	Why the Centers for Disease Control Hates the Suburbs (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		According to researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and university public health departments, developers are forcing tens of millions of unwitting Americans into dangerous suburban developments that isolate us from our neighbors, stress us out, make us fat, kill pedestrians, and fill our air with auto-generated smog.
		However, despite obesity increasing in American society, CDC's own data and other studies show suburbanites are healthier and more active than city dwellers — even after accounting for suburbanites' greater wealth and other demographic advantages.
		For example, an official CDC report, "Health, United States, 2001," ironically found that suburban women are the group least likely to be obese.

	The Ascension of Wildlife Rabies
		The local department of health laboratory diagnosed rabies; this was later confirmed, and the virus was characterized antigenically at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
		Animals that may be vectors of diseases of public health concern are eligible for entrance only for restricted uses at accredited zoos or research institutions, where contact with the general public is limited.
		Given the problems inherent in wildlife control, the greater issue of extending these methods to the control of dog rabies in the developing world will be a challenge well into the next century.
