  8. How to protect the scalp from skin cancer

    As summer heats up, we've learned to slather SPF 15 or higher all over our bodies and faces in an effort to prevent sun damage and skin cancer. We've also been told to recite our ABCs when checking for unusual moles: asymmetry, border irregularity and uneven color. Unfortunately, our scalps are often neglected.

    What's to like about taxes? Most people view them at best as a necessary evil to help pay for robust government services &mdash; a public benefit. But cigarette taxes are an anomaly. In their case, the tax itself is a public benefit. <a href="http://1.usa.gov/Hz2wVS">Proposition 29,</a> which would place a $1 levy on each pack of cigarettes sold in California, would serve the common good by making cigarettes more expensive.
