The Clinton Foundation’s finances are so messy that the nation’s most influential charity watchdog put it on its “watch list” of problematic nonprofits last month. The Clinton family’s mega-charity took in more than $140 million in grants and pledges in 2013 but spent just $9 million on direct aid. The group spent the bulk of its windfall on administration, travel, and salaries and bonuses, with the fattest payouts going to family friends. “It seems like the Clinton Foundation operates as a slush fund for the Clintons,” said Bill Allison, a senior fellow at the Sunlight Foundation, a government watchdog group where … Continue reading →

Prostate cancer, one of the most common types of cancer in men, is often treated with radiotherapy, however, experts now believe that this form of treatment can lead to secondary cancers. Radiotherapy or – as many call it – radiation, uses high-energy particles or waves to destroy cancer cells. There are different types of radiotherapy. Doctors will decide on the best approach based on each individual case. Sometimes, a patient even gets more than one type of radiation therapy treatment for the same cancer. Now, an analytical review led by a team of researchers at the University of Toronto in … Continue reading →

The southeastern United States has been hit by a series of strange unexplained quakes – most recently, the 2011 magnitude-5.8 earthquake near Mineral, Virginia that shook the nation’s capital. Researchers have been baffled, believing the areas should be relatively quiet in terms of seismic activity as it is located in the interior of the North American Plate, far away from plate boundaries where earthquakes usually occur. Now, they believe the quakes could be caused by pieces of the Earth’s mantle breaking off and sinking into the planet. A new study found pieces of the mantle under this region have been periodically … Continue reading →

Just when you think you’ve heard and seen it all in the Republican campaign then, along comes prom king Paul Ryan displaying an arrogance that makes Donald Trump look like the Dalai Lama by comparison. Millions of American jaws must have dropped in unison when chameleon Ryan casually told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he’s “just not ready” to support Trump. Really? Where do I even begin to address such a remarkable display of unflinching arrogance? How about just stating the obvious — that the litmus-test conservative crowd still doesn’t get it. That’s right, hard as it is to believe, after ten … Continue reading →

Failing to get enough sleep can leave a person ‘functionally drunk’, in a matter of days, experts today warned. They note sleep is much more important than many people realise. Even if a person achieves six hours a night, they are building up a sleep debt, Olivia Walch from the University of Michigan said. Her warnings come as a new study, co-authored by Ms. Walch, reveal the sleep patterns of people across the world. The findings show middle-aged men are the most likely to be sleep deprived, often failing to get the recommended seven to eight hours shut eye. Researchers … Continue reading →

Yes. It’s true. I was on the college debate circuit with Ted Cruz. I spent four years debating for Yale College on the American Parliamentary Debate Association merry-go-round of yellow legal pads, painfully awkward Friday-night keggers, and the infinite silliness that came with fighting for tiny silver-plated trophies each weekend. This week, watching the flameout of Cruz’s presidential run, I can confidently say that he’d have had a far more effective life in politics if he’d remained in the law. My whole college debate experience with Ted Cruz can be distilled into a single, visceral, impression: that of being trapped … Continue reading →
