(Reuters) A month has passed since the Kansas Board of Education voted to
remove evolution as a key concept in the state's science curriculum, but
the issue still touches raw nerves for people on both sides of the debate.

# Cocaine-coronary link studied. CHICAGO (AP) Cocaine use can promote blood
clotting, which may explain how coke triggers heart attacks in its users.
Cocaine causes blood to thicken by raising the number of red blood cells,
and by triggering an increase in a protein that causes platelets to stick
together. The "double whammy" can cause clotting that can lead to heart
attacks and strokes. "(Cocaine use) is even more dangerous than we had
previously known. Every time a person uses it, it's... Russian roulette."
Fun, tho: http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2561128768-6a0
