It's a sound idea that would allow the public to voluntarily contribute pennies each month to be distributed once a year to 18 agencies helping the jobless, seniors, at-risk children and other people in need. The idea from Commissioner Ted Schrader — if it can overcome obstacles from the commission's own staff — is modeled after a similar program from the Withlacoochee River Electric Cooperative.]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[The particles that ferry cholesterol through the bloodstream are popularly known as “bad” or “good”: bad if they deposit cholesterol on vessel walls, potentially clogging them; good if they carry the cholesterol on to the liver for excretion. Now scientists have created tiny particles in the laboratory that mimic those good carriers, scooping up the cholesterol before it can grow into dangerous deposits of plaque. The surfaces of these new particles are coated with fats and proteins so they can bind tightly with the sticky cholesterol to transport it through the bloodstream.]]></description>
