A simple mistake? An admissions department e-mail sent from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill congratulated 2,7-hundred prospective freshmen this week on their acceptance to UNC. The problem is that none of the students have been admitted.
They are merely applicants who won't start finding out until March whether they've even made the cut. Stephen Farmer, the school's director of undergraduate admissions, said that two employees accidentally sent the e-mail Tuesday. It began, "Congratulations again on your admission to the University." www.journalnow.com
Cell phones, passengers, fatigue, or worries about grades or relationships could be deadly for teen drivers…concludes a study by the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and State Farm Insurance Company…focusing on teens and distracted driving. Government data (based on miles driven) shows that teens in the US have a traffic fatality rate…four times higher than drivers aged 25 to 69. http://www.healthday.com/Article.asp?AID=601325
Most people with Type 2 diabetes are apparently ignoring their doctors' advice to be active.
A new study found that over 60% of people with Type 2 diabetes do not get adequate exercise…and the more in danger the patients are, the less likely they are to be active. Without exercise, Type 2 diabetics face complications ranging from nerve damage to high blood pressure. Results of the study appear in the February edition of the journal Diabetes Care.
