1. Jason Chalker's looking for commissions, starting at $30.
2. Supposedly John C. Reilly is the front runner for to play Haymitch in The Hunger Games. Too bad, I thought Russel Crowe would have been perfect. (Like an informal sequel to Gladiator.)
3. The University of Maryland's medical school is teaching homeopathy?

Assistant City Attorney Anne Tremblay says these graffiti writers — all associated with the MTA tagging crew — have an unfair advantage over legitimate artists because they gained notoriety through crime.

Electronic faucets may be touch-free, but they are far from germ-free. In a new study, researchers at The Johns Hopkins School of Medicine report finding higher levels of disease-carrying bacteria on hands-free faucets compared to conventional, manually operated faucets.Via these sites.

Like many of the nation’s 48,000 psychiatrists, Dr. Levin, in large part because of changes in how much insurance will pay, no longer provides talk therapy, the form of psychiatry popularized by Sigmund Freud that dominated the profession for decades. Instead, he prescribes medication, usually after a brief consultation with each patient.Via.

1. Funny headline: "Homeopathy's Ineffectiveness Saves Lives." (As a demonstration, people ingested what should have been massive overdoses of "medication." But since the "medications" were homeopathic, they contained no active ingredients and had no ill effects.)
2. Even funnier, Zach Galifianakis's latest Between Two Ferns.
3. Conan O'Brien aired hilariously offensive mock Groupon commercials.

1. Check out the remarkable face on this caterpillar. (I don't think it's photoshopped?)
2. Lady on a motorbike.
3. Anyone received a letter like this? Anthem Blue Cross sent us a letter that simply says, "Our records show that your child may not have received an immunization that is included in a recently updated shot schedule. We've included a postcard that serves as a reminder to schedule an appointment with your child's health care provider." The letter does not tell us which shot they think we might have missed. And the "postcard" is a promotional insert from Pfizer that emphasizes the importance of vaccines.
