On June 2, 2011, The New York Times posted an online editorial that caught my eye, “The High Cost of Cheap Meat,” in which small doses of antibiotics in animal feed were discussed as the probable cause of the growing concern over an ineffectiveness in eliminating bacterial ‘super bugs’ that are overwhelming our immune systems and the practice of medicine. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/03/opinion/03fri3.html However, this ‘gem’ really sums up the issue: Last week, the Natural Resources Defense Council, joined by other advocacy groups, sued the Food and Drug Administration to compel it to end the nontherapeutic use of penicillin and tetracycline in farm animals. I must admit that was music to my ears. I’ve been promoting that ever since I lear... vactruth.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4968496 Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:41:33 +0100 4968496 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4709248&cid=t_136552_109_f&fid=34750&url=http%3A%2F%2Fpsychcentral.com%2Fblog%2Farchives%2F2011%2F04%2F13%2Fthe-power-of-re-framing-or-would-a-ranunculus-by-another-name-be-as-beautiful%2F The other night, it was my turn to host my children’s literature reading group — I’m now in three of these groups! Partly because I am in three of the groups, I keep the bar low, so I served take-out Chinese food and store-bought cookies, as I always do. But I did resolve to take the trouble to buy flowers for the table (though I must confess, I didn’t even go to a proper florist’s shop, but went to the deli around the corner from my house — lower the bar). When I want to get the flowers, I was thrilled to see that one of my very favorite flowers was available. I hadn’t even known the name of this flower until a few years ago, and I’ve always been sorry that it has such an unlovely name: ranunculus. I was moved to post this observation on Twi...

He’s trying to eliminate violence towards cattle by instilling low-stress ways of dealing with cows. Pate is sponsored by The Beef Checkoff Program, among other beef industry partners, who are hoping to improve the image of the beef industry after a widely-circulated video of a rancher beating cows and prodding them with pitchforks surfaced on the internet. Pate says that if you think like a cow, the cattle will understand you. And then you won’t need to prod them with pitchforks. Some people would argue that farming cattle in ge...

A virion is not the same as a virus. I define virus as a distinct biological entity with five different characteristics. Others believe that the virus is actually the infected host cell. The idea that virus and virion are distinct was first proposed by Bandea in 1983. He suggested that a virus is an organism without a cohesive morphological structure, with subsystems that are not in structural continuity: Viruses are presented as organisms which pass in their ontogenetic cycle through two distinctive phenotypic phases: (1) the vegetative phase and (2) the phase of viral particle or nucleic acid. In the vegetative phase, considered... virology blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3946233 Fri, 23 Jul 2010 02:12:51 +0100 3946233 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3185557&cid=t_136552_133_f&fid=35082&url=http%3A%2F%2Fblog.gbrettmiller.com%2Fcompliance-or-engagement-which-do-you-prefer-for-your-kids%2F Like many parents, I always enjoyed taking my sons to their first day of school when they were young. One year in particular stands out. My elder son was just starting the second grade, his second year at this school. As we walked in on the first day of class, it seemed as if a party were going on. Kids were roaming the halls, teachers and staff were talking to each other and the kids, asking how them about their summer and telling them what a great year it was going to be. Amazingly, they even talked to me, asked me how my summer was, if there was anything they should try to get my son to talk about from his summer vacation. In other words, “we’re glad you’re here, we’re going to take good care of your son.” The next day I took my younger son to his first day... 29 Marbles blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3185557 Tue, 19 Jan 2010 12:44:24 +0100 3185557 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=2464095&cid=t_136552_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2FpjPfPUU8O18%2F Earlier today, Doug Bandow weighed in with some commentary on the problems that Buy American provisions are creating for both Canadian and American businesses. Let me reinforce his view that such rules are anachronistic and self-defeating with some thoughts from a forthcoming paper of mine about the incongruity between modern commercial reality and trade policies that have failed to keep pace. Even though President Obama implored, “If you are considering buying a car, I hope it will be an American car,” it is nearly impossible to determine objectively what makes an American car. The auto industry provides a famous example, but is really just one of many that transcends national boundaries and renders obsolete the notion of international competition as a contest between “our” pro...

He learned 1-10 quickly and easily when he was 2 1/2 and had a certain fascination with 3 (he’d turn a letter E block backwards to make it look like 3) and, sometimes, 8. Letters were much harder for Charlie to learn. So many more of them, too many rhyme with “ee,” and what do you do about b/d/g/q/p all looking just alike enough to be close cousins? (Yes, there’s a letter scarf too, and it’s almost sold out.)

I think last night's revenue must have paid off the mortgage, because the entire city seemed to be in line for the first dinners served!They'd opened a site in Albany and one in Buffalo last year, and so it was our turn. Rochester was clearly next in line and this Los Angeles based chain was well greeted to show the city's appreciation.The restaurant was said to have employed about 200 people in the Rochester region, including builders and it...
