            <title>Bra Removal Might Cost an Eye, But Save a Life</title>

            <description> In Case of Emergency &amp;#8211; Borrow a Bra from the Biggest Breasted Woman you can Find!

Dr. Elena Bodnar won an Ignoble (aka Stupid) Award for her invention of a bra that can be used for a dust mask for just $29.95.  The fibers on the cups might hold back large dust particles but they are not woven tight enough to prevent bacteria, colds, or the bird flu as many foolishly hoped.  And then you have to share with some other fool?  No thanks!
Bras can be quite utilitarian however, and have been around for over 103 years now!  Thanks Italy!

Bikini Babe Audrina Patridge &amp;#8211; Bingo, Bongo, Blanket, Burger?
If you want to have more sex, make sure you slam a burger down her throat after you have done your thing!  Because, soon after that burger hits her stomach, she starts making insulin.  Insulin lowers blood sugar, but more importantly, lowers sex drive!

Nicole Anderson &amp;#8211; dating diabetic Nick Jonas?  Should we be concerned for her?

Nick Jonas is about to turn 18 next week, so I doubt if the insulin he has to take for his diabetes kills off his sex drive with the ladies!  Is he dating Nicole now?  I am out of the loop, maybe you know?

            <description>How was your 4th of July? Did you have your hamburger and eat your hotdog too? Well, Independence Day was mild for me this year. Just a mix of work, board games and Chinese food. The only fireworks I experienced were the ones I heard outside my front door. But I think that&amp;#8217;s what I appreciate most about 4th of July &amp;#8212; our ability to be free. Free to choose how we spend not just holidays, but time, our thoughts and in general, our lives.
In addition to our site here, other places like Oprah.com have asked users to declare things like their psychological independence and reader independence, respectively. For the 4th, I&amp;#8217;m declaring my right to choose how to spend my days. This means less pressure to do what everyone else is doing, releasing obligation to participate in activ...</description>

            <description>Last night for dinner, we decided to go out to eat.&amp;nbsp; My brother, Dylan, suggested that we try out the new Michael Symon restaurant that opened up near our house.&amp;nbsp; Luckily we have a baby who likes to eat early so we decided to go at 5:00 pm.&amp;nbsp; We managed to get a table and were very excited to see Michael Symon himself cooking our food in the kitchen.B Spot is a place for burgers, beer and brats.&amp;nbsp; They don't have the most diabetes friendly menu, but you can certainly get a tasty salad, or burger on a salad.&amp;nbsp; I got a Sierra Nevada pale ale and the Thin Lizzy burger and we shared the Lola fries and onion rings.&amp;nbsp; All I can say is wow.&amp;nbsp; Every bite that we had was delicious.&amp;nbsp; Rightfully so... the food is cooked in lard which makes it so damn good.&amp;nbsp; Dyl...</description>

            <description>We often talk about happiness and well-being on the blog, or how to reduce your depression or cope with anxiety here. But none of that&amp;#8217;s going to do you a whole lot of good if your life is cut short by making daily unhealthy food choices.
So while I don&amp;#8217;t usually write about general health topics here, occasionally a piece of research rises to the level of demanding our attention. And the research published yesterday linking red meat to a higher risk of death over the study&amp;#8217;s 10 year period of time is just such research.

The study of more than 500,000 middle-aged and elderly (aged 50 to 71) Americans found that those who consumed about four ounces of red meat a day (the equivalent of about a small hamburger) were more than 30 percent more likely to die during the 10 year...</description>

            <title>Another reason for an anti-cancer diet</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1834762&amp;cid=t_139146_136_f&amp;fid=35302&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FWhitePebble%2F%7E3%2F403761554%2F</link>
            <description>The anti-cancer book says no more than 11 oz. per week of red meat. Maybe this is why&amp;#8230;
Nothing like a good 12-yo hamburger:
Karen Hanrahan shares her favorite prop that she shows parents in her Healthy Choices for Children workshop: a McDonald&amp;#8217;s hamburger purchased in 1996 that still looks like it did the day it was made.
People always ask me &amp;#8212; what did you do to preserve it? Nothing &amp;#8212; it preserved itself.
(via wider angle)
Update: Looks like the post got taken down for some reason? Server getting a little melty maybe? Anyway, that hamburger was amazingly preserved. Serious Eats grabbed a pic before the site went down.

            <title>Mega Calorie vs. Reasonable Calorie Hamburgers</title>
            <link>http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1752072&amp;cid=t_139146_167_f&amp;fid=37833&amp;url=http%3A%2F%2Fnutrition.edublogs.org%2F2008%2F09%2F02%2Fmega-calorie-vs-reasonable-calorie-hamburgers%2F</link>
            <description>ABC News recently took a look at restaurant websites and menus in New York City and talked to spokes people for various restaurants and fast food chains to determine which fast food burgers one can eat if you are on a diet, and which ones will force you to the gym.
They only looked at the calories for each of the hamburgers which for some may be half of a normal person&amp;#8217;s daily calories. They did not look at the fat content for the hamburgers (which presumably is quite high also).
Lower Calorie Hamburgers
Wendy&amp;#8217;s Jr. Hamburger - 230
In n&amp;#8217; Out Burger - Protein Style (Bun replaced with Lettuce) - 240
McDonald&amp;#8217;s Hamburger 	- 250

            <description>The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service, in conjunction with the Virginia Department of Health, has traced the source of the Virginia Boy Scout camp E. coli O157:H7 outbreak to a California meat processor.As a result of the investigation, S&amp;S Foods of Azusa, CA has recalled approximately 153,630 pounds of ground beef. The 30-pounds boxes of bulk ground beef bear establishment number 20375 and a case code that begins with 06238. The meat, which was intended for food service and institutional use only, was shipped to distribution centers in Milwaukee, WI and Allentown, PA.There is no indication that the Boy Scout outbreak was linked to the Nebraska Beef outbreak. But there may be a tie-in to the E. coli O157:H7 currently under investigation in Massachusetts. That strain of E. coli O1...</description>

            <description>Another multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 has been simmering this summer, according to a news release issued yesterday by the State of Massachusetts Department of Health and Human Services.Six people in three Massachusetts counties – Essex, Middlesex and Suffolk – have been diagnosed with E. coli O157:H7 infections, all caused by the same strain. The victims range between 3 and 60 years old. They became ill during the period of July 10-16. Five were hospitalized.The outbreak strain in the Massachusetts illnesses apparently has been linked genetically to E. coli O157:H7 isolated from patients in several other states and the Province of Quebec. While the source of the contamination has not been identified definitively, ground beef is suspected and USDA has joined the investigation....</description>

            <description>Just like the proverbial (dare I say it?) Jack-in-the-box, E. coli O157:H7 has been springing up over and over again this year.Just about everyone who follows food safety news has heard, by now, of the Nebraska Beef recall triggered by a multi-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7. According to CDC, the contaminated meat was responsible for at least 49 illnesses in seven states. The actual toll was probably even higher.But there was also an outbreak following a reception in Sarpy County, Nebraska in March. A recent outbreak in Connecticut was traced to raw milk from Town Farm Dairy. Two more small outbreak clusters were reported in Nebraska in July. Yet another cluster erupted in the Dayton, Ohio area, also in July.And now E. coli O157:H7 has struck at the heart of that international icon of p...</description>

            <description>He's baaaack!Bill Marler reported this morning that six people in the Dayton, Ohio area have been infected by E. coli O157:H7 in the last two weeks. The cases, apparently are linked to ground beef purchased from three local-area markets.Two of the victims purchased their meat from the Dorothy Lane Market location on Washington Square. Dorothy Lane has recalled all ground beef labeled with &quot;sell by&quot; dates between June 9th and July 29th.Dorothy Lane procured its meat from the same Nebraska Beef plant that was implicated in last month's seven-state outbreak of E. coli O157:H7. There's no information as yet whether the same strain of E. coli O157:H7 is responsible for this current rash of illnesses.There are still some loose ends dangling from the earlier outbreak, most notably in Georgia.

            <title>Nebraska Beef Outbreak: And Utah Makes Seven</title>

            <description>CDC announced this evening that a seventh state – Utah – has been added to those reporting at least one lab-confirmed case of E. coli O157:H7 in the outbreak linked to contaminated beef supplied by Nebraska Beef.The agency now reports a total of 49 cases: Georgia (4), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Michigan (20), New York (1), Ohio (21), and Utah (1). The most recent victim became ill on July 1st. Twenty-seven people have been hospitalized, and at least one is suffering from hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS).The wide distribution of the contaminated meat probably means that other previously unexplained cases of E. coli O157:H7 may eventually be tied to this outbreak. Certainly, the recognized number of cases in Georgia is likely to rise as CDC completes its evaluation of the Colquitt County ...</description>

            <description>CDC finally got the word. In its E. coli O157:H7 outbreak update, released late this afternoon, the agency added Georgia to the list of states affected by the outbreak linked to beef and beef trimmings supplied by Nebraska Beef. That company recently recalled approximately 5.3 million pounds of beef in response to the outbreak.The tally of victims, according to CDC, now stands at 45 people in six states: Georgia (1), Indiana (1), Kentucky (1), Michigan (20), New York (1), and Ohio (21). Twenty-three people have been hospitalized – one with hemolytic uremic syndrome.But there are some discrepancies between the CDC report and information that has been released by Michigan and by the Southwest Georgia Public Health District 8-2.CDC recognizes only 20 lab-confirmed cases in Michigan. As long...</description>

            <description>I know that bureaucratic millstones grind slowly, but this is getting ridiculous.CDC has – at last – posted an update on what began as the Ohio/Michigan E. coli O157:H7 outbreak. CDC is reporting a total of 44 confirmed cases of E. coli O157:H7 in five states: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky and New York. Twenty-one of the victims needed hospitalization, including one patient who developed hemolytic uremic syndrome.All of these cases are linked to beef and beef trimmings that have since been recalled by their producer – Nebraska Beef – and by The Kroger Company, through which much of the meat was sold as ground beef. According to USDA, none of the meat included in the recall is still available in stores; but consumers are advised to check their refrigerators and freezers and disc...</description>

            <description>Health officials in Ohio and Michigan, along with representatives of USDA and CDC, continue to investigate an outbreak of E. coli O157:H7 that has sickened at least 15 people in Michigan and 19 in Ohio. Ten of the 15 Michigan victims have been hospitalized. The identical strain of E. coli O157:H7 is responsible for the illnesses in both states.The Michigan Department of Community Health reported yesterday that more than half of the patients in that state purchased and consumed ground beef from Kroger Food Stores. Officials are continuing their interviews and trace-back activities. Until the investigation is complete, they caution that meat from other retail outlets might also be implicated in the outbreak.Meanwhile, Ohio reported that it has isolated E. coli O157:H7 from a ground beef samp...</description>

            <description>We sit at the table to attempt homework. The table lies in a wasteland, a sea of scrumbled papers, snapped pencils, broken nibs and chewed erasers.  At approximately three minute intervals one of them leaps off the chair, dives down the corridor and escapes out into the garden on a cat retrieving mission. He is oblivious to the rain, barefoot and determined. The hallway is covered with human and pet prints, of the kitty litter variety that harden to cement in minutes. The cat is also resolute, anything to remain outside in the rain so as to avoid the nightmare of homework time. I’m tempted to join him, the cat that is to say.“You can be?” asks the little one.“I can? What can I be?”“You can be my Hamburger Helper.”“?”“HAMBURBER HELPER!” he bellows for my benefit.“Wha...</description>
