    Oct 16, 2012

    Dear Dr. Per Cap: I’ve been stung with some charges to my bank account for occasionally spending more than I have in the account. These “overdraft” costs really foul me up.

I still remember that number because my check bounced and I had a $30 overdraft fee. $31.37 for an ice cream cone - no ice cr...

  • Bagley, Blackduck remain hot

    Pat Miller, Bemidji Pioneer|Oct 16, 2012

    BAGLEY – Bagley’s football team extended its winning streak to three games Friday as the Flyers blitzed Walker-Hackensack-Akeley 41-0.

  • Prostate Cancer Hits African American Men Especially Hard

    Erin Marcus, New America Media|Oct 16, 2012

    MIAMI -- Marc Henderson, a 63-year-old African-American airport executive here, isn’t afraid to ask his physician to do a blood test for Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), a screening test for prostate cancer. “I’d rather know early on so that it can be treated, rather than sit around in denial until it’s too late,” he said. “If it’s going to help catch something, I have no problems with it.” Henderson’s views aren’t unusual. For years, doctors have routinely ordered the PSA on men older than 5...
