shape responsible driving behavior.

In honor of the 40th Anniversary of the Judgment of Paris this May, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars will release the 2013 vintage of its iconic S.L.V.

Cabernet Sauvignon carries a small gold band saying “40th Anniversary Vintage,” and releases at the winery May 1, 2016.

Michelle Wine Estates and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. “What the Judgment of Paris did was give credibility. It was a trigger event that gave validity to the quality of American wines.
