        <title><![CDATA[  Sex Please, We're Drunk ]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Young people intentionally binge on booze and drugs to improve their sex lives, according to new research.  A third of European men under the age of 36 and a quarter of women said they drank to increase their chance of sex&mdash;and were more likely to engage in unsafe sex when they were high, reports the BBC. Cocaine, ecstasy, and marijuana were used to enhance arousal or prolong sex, according to the study published in BMC Public Health.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Ceramic artificial hips are far more durable than their metal and plastic counterparts&mdash;but frustrated patients are complaining that they squeak. It's embarrassing. &ldquo;It can interrupt sex when my wife starts laughing,&rdquo; said one. But some doctors fear it could be a sign that the ceramic replacements aren&rsquo;t as durable as advertised, the New York Times reports.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[A swimmer in Florida needed 20 stitches to her face after a pelican diving for a fish slammed into her. The big bird died in the collision near Tampa. &quot;It was like I got punched in the face, super hard. Blood was gushing out,&quot; said the Ohio housecleaner who was on vacation. It was the first known case of such an encounter, officials said. Pelicans weigh as much as 30 pounds and dive from heights of 70 feet.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Spanish health officials are opening a virtual clinic in the popular online world Second Life, where they plan to advise teens who are too shy to consult flesh-and-blood doctors, the Guardian reports. It will appear as a consultation room for now, but officials hope to expand the service and eventually &ldquo;deal with problems of dermatology and psychology through a webcam,&quot; one doctor said.]]></description>

        <title><![CDATA[ Illegal Workers Must Rely  on Healers, Home Remedies]]></title>
        <description><![CDATA[Faced with high medical costs and fearing deportation, many illegal immigrants avoid doctors and instead seek their cures among traditional healers, the New York Times       reports. With an estimated two-thirds of illegal immigrants uninsured, visits to a doctor are often reserved for emergencies. Instead, the immigrants&mdash;most of whom toil in demanding jobs where injuries are common&mdash;turn to herbal remedies and incantations, or substitute massages for more substantive care.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[An answer to the world's energy crisis might be a breeze, the Economist reports&mdash;specifically, a breeze offshore. With wind blowing twice as fast offshore than on, engineers have been racing to develop technology to &quot;float&quot; wind turbines far out in the ocean&mdash;where they won't ruin coveted views from shore. They cost 50% more to build, but they generate five times as much power as landed cousins.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Burma says it warned its people of Cyclone Nargis 5 days before landfall, when it learned of the storm over news wires&mdash;but one expert believes Burma's media outlets were too primitive to spread the message. With Burma's death toll as high as 100,000, Newsweek talked to a global weather analyst about the warning that failed to reach Burma's people.]]></description>
