Butterball Workers Arrested on Animal Cruelty Charges2012-02-16, ABC NewsPosted: 2012-04-11 18:47:13http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/butterball-workers-arrested-animal-cruelty-char...
Six workers at a Butterball turkey farm in North Carolina face criminal charges after an undercover video revealed alleged animal abuse, and a state employee who tipped off Butterball before a police raid on the farm has pled guilty to obstruction of justice. Butterball ... accounts for 20 percent of total turkey production in the U.S.. Mercy for Animals [is] the animal rights group that shot the undercover video. "Unfortunately, every time we send an investigator they emerge with shocking evidence of animal abuse," said MFA executive director Nathan Runkle. "Before ending up in restaurants and grocery stores, turkeys killed for Butterball are routinely crowded into filthy warehouses, neglected to die from infected, bloody wounds, and thrown, kicked, and beaten by factory farm workers." In addition, Dr. Sarah Mason, a veterinarian at the North Carolina Department of Agriculture, was suspended from her job ... and was sentenced to 45 days in the Hoke County jail after pleading guilty to obstructing justice and obstructing a public officer. Mason admitted calling a friend who worked at Butterball prior to the raid. Though she initially denied talking to the Butterball employee, Dr. Mason later admitted telling him about the existence of the Mercy for Animals video showing alleged abuse. In the video, workers can be seen kicking and stomping on turkeys, as well as dragging them by their wings and necks. The video also shows injured birds with open wounds and exposed flesh. Butterball ... has said it was "shocked" by the undercover video, is taking the animal cruelty investigation seriously.

Activists Call for End to 'Cruel' Battery Cages for Chickens2011-11-19, ABC NewsPosted: 2012-04-11 18:45:39http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/activists-call-end-cruel-battery-cages-chickens...
In the wake of an ABC News investigation into alleged unsanitary and inhumane practices at one of the nation's largest egg farms, animal rights activists are calling for an end to the egg industry's widespread use of so-called "battery cages," in which birds live six to a cage in long stacks of wire cages. "The battery cage system is inherently cruel," said Nathan Runkle of Mercy for Animals, who estimated that 95 percent of the hens used in egg production are kept in battery cages. He urged the industry to adopt more humane methods of egg production, and urged McDonald's, the nation's largest egg buyer, to stop buying eggs from battery cage farms. Undercover video shot by a Mercy for Animals activist who worked at one of the nation's largest egg producers, Sparboe Farms, shows the battery cages in use. "Scott," the activist who made the tape, said that the five to seven birds were kept in each cage, with their beaks cut at an early cage so they wouldn't peck each other, and that each bird lived its life in an area smaller than a standard sheet of paper. He said the birds "can't fully spread their wings, they can't walk around. There were [dead] birds that were left in the cages that were decomposing for weeks or months at a time," claimed Scott. Until the ABC News investigation and the FDA's warning, McDonald's drew all its eggs for restaurants west of the Mississippi River from Sparboe. Just before the ABC News report aired, McDonald's announced that it would no longer get its eggs from Sparboe Farms. Activists, however, are now asking why McDonald's won't stop buying eggs from any producer that uses battery cages.

The Problem with Factory Farms2010-04-23, Time MagazinePosted: 2012-04-11 18:43:08http://www.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,1983981,00.html
If you eat meat, the odds are high that you've enjoyed a meal made from an animal raised on a factory farm. The government designation is CAFO, which stands for Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation. Basically, it's any farm that has 1,000 animal units or more. A beef cow is an animal unit. These animals are kept in pens their entire lives. They're never outside. They never breathe fresh air. They never see the sun. According to the USDA, 2% of U.S. livestock facilities raise an estimated 40% of all farm animals. This means that pigs, chickens and cows are concentrated in a small number of very large farms. There are simply too many animals in too small of a place. CAFO cows eat a diet of milled grains, corn and soybeans, when they are supposed to eat grass. The food isn't natural because they very often put growth hormones and antibiotics in it. When you have 2,000 cows per acre instead of two, you have a problem. You can't fit them in a pasture — you fit them in a building. You don't have enough land to absorb their waste. The manure is liquefied. It gets flushed out into an open lagoon [and] sprayed into waterways and creeks. This stuff is untreated, by the way.
A Single Antibody to Treat Multiple Cancers?2012-03-28, Time MagazinePosted: 2012-04-11 18:32:12http://healthland.time.com/2012/03/28/a-single-antibody-to-treat-multiple-can...
A single treatment to cure all cancers? Scientists may be one step closer. In a recent study, scientists reported that they successfully tested an antibody treatment that shrank human breast, ovary, colon, bladder, brain, liver and prostate tumors transplanted into mice. The antibody blocks a protein called CD47, which normally sits on the cell surface and issues a "don't eat me" signal that prevents the body's immune system from attacking it. About a decade ago, scientists at Stanford University School of Medicine, led by professor of pathology Irving Weissman, discovered that using an antibody to block CD47 cured some cases of leukemia and lymphoma in mice by allowing macrophages to seek and destroy the cancerous cells. In the new study, Weissman's Stanford team showed that the CD47-blocking antibodies may also work against a number of other cancers. The researchers found that CD47 existed on nearly every cell, which suggests that the protein may be common to all cancers. Cancer cells expressed about three times more CD47 than healthy cells. "If the tumor was highly aggressive, the antibody also blocked metastasis. It's becoming very clear that, in order for a cancer to survive in the body, it has to find some way to evade the cells of the innate immune system," said Weissman in a statement. The antibody treatment didn't work in all cases. Some mice injected with breast cancer cells from a human patient showed no changes after treatment. Yet in five mice with breast cancer, the antibody treatment cured them, with no signs of recurrence four months after treatment.
Note: With millions around the world dying of cancer every year, why aren't the most promising treatments being fast tracked? Why did it take 10 years form Weissman to reach this stage? Why isn't the very promising treatment of DCA, which is both cheap and incredibly promising, being given many millions to move rapidly forward?

Microbes may play crucial role in human health2011-10-09, Washington PostPosted: 2012-04-11 18:29:09http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/health-science/microbes-may-play-cruci...
The average person's body contains about 100 trillion cells, but only maybe one in 10 is human. Human cells ... are far outnumbered by those from microbes — primarily bacteria but also viruses, fungi and a panoply of other microorganisms. That thought might make a lot of people lunge for the hand sanitizer, but that impulse may be exactly the wrong one. Researchers are amassing a growing body of evidence indicating that microbial ecosystems play crucial roles in keeping us healthy. Moreover, scientists are becoming more convinced that modern trends — diet, antibiotics, obsession with cleanliness, Caesarean deliveries — are disrupting this delicate balance, contributing to some of the most perplexing ailments, including asthma, allergies, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, cancer and perhaps even autism. These microbial stowaways may wield far greater powers than previously appreciated. Acquired beginning at birth, this mass of fellow travelers may help steer normal development. Investigators are trying to identify which organisms may truly be beneficial "probiotics" that people could take to help their health. One intriguing finding is that babies born through Caesarean section apparently miss out on acquiring their mothers' microbiota. The rising number of C-section babies ... might help explain trends such as rising incidents of asthma and food allergies caused by misfiring immune systems. Obese people appear to have a distinctive mix of digestive bacteria that make them prone to weight gain. Thin mice get fatter when their microbiota is replaced with the microbes of obese animals.

Gregg Williams' speech adds fuel to bountygate fire2012-04-06, USA TodayPosted: 2012-04-11 18:24:07http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/story/2012-04-05/saints-violence-...
Gregg Williams' profanity-filled speech to the New Orleans Saints' defensive players the night before their mid-January playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers included a target list: Alex Smith's chin. Vernon Davis' ankles. Kyle Williams' head. Frank Gore's head. And, according to audio captured ... Williams chillingly suggested that 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree "becomes human when we (expletive) take out that outside ACL." [This] provided more evidence against the Saints on a day when coach Sean Payton, assistant head coach Joe Vitt and general manager Mickey Loomis met with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to appeal penalties for their roles in a bounty scandal that has rocked the league. The audio also raised anew some questions for the NFL. Has the league lost control of what is supposed to be the controlled violence of America's most popular game? And how might the sport be affected by its professional level's apparent disregard for player safety. While Williams' speech ... could easily be criticized for ill intent, it also illustrated the type of macho mentality that has existed in pro football since its inception. A former linebacker [Coy Wire] played under Williams with the Buffalo Bills when players were also paid cash in a similar bounty scheme. "Gregg Williams was part of a culture of relentlessness," says Wire. "It wasn't just him. It was a group of people who wanted to find a competitive edge." In its findings announced in early March, the league maintained that between 22 and 27 players from the Saints defenses from 2009 to 2011 were involved in the bounty program.
Living Seed company takes root from heirloom seeds2012-03-28, San Francisco ChroniclePosted: 2012-04-11 18:21:58http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/03/27/DD9P1NDH6T.DTL&ao...
Two entrepreneurs are hoping to take gardening back to a time when an abundance of plant diversity was the norm. Matthew Hoffman and Astrid Lindo grow, source and sell seeds of rare and heirloom edibles. "What's amazing is 100 years ago, everybody saved their own seed," Lindo said. By 1983, the 408 varieties of peas cultivated on American farms some 80 years earlier had dwindled to 25. Sweet corn saw a drop from 307 to 12 varieties. Hoffman undertook intensive training in New Mexico at the first-ever seed school taught by Bill McDorman, one of the veterans of the contemporary North American seed-saving movement. His enthusiasm was infectious; within a few months, Lindo decided to ... immerse herself in the fledgling business. The couple talked with experienced seed growers and farmers, researched catalogs, and scanned gardening forums and blogs online. And then they dug in and began growing their own seed. McDorman, director of Native Seeds/Search, a Tucson organization focused on conserving the genetic diversity of crops ... is effusive in his praise of the couple. "These young kids are way smarter than we were," he remarked. "Matthew and Astrid are indicative of what's coming, a whole new wave." The couple have ... a lively Twitter feed, a blog and a Facebook page as well as a YouTube channel with instructional videos on seed-saving techniques. The company also donates seeds to school garden programs, urban garden programs and correctional facilities.

Can three minutes of exercise a week help make you fit?2012-02-27, BBC NewsPosted: 2012-04-11 18:19:02http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-17177251
A few relatively short bursts of intense exercise, amounting to only a few minutes a week, can deliver many of the health and fitness benefits of hours of conventional exercise, according to new research. This apparently outrageous claim is supported by many years of research done in a number of different countries. [Welcome to] the world of High Intensity Training (HIT). By doing just three minutes of HIT a week for four weeks, [you can] expect to see significant changes in a number of important health indices. But how much benefit you get ... may well depend on your genes. The fact is that people respond to exercise in very different ways. In one international study 1,000 people were asked to exercise four hours a week for 20 weeks. The results were striking. Although 15% of people made huge strides ... 20% showed no real improvement at all. The exercise they were doing was not making them any aerobically fitter. [HIT is] actually very simple. You get on an exercise bike, warm up by doing gentle cycling for a couple of minutes, then go flat out for 20 seconds. A couple of minutes to catch your breath, then another 20 seconds at full throttle. Another couple of minutes gentle cycling, then a final 20 seconds going hell for leather. And that's it. Active exercise ... seems to be needed to break down the body's stores of glucose, deposited in your muscles as a substance called glycogen. Smash up these glycogen stores and you create room for more glucose to be sucked out of the blood and stored. Like any new exercise regime if you have a pre-existing medical condition you should consult your doctor before trying it.

Farmers Cope With Roundup-Resistant Weeds2010-05-03, New York TimesPosted: 2012-04-11 18:12:49http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/04/business/energy-environment/04weed.html
Just as the heavy use of antibiotics contributed to the rise of drug-resistant supergerms, American farmers' near-ubiquitous use of the weedkiller Roundup has led to the rapid growth of tenacious new superweeds. To fight them [farmers] are being forced to spray fields with more toxic herbicides, pull weeds by hand and return to more labor-intensive methods like regular plowing. "We're back to where we were 20 years ago," said [farmer Eddie] Anderson. Farm experts say that such efforts could lead to higher food prices, lower crop yields, rising farm costs and more pollution of land and water. The first resistant species [was found] in 2000. Since then, the problem has spread, with 10 resistant species in at least 22 states infesting millions of acres. The superweeds could temper American agriculture's enthusiasm for some genetically modified crops. Roundup Ready crops account for about 90 percent of the soybeans and 70 percent of the corn and cotton grown in the United States. However, if Roundup doesn't kill the weeds, farmers have little incentive to spend the extra money for the special seeds. "The biotech industry is taking us into a more pesticide-dependent agriculture when ... we need to be going in the opposite direction," said Bill Freese, a science policy analyst for the Center for Food Safety in Washington. Roundup-resistant pigweed ... could pose as big a threat to cotton farming in the South as the beetle that devastated the industry in the early 20th century.
Note: Few Americans are aware that almost all of the soybeans and corn they eat was genetically modified. And thanks to a controlled media, even fewer know that these GM crops have repeatedly been shown in scientific studies to cause cancer and even death in lab animals.

CDC: U.S. kids with autism up 78% in past decade2012-03-29, CNNPosted: 2012-04-02 21:14:50http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/29/health/autism
The number of children with autism in the United States continues to rise, according to a new report released ... by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The latest data estimate that 1 in 88 American children has some form of autism spectrum disorder. That's a 78% increase compared to a decade ago, according to the report. In 2000 and 2002, the autism estimate was about 1 in 150 children. Two years later 1 in 125 8-year-olds had autism. In 2006, the number was 1 in 110, and the newest data -- from 2008 -- suggests 1 in 88 children have autism. Boys with autism continue to outnumber girls 5-to-1, according to the CDC report. It estimates that 1 in 54 boys in the United States have autism. A child or adult with an autistic spectrum disorder might: --Repeat actions over and over --Not look at objects when another person points to them --Avoid eye contact and want to be alone --Prefer not to be held or cuddled or might cuddle only when they want to --Appear to be unaware when other people talk to them but respond to other sounds.
Note: Children with autistic characteristics were extremely rare until just the last 50 years or so, when vaccines first started.

2 Studies Point to Common Pesticide as a Culprit in Declining Bee Colonies2012-03-30, New York TimesPosted: 2012-04-02 20:59:31http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/30/science/neocotinoid-pesticides-play-a-role-...
Scientists have been alarmed and puzzled by declines in bee populations in the United States and other parts of the world. They have suspected that pesticides are playing a part, but to date their experiments have yielded conflicting, ambiguous results. In Thursday's issue of the journal Science, two teams of researchers published studies suggesting that low levels of a common pesticide can have significant effects on bee colonies. One experiment, conducted by French researchers, indicates that the chemicals fog honeybee brains, making it harder for them to find their way home. The other study, by scientists in Britain, suggests that they keep bumblebees from supplying their hives with enough food to produce new queens. The authors of both studies contend that their results raise serious questions about the use of the pesticides, known as neonicotinoids. "I personally would like to see them not being used until more research has been done," said David Goulson, an author of the bumblebee paper who teaches at the University of Stirling, in Scotland. "If it confirms what we've found, then they certainly shouldn't be used when they're going to be fed on by bees." Environmentalists say that both studies support their view that the insecticides should be banned. The insecticides, introduced in the early 1990s, have exploded in popularity; virtually all corn grown in the United States is treated with them. Neonicotinoids are taken up by plants and moved to all their tissues — including the nectar on which bees feed.

Cage Vs. Free Range Eggs2012-02-01, National GeographicPosted: 2012-03-27 08:51:23http://greenliving.nationalgeographic.com/cage-vs-range-eggs-2872.html
Egg-laying hens confined to cages do not have space to move, stretch or engage in natural behaviors, which causes them to engage in repetitive or destructive behaviors, such as feather-pulling or pecking at their neighbors. Caged hens show more fearful behavior and become prone to skeletal problems because of captivity. Because free-range hens are allowed outdoor access, more space to move around and more opportunities to engage in natural behaviors, free-range eggs are generally regarded as a more humane alternative to conventionally produced eggs. Large numbers of animals confined in small spaces, as seen in conventional egg-production facilities, pollute the air, water and soil with the vast amounts of manure they produce. Animal-based agriculture doesn't have to create a liability for the environment. In his 2006 book, The Omnivore's Dilemma, Michael Pollan described poultry farms where rotating pastured poultry among fields provided enough manure to boost the nutrient levels in the soil without becoming toxic. At the same time, the chickens helped to control pests. In addition to being healthier for the planet, free-range eggs are often healthier for you too. In 2007, Mother Earth News collected nutritional data from the eggs produced by 14 flocks of free-range pastured hens and compared that with data provided by the USDA for conventional eggs. The study revealed that the free-range eggs, on average, contained one-third less cholesterol and one-quarter less saturated fat, in addition to higher levels of vitamin A, beta-carotene, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids.
White Coats, White Lies: How Honest Is Your Doctor?2012-02-09, Time MagazinePosted: 2012-03-20 10:48:45http://healthland.time.com/2012/02/09/white-coats-white-lies-how-honest-is-yo...
Is your doctor telling you the truth? Possibly not, according to a new survey in Health Affairs of nearly 1,900 physicians around the country. The researchers found that 55% of doctors said that in the last year they had been more positive about a patient's prognosis than his medical history warranted. And 10% said they had told patients something that wasn't true. About a third of the MDs said they did not completely agree that they should disclose medical errors to patients, and 40% said they didn't feel the need to disclose financial ties to drug or device companies. Nearly 20% of the doctors admitted that they didn't disclose a medical error to their patients because they were afraid of being sued for malpractice. Doctors' fear of malpractice suits may often be misplaced. Studies suggest that in cases where physicians are open about their mistakes, patients are more likely to be understanding and refrain from suing. So how can doctors learn to be more honest with their patients? More training about how to communicate with people about their health is critical — especially when it comes to delivering bad news. Patients also need to be clear and firm about how honest they want their doctors to be. Communication is a two-way street, after all, even in the doctor's office.

Deception at Duke: Fraud in cancer care?2012-02-12, CBS NewsPosted: 2012-03-20 10:45:43http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-57376073/deception-at-duke-fraud-in-can...
Chemotherapy can be a tough road for people with cancer, often debilitating and even dangerous. Which is why five years ago, when Duke University announced that it had an advanced, experimental treatment that would match chemotherapy to a patient's own genetic makeup, it was hailed as the holy grail of cancer care. The scientist behind the discovery was Dr. Anil Potti, and soon Dr. Potti became the face of the future of cancer treatment at Duke, offering patients a better chance even with advanced disease. However, when other scientists set out to verify the results, they found many problems and errors. Duke's so-called breakthrough treatment wasn't just a failure -- it may end up being one of the biggest medical research frauds ever. Dr. Potti resigned from Duke. He faces an investigation into research misconduct. These days, he's working as a cancer doctor in South Carolina. And if you look online, you will see that he is celebrated for "his significant contribution to the arena of lung cancer research." The websites were created with the help of an online reputation consultant, perhaps to put the best face on the available data.

U.S. panel, cancer groups discourage annual Pap test2011-10-19, MSNBC/Reuters NewsPosted: 2012-03-20 10:34:51http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/44955035/ns/health-cancer/t/us-panel-cancer-group...
Pap smear tests are still the best way to prevent cervical cancer, but women should not seek them every year, a U.S. government-backed expert panel and major cancer groups said. Instead, every three years is a reasonable timetable, according to the Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the same group that recently recommended against routine prostate cancer tests for healthy men. Proposing changes to 2003 recommendations, the task force also said evidence is still insufficient to weigh harms and benefits of tests screening for human papillomavirus (HPV) -- in contrast with the views of cancer patient advocates. However, in a rare show of unity, the groups including the American Cancer Society sided with the panel on the new recommendations and proposed new screening guidelines themselves for the first time, bluntly recommending against the common practice of annual Pap tests. Echoing the panels' recommendations, the cancer groups also said women younger than 21 do not need to get tested. However, despite the task force's skepticism over the effectiveness of the HPV test in preventing cancer, the cancer society and other groups called the combination of regular Pap plus HPV testing the "preferred strategy" for women over 30, if done every three to five years.

Shine a Light: The Suitcase That's Saving Women's Lives2012-01-12, NationalGeographic.comPosted: 2012-03-20 10:20:08http://newswatch.nationalgeographic.com/2012/01/12/shine-a-light-the-suitcase...
In the fight against maternal mortality in the developing world, a rugged, portable "Solar Suitcase" is providing reliable electricity to clinics in 17 countries where healthcare workers previously struggled to provide emergency obstetric care by the light of candles, flashlights and mobile phones. The Solar Suitcase powers medical LED lights, headlamps, mobile phones, computers and medical devices. Healthcare workers using the Solar Suitcase report greater facility and ease in conducting nighttime procedures. Improved lighting allows health workers to identify and treat complications such as obstetric lacerations and hemorrhage, nurses to locate and administer intravenous medication, and emergency Caesarean sections to be performed 24 hours a day. Solar-powered mobile phones allow on-call doctors to be alerted when obstetric emergencies require surgery. With augmentation, the solar suitcase powers blood bank refrigeration, permitting life-saving transfusions to occur without delay. An estimated 358,000 maternal deaths occur worldwide. Reducing childbirth deaths depends, in part, on providing adequate emergency obstetric care. However, a lack of health facility power translates to an inability to perform life-saving care.
Mercury fillings 'filled' with controversy2011-11-30, Chicago TribunePosted: 2012-03-13 16:25:44http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/sc-health-1130-dental-fillings-20111130,...
Silver amalgam fillings, which have plugged American cavities for more than 150 years, have lost their luster over the last couple of decades thanks to the rise of more attractive tooth-colored fillings and concerns about the environmental and health impact of their chief ingredient: mercury. Although use of amalgam fillings has dropped 30 percent in the last decade, according to the American Dental Association, these fillings are still sitting in hundreds of millions of mouths, and dentists continue to fill some 50 million teeth with amalgam each year — especially in children. Mercury, a known neurotoxin, makes up 50 percent (in weight) of amalgam fillings, which also contain silver, copper and tin. For some dentists, toxicologists and advocates, the fact that mercury has been shown to hurt the neurological system, kidneys and other organs is reason enough to keep it out of people's mouths. "When you plant a neurotoxin two inches from the brain, can you say no one is ever harmed from that?" said Charlie Brown, director of Consumers for Dental Choice. His group advocates that dentists be required to disclose the mercury content of amalgam fillings to patients. The buildup of mercury from vapors 24 hours a day, over a lifetime, is the greatest concern, said Boyd Haley, retired professor emeritus at the University of Kentucky. Eighty percent of mercury vapor stays in body tissue for days, months, even years, because the body doesn't have a good system for excreting it, he said.

A Machine That Sniffs Out Cancer2012-03-01, Bloomberg/BusinessweekPosted: 2012-03-13 16:24:08http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-03-01/a-machine-that-sniffs-out-cancer
A few years ago researchers in California received widespread attention for showing that dogs can smell cancer on a human's breath. With 99 percent accuracy the canines could detect if a person had lung or breast cancer, beating the best figures from standard laboratory tests. Subsequent studies confirmed the results. Technology startups have hustled to build digital devices that can mimic the dogs' olfactory sense and reduce the need for biopsies and CAT scans. Metabolomx, a 12-person outfit in Mountain View, Calif., [is] bringing a cancer-sniffing device to market. The machine analyzes the breath and its volatile organic compounds, or VOCs—aerosolized molecules that, among other things, determine how something smells. Tumors produce their own VOCs, which pass into the bloodstream. The lungs create a bridge between the bloodstream and airways, so the breath exhaled by a patient will carry the VOC signatures of a tumor if one is present. "It may seem surprising, but it's actually very straightforward," says Paul Rhodes, the co-founder and chief executive officer at Metabolomx. Dr. Peter Mazzone, a lung cancer expert at the Cleveland Clinic, recently published results from a trial he ran with an early version of the Metabolomx machine. He studied 229 people and found that the machine could detect lung cancer more than 80 percent of the time. Just as intriguing, the machine outdid the dogs by distinguishing between different forms of lung cancer with about 85 percent accuracy, giving the doctor insight into whether a patient had an aggressive case.
Note: A machine has 80% accuracy in detecting this lethal disease, while sniffing dogs have 99% accuracy. Which would you rather have? For lots more from reliable sources on promising potential cancer-cure breakthroughs, click here.
Why Aren't G.M.O. Foods Labeled?2011-02-15, New York Times blogPosted: 2012-03-13 16:20:51http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/02/15/why-arent-g-m-o-foods-labeled
If you want to avoid sugar, aspartame, trans-fats, MSG, or just about anything else, you read the label. If you want to avoid G.M.O.'s — genetically modified organisms — you're out of luck. They're not listed. You could, until now, simply buy organic foods, which by law can't contain more than 5 percent G.M.O.'s. Now, however, even that may not work. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has approved three new kinds of genetically engineered (G.E.) foods: alfalfa (which becomes hay), a type of corn grown to produce ethanol), and sugar beets. And super-fast-growing salmon — the first genetically modified animal to be sold in the U.S., but probably not the last — may not be far behind. It's unlikely that these products' potential benefits could possibly outweigh their potential for harm. But even more unbelievable is that the Food and Drug Administration and the U.S.D.A. will not require any of these products, or foods containing them, to be labeled as genetically engineered, because they don't want to "suggest or imply" that these foods are "different." They are arguably different, but more important, people are leery of them. Nearly an entire continent — it's called Europe — is so wary that G.E. crops are barely grown there and there are strict bans on imports (that policy is in danger). Furthermore, most foods containing more than 0.9 percent G.M.O.'s must be labeled.

Vets feel abandoned after secret drug experiments2012-03-01, CNNPosted: 2012-03-06 08:46:03http://edition.cnn.com/2012/03/01/health/human-test-subjects/index.html
The moment 18-year-old Army Pvt. Tim Josephs arrived at Edgewood Arsenal in 1968, he knew there was something different about the place. "It just did not look like a military base, more like a hospital," recalled Josephs, a Pittsburgh native. Josephs had volunteered for a two-month assignment at Edgewood, in Maryland, lured by three-day weekends closer to home. "It was like a plum assignment," Josephs said. "The idea was they would test new Army field jackets, clothing, weapons and things of that nature, but no mention of drugs or chemicals." But when he went to fill out paperwork the morning after his arrival, the base personnel were wearing white lab coats, and Josephs said he had second thoughts. An officer took him aside. "He said, 'You volunteered for this. You're going to do it. If you don't, you're going to jail. You're going to Vietnam either way -- before or after,'" Josephs said recently. From 1955 to 1975, military researchers at Edgewood were using not only animals but human subjects to test a witches' brew of drugs and chemicals. They ranged from potentially lethal nerve gases like VX and sarin to incapacitating agents like BZ. The military also tested tear gas, barbiturates, tranquilizers, narcotics and hallucinogens like LSD. Josephs, 63, believes the chemical agents he received during his two-month stint at Edgewood [harmed] him, triggering health problems that continue to plague him four decades later.

How do you order your burger and fries at in n out burger?
What are your favorites?
re: LA Buckeye Fan
OK, gotta ask what "animal style" means . . . I haven't had a burger at In n Out
re: TomSwift
and pickles.
re: TomSwift
Thanks Tom . . . I've learned some interesting things reading through this thread!
re: TomSwift
Drumroll! . . . I had my first In-N-Out burger today - animal style. I rolled right up to the place like I knew just what I was doing thanks to CH advice. The burger was quite good, especially considering the price. I'm picky about any kind of ground meat product . . . but my fears were quelled when I read on the website that they grind their own chuck. So, good! I now have a new place to go for a quick inexpensive meal on the fly:-)
Double Meat with onions or Animal Style works for me. either is a nice balance of bun, meat, spread and toppings.......fries gotta be well done.
re: TomSwift
good choice tomswift...
i have the same..but one protein style and one regular style...mmm mmm gooooood....
I have to get this answer in before there are 300+ responses and my post gets buried in the wave.
Double-double, Protein Style (lettuce wrap, no bun), Animal, plus extra raw onions and tomatoes, ask for the fries to be extra crispy and for the hot chilies. Don't even think of eating this burger in your car if you care about the upholstery and /floor!
Side note: I have been a customer In-N-Out for more than twenty-five years and always thought the fries were meh. Thanks to this board, I learned about the extra crispy option and it has made all the difference.
Cheeseburger, raw and grilled onions. I take out the tomato and give it to my boyfriend. =)
Animal style fries.
Diet coke.
Pretty simple.
Being a former SoCal resident now happily living on the east coast (Charlotte), one of the few things I miss from my Cali days is In-n-Out. They are always my FIRST stop when I head out to the Bay Area to visit my boss and division HQ. Fly into Oakland (or SFO or San Jose), pickup the rental car, and hit the first In-n-Out along the way. Of course, scoped out earlier on the Web site...
DubDub.... that's all I need to say.
Cheeseburger animal style, extra toast, peppers. Fries well done.
My buddy John has a website with the definitive take on In-n-Out's "secret" menu: http://www.badmouth.net/in-n-outs-sec...
And the legendary 100x100 has in fact been confirmed: http://whatupwilly.blogspot.com/2006/...
re: alanbarnes
Thanks for the 'secret menu' link -
I've printed it for future (August 2010) reference.
re: alanbarnes
Ha! Loved the video Alan, thanks! Very educational thread:-) I will probably have to try an animal style burger with hot peppers and some extra crispy fries just to satisfy my curiosity.
I'm absolutely addicted. I order a double double with no onions, light lettuce. I get fries and extra sauce on the side. I sometimes add the extra sauce to the burger or to the fries. I don't mind their fries and I think the well-done ones are a little too crispy.
I think I may try my next one with onions, either grilled or a mix of grilled and raw.
I've had a single patty cheeseburger animal style, which was very good.
Their Neopolitan milkshakes are great. A mix of strawberry, chocolate and vanilla.
This is what I do.
1. Ask the server to put one of those french fry trays at the bottom of one of those In N Out paper bags.
2. Order Double Double "animal style" with extra grilled onions
3. Order fries, well done, "animal style"
4. Request that the double doulbe in No. 2, above, be chopped up and dumped into the paper bag (as described in No. 1 above).
5. Request that the fries in No. 3 be chopped up and dumped into the same paper bag along with the aforementioned chopped up double double.
6. Request more sauce be added to the top of everything in the paper bag.
7. Once you have the paper bag, fold the top close, toss, tear away opening and eat with fork.
8. Wash it all down with a large vanilla milkshake.
9. Go home and go to bed.
re: ipsedixit
...so you are the one I end up behind when I am in line...
re: ArizonaDave
You don't have to know the secret handshake. Just tell 'em what you want. In-n-Out pays significantly more than other fast food establishments, and their employees tend to be happy and accommodating, even when things are a little crazy.
So you can order a "2x4, no spread," in which case the cashier may ask if you want mustard or ketchup. Or you can order a "2x4, mustard only." The "only" refers to the spread, not the other condiments. You'll still get lettuce and tomato, and will be asked if you want onion. Same with "ketchup only."
Now if you want animal style with no spread, you could probably order it just like that, or order a "2x4, fried mustard, grilled onions." There are many roads to Rome...
re: wanderlustre
If you have crossed an ocean or, at a minimum, a continent you want to order:
1. A 4 X 4 Animal Style
2. Well done fries Animal Style
3. A Neopolitan shake.
A couple of essays about In-n-out:
double double, extra lettuce and tomatoes, extra suace, onions both ways and a side of animal fries.
sometimes i do extra toast, but i usually get the above. animal style is good but for some reason i started to sway away from it and order the above.
oh and the occasional 4x4.

George Will: The health care act's Death Star
This plausible judgment comes from professor Thomas A. Lambert of the University of Missouri Law School, writing in Regulation quarterly, a publication of the libertarian Cato Institute. The crucial decision, he says, was four liberal justices joining Roberts' opinion declaring that the ACA's penalty for not complying with the mandate to purchase health insurance is actually a tax on not purchasing it. With this reasoning, the court severely limited the ability of the new health care regime to cope with its own predictable consequences.
What was supposed to be, constitutionally, the dispositive question turned out not to be. Conservatives said the mandate - the requirement that people engage in commerce by purchasing health insurance - exceeded Congress' enumerated power to regulate interstate commerce. Liberals ridiculed this argument, noting that since the judicial revolution wrought during the New Deal, courts have given vast deference to Congress regarding that power. The ridicule stopped when five justices, including Roberts, agreed with the conservative argument.
This did not, however, doom the ACA because Roberts invoked what Lambert calls "a longstanding interpretive canon that calls for the court, if possible, to interpret statutes in a way that preserves their constitutionality." Roberts did this by ruling that what Congress called a "penalty" for not obeying the mandate was really a tax on noncompliance. This must, Lambert thinks, have momentous - and deleterious - implications for the functioning of the ACA. The problems arise from the interplay of two ACA provisions - "guaranteed issue" and "community rating."
The former forbids insurance companies from denying coverage because of a person's pre-existing health condition. The latter, says Lambert, requires insurers to price premiums "solely on the basis of age, smoker status, and geographic area, without charging higher premiums to sick people or those susceptible to sickness."
The point of the penalty to enforce the mandate was to prevent healthy people - particularly healthy young people - from declining to purchase insurance, or dropping their insurance, which would leave an insured pool of mostly old and infirm people. This would cause the cost of insurance premiums to soar, making it more and more sensible for the healthy to pay the ACA tax, which is much less than the price of insurance.
Roberts noted that a person earning $35,000 a year would pay a $60 monthly tax and someone earning $100,000 would pay $200. But the cost of a qualifying insurance policy is projected to be $400 a month. Clearly, it would be sensible to pay $60 or $200 rather than $400, because if one becomes ill, "guaranteed issue" assures coverage and "community rating" means that one's illness will not result in higher insurance rates.
So, Lambert says, the ACA's penalties are too low to prod the healthy to purchase insurance, even given ACA's subsidies for purchasers. The ACA's authors probably understood this perverse incentive and assumed that once Congress passed the ACA with penalties low enough to be politically palatable, Congress could increase them.
But Roberts' decision limits Congress' latitude by holding that the small size of the penalty is part of the reason it is, for constitutional purposes, a tax. It is not a "financial punishment" because it is not so steep that it effectively prohibits the choice of paying it. And, Roberts noted, "by statute, it can never be more." As Lambert says, the penalty for refusing to purchase insurance counts as a tax only if it remains so small as to be largely ineffective.
Unable to increase penalties substantially, Congress, in the context of "guaranteed issue" and "community rating," has only one way to induce healthy people to purchase insurance. This is by the hugely expensive process of increasing premium subsidies enough to make negligible the difference between the cost of insurance to purchasers and the penalty for not purchasing. Republicans will ferociously resist exacerbating the nation's financial crisis in order rescue the ACA.
Because the penalties are constitutionally limited by the reasoning whereby Roberts declared them taxes, he may have saved the ACA's constitutionality by sacrificing its feasibility. So as the President begins his second term, the signature achievement of his first term looks remarkably rickety.

Salt-and-Pepper Shrimp
Crunchy shrimp (thanks for the help, cornstarch!) gets its zesty, floral heat from Sichuan peppercorns. It's hard to believe that a main course this complex comes together so quickly.
Sweet Potato Curry
This one-dish wonder grants you immunity from even the most gluten-averse, meat-abstaining, fat-conscious houseguests. And it tastes as good as ever reheated.
Mapo Dofou
Just a little bit of spicy, salty chile bean paste is the reason this dish packs such an insane flavor punch.
Quick Pork Pho
A few spices (and a cool skillet move) turn store-bought broth into something deeply satisfying.
Sweet Peppers
Sweet peppers come in several varieties but in the U.S. the best-known are the bell peppers. They're all members of the chile family but, unlike their spicy cousins, theyre sweet and almost fruity-tasting. At the market, you'll see red, green, orange, purple, and even white bell peppers.

Why Guys Hate Date Movies
Obviously there are some good romantic comedies out there. But to succeed as a movie they must appeal to both genders, and that means taking up multiple unrealistic extremes. In Knocked Up, the Seth Rogan character takes a road trip to Vegas and shrooms with his buddy during Cirque du Soleil (fuckin' right he did!) then grows up and reconciles with his long-suffering girlfriend (awwww!). If you can remember it's just entertainment, great, but that's tough in a movie with deceptively "normal" characters and situations. Study: Romantic Comedies Warp Your Brain
Ultimately maybe date movies should be for firmly established couples only. You wouldn't see Pineapple Express with your boss, you wouldn't see Zack and Miri Make a Porno with your mom, and you shouldn't see a date movie with a date. It's just too damn dangerous. I highly recommend dinner across a tiny square table, with alcohol and maybe some conversation. And nobody's expectations but your own.
Sound Off!

Margot James MP: Coalition for Marriage and churches have deliberately misled on equal marriage
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I watched Margot James in the parliamentary debate earlier. She came across as extremely sensible, reasoned and balanced … unlike her predominantly male colleagues who appeared to be simply ranting. I hope that all pro-gay marriage supporters will make note of who these bigoted homophobes are and make sure they do not get re-elected.
After reading what seemed like hundreds of bigoted views by English m.p.s one could have be excused for thinking all m.p.s in England were nasty mean has beens , so its real good to have gotten that wrong.
I think it is a vociferous few who have made the loudest noises, and grabbing headlines in the process.
She really did give a great performance of a very well-considered speech.
Of course, most of the old bigots who are speaking against the bill are only doing so to appease the old bigots who elected them. These people are simply afraid of losing their seats. At least they'll be able to go back to their constituency parties and say, "Well at least I tried". I do wonder how many of them really are against equality ….
She was wonderful in her delivery and really nailed the ECHR nonsense that her colleagues tried to insert into the argument. I loved that she singled out C4M for derision and rebuttal. Very well done indeed. Thank you, Margot James, job well done.
It has to be admitted that homosexuality is an aberration, for the simple reason that if everybody was 'gay' the human race would cease to exist! Let gays live together as civil partners, if they wish, but their relationship can never be called a marriage for it is utterly unlike marriage in that one vital respect.

CAMERA NEWS: April 9, 2014You don't have to look around at digital cameras very long before you realize that Panasonic and Leica have an interesting partnership. They each produce cameras under their respective brands that look physically identical. Not only do they look identical, but the Panasonic versions use Leica lenses with the Leica brand etched into the rim. And when you go to compare the spec sheets...there is no difference. The only difference seems to be the brand logo and the huge price difference.
For example, at this writing the superzoom Panasonic FZ200 can be acquired new for $499. The Leica V-LUX 4, which is the Leica version of the FZ200, is $899. They look the same and the specs are identical... Read more

I am working on a simple ESB with the following recipe:
7lbs pale malt
1lbs muntons medium malt dme
1lbs briess dme golden light
5 oz Demerara sugar
60 min 1.25 oz northern brewer
30 min 0.5 east kent goldings
5 min 0.5 east kent goldings
o.g. 1.049
Nottingham dry ale yeast
During mashing I had problems reaching the right temperature, probably because I failed to take in to account the low temp of the malt before mashing and temperature of the room , and I ended up having to add way more hot water than planned. In the end I reached 150F, but with a very thin mash.
Went along anyway, and it has been fermenting for two weeks. I took a sample today; gravity is ridiculously low at 1.007, color is too light and taste is watery.
Would it be an idea to add some more wort at this point to try and get some more flavor? I still have a 1 lbs package of munton's medium malt dme, so I was thinking of making some strong wort with that and add it? I still have enough space in my fermenter to add half a gallon or so.
Also still have some 100l crystal I could use.
Good idea, bad idea?
I wouldn't fool with it. The 3 problems are that you didn't use any crystal malt, you added sugar, and that you used Notty yeast--it dries the heck out of beer unless you mash very high.
I recently did a pale ale with notty and a good bit of crystal, mashed at 157F and it still went from 1.060 down to 1.013.
Just let it ride and you'll have an easy drinking session beer. Adjust the next batch accordingly.

Future of Nursing Initiative
I'm writing about using a nicotine patch to treat an adolescent patient ("Smoking Cessation: All Patched Up," Advice, p.r.n., March 2007).* A reader questioned whether it was legal or ethical to use a nicotine patch for a 15-year-old patient, who can't legally buy cigarettes. I agree with your advice.
The Joint Commission requires that all hospital facilities be smoke-free. An adolescent who's suddenly cut off from her cigarettes will go through withdrawal, just as an adult would. Using a nicotine patch lets her focus on emotional and treatment issues without the distraction of withdrawal.
Use of nicotine patches is fairly standard in both psychiatric and addiction treatment facilities. These are highly controlled environments where the patient wouldn't have access to tobacco. The patch's strength is gradually decreased during the stay and is discontinued before the patient's discharge.

British actor Henry Cavill, best known for his role on TV's "The Tudors" , has snagged the highly coveted role of Superman/Clark Kent in Zack Snyder's "Superman" (and not Armie Hammer, Jon Hamm, Joe Manganiello, Scott Porter, Tom Welling… or any other oft-rumoured contender). The 27-year-old inherits the role from Brandon Routh, who played the Last son of Krypton in 2006's "Superman Returns".
"In the pantheon of superheroes, Superman is the most recognized and revered character of all time, and I am honored to be a part of his return to the big screen," Snyder said. "I also join Warner Bros., Legendary and the producers in saying how excited we are about the casting of Henry. He is the perfect choice to don the cape and 'S' shield."
Cavill will be seen later this year playing Greek warrior Theseus in director Tarsem Singh's action picture "Immortals", and opposite Bruce Willis and Sigourney Weaver in the thriller "The Cold Light of Day".
Cavill had been one of McG's first choices to play Superman when the filmmaker was briefly attached to direct "Superman Returns".
No word on Lois Lane yet but with previously rumoured favourites Anne Hathaway and Natalie Portman now solid-booked for the next couple of years it'd seem they're out of the running.
"Superman : Man of Steel" will see young photojournalist Clark Kent traveling the world for the job. Anytime he runs into danger, he tries restrain himself from using his powers. The film will reportedly fix on Kent coming to grips with his Kryptonian heritage.
What do you think of Cavill as Superman? Happy? Pissed?

Introduction from Dr. Laine Scott, Professor of English: Amy Webb, a member of this fall's honors section of ENGL 1101, was recently asked to write a 2-page paper about a current event. All of Amy's work so far this semester has been top-notch, and this effort was no exception to that trend. She did exactly what I asked of her, painstakingly conducting research, maintaining sufficient focus for such a short essay, and meticulously proofreading until the finished product was clean, informative, and succinct. Anyone who has ignored the recent news about the Ebola virus can get a decent overview from Amy's paper. Read her essay here.

6/12/2013 (1 year ago)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
Counter-terrorism experts now believe that Al Qaeda is in possession of deadly surface-to-air missiles which could be used to down a passenger airliner. This shocking revelation came after an Al Qaeda user's manual for the SA-7 surface-to-air missile was found among Al Qaeda documents in Timbuktu.
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
6/12/2013 (1 year ago)
Published in Africa
Keywords: Al Qaeda, missiles, Grail, terrorists, tactics, airliners
TIMBUKTU, MALI (Catholic Online) - A 26 page document found in a facility once used by Al Qaeda, contains detailed instructions on how an operative should use a deadly SA-7 "Grail" surface to air missile. Several of these missiles went missing following Qaddafi's fall in Libya.
The Grail is a heat-seeking missile meaning that it will home in on the exhaust of a jet engine. This makes civilian airliners particularly vulnerable, because they have no countermeasures to defeat such a weapon. A well-placed terrorist outside a busy airport could shoot down passenger plane with hundreds of souls aboard, using just one missile.
If there is any consolation, the weapons are not easy to use and require special training, hence the instruction manual.
The instruction manual was found by the Associated Press reporters who sifted through documents left in an abandoned Al Qaeda compound. the compound was abandoned as the terrorists fled French forces closing in on Timbuktu.
The manual is 26 pages long and has been translated into Arabic, strong evidence to suggest that the terrorists have these weapons in their possession. The missiles were originally manufactured by the Soviet Union.
The manual tells the user precisely how to prepare and use the weapon, and instructs him to immediately changed his clothing to avoid detection after firing the weapon. The manual has been edited by the terrorists to conform to their tactics.
For now, there is no reason to believe that weapons have been smuggled abroad and they likely remain in North Africa where terrorists could be preparing to use them against French supply aircraft ferrying personnel and material into Mali.
Aircraft have already been instructed to make steep takeoffs and landings to minimize their potential exposure to the weapon. The weapon has a short effective range so that it cannot strike high-flying aircraft.
Military aircraft have countermeasures which can defeat the missile, and according to the manual the missile does not work well when the outside temperature is above 110�F.
It is unknown how many such missiles to terrorists may possess.
