To mark the final stage of CUT-it-Out, a Vodafone and
Beatbullying anti-bullying campaign, members of the public have the unique opportunity to bid for an anti-bullying inspired dreamcoat worn on stage by Lee Mead in the hit West End musical, Joseph and Technicolor Dreamcoat. The eBay auction will open at 9am on Monday, 17th November to coincide with
anti-bullying week and run until 9am on Monday, 27th November 2008. To bid for a piece of musical history, log onto http://www.ebay.co.uk/beatbullying
The campaign challenges schoolchildren across the UK to re-design the famous Technicolor Dreamcoat,
illustrating their feelings about bullying and how to combat it. The seven best designs (now available to the highest bidder on Ebay!) were then brought to life by talented graduates from The London College of Fashion. All funds raised from the Ebay auction will go directly to helping Beatbullying deliver
their bullying prevention workshops in schools and youth groups across the UK.

Flip This House decision was "hard to prove"
Richard C. Davis, creator-writer-co-producer and star of "Flip This House," a reality program about real estate and one of cable network A&E's most successful series, was awarded $4 Million in damages by a federal jury yesterday.
Davis had claimed that the network had a "50/50" revenue sharing agreement with him and his company, Trademark Properties, Inc., and although it was an oral agreement, the jury returned the landmark decision after only five hours of deliberation.
"I feel personally vindicated by the jury's verdict finding that I have always had an agreement with A&E. This victory is much bigger than me. This verdict makes it clear that if a network uses and profits from someone's concept for a television show, they need to pay for it. I am thankful that we were able to win one for the little guy," Davis said.

How to stop heart attacks
Despite substantial progress in the diagnosis and treatment of heart attack patients, prevention of recurrent heart attacks continues to be a major clinical challenge.
A new study showed that patients who suffered a non-fatal heart attack within the first three months of hospitalization for chest pain had a significantly higher risk for dying or having another heart attack (in the following three months to four years) compared with patients who did not experience a heart attack during the same initial period.
The findings from the more-than-15,000- patient study were presented today at the annual meeting of the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research conference. The conference will go this week until the 11th.
The increased rate of heart attack and death among patients who had a heart attack remained similar even when the monitoring was extended from a three-to-six month period.

Don't Know Don't Tell Can Harm
Nearly half of all Americans suffer from one or more chronic diseases, many of which are manageable and preventable. Data released today show that many people, despite knowing that they have a chronic disease, such as diabetes or asthma, may not understand the extent or seriousness of their health problems.
And you people know who (we) are. That is right, I do it too.
Sometimes, I just don't want to know.
The data were collected at local health screening events sponsored by GlaxoSmithKline to educate people on the impact of chronic diseases and encourage them to take better control of their health.
Data collected from nation-wide health screenings of 65,000 people found that many with chronic diseases reported that they were in good health. However, results showed that this is often not the case. In a large percentage of those living with chronic diseases such as diabetes or asthma, screening results revealed that many of these chronic diseases were not in healthy ranges.
There is private help for us.
A new offering, available at big5healthcheck.webmd.com, will enable WebMD visitors to assess their own health risks and will provide a personalized self-assessment, with recommendations and an action plan/ doctor's report for the five biggest health risks.
