Magnanimity, vendetta and justice

Did the early polio vaccine cause cancer??
2007-06-08 14:30:00 In October 1960, Dr. Bernice Eddy gave a talk to the Cancer Society in New York without warning her employer, the National Institutes of Health, in advance. She startled the attendees by announcing that she had examined cells from monkey?s kidneys in which the polio virus to be used in polio vaccines was grown, and had found they were infected with cancer causing viruses. She had decided on her own initiative to test extracts by innoculating newborn hamsters, since these animals developed tumors with a type of virus she and Dr. Sarah Stewart had previously discovered in mice and named polyoma virus (one of the early known cancer-causing viruses, it was later named the SE (Stewart-Eddy) Polyoma Virus in their honor.)The inoculated hamsters developed tumors similar to those induced with polyoma virus. Her inference was clear: There were cancer-causing monkey viruses in the polio vaccine. She warned an epidemic of cancer in America was in the making. When the word got back to her NIH ...

Causes of Folliculitis
2007-06-06 07:04:00 What is folliculitis? It is the inflammation of hair follicles, caused by more than a few factors. The folliculitis causes are of two types - infectious folliculitis and non-infectious folliculitis. The first one is more common than the latter. You will obtain it from hair damage caused by rubbing from clothing, shaving, physical injury etc. The infections one you will acquire when oils and greases applied to the skin clog up the hair follicles and lead to non-infectious folliculitis. Talking of sudden hair loss, one healing method that I found interesting is traction alopecia treatment. It is a simple treatment if you apply it in the early ages. For example, you can just modify your hairstyle putting excessive strain on your roots.
Why pick on Israel? Because its actions are wrong
2007-06-06 01:14:00 Written by Steven Rose Academic freedom, it appears, applies to Israelis but not to PalestiniansThe University and College Union annual congress last week voted by a two-thirds majority to organise a campus tour for Palestinian academic trade unionists to explain why they had called for an academic and cultural boycott of Israel, and to encourage UCU members to consider the moral implications of links with Israeli universities. Not surprisingly, this overwhelming vote met with a roar of hostility from what we have learned to call the Israel lobby. Our government, long accustomed to sitting on its hands when any serious attempt to censure Israel is made, predictably joined the chorus. More surprisingly, the Independent's editorialist and its columnist Joan Smith followed along. The boycott, we are told, damages academic freedom, picks on Israel, and encourages anti-Semitism on British campuses.Entirely suppressed in this h...

Mainly, Because Cheney Will Tell Him To
2007-06-05 20:54:00 I predict here and now that Dubya will pardon I. Lewis ?Scooter? Libby, who was convicted today to 30 months in prison (here is a related article).It may be before Libby is scheduled to begin serving his time, it may be sometime after his appeals are exhausted, or it may be when Dubya is mercifully out of the White House.But it will happen.And what will be the consequence? Will Dubya?s approval rating sink to as-yet-untold levels of dissatisfaction? Will that further hinder the prospects of his party to retake Congress and hold the presidency after 2008?Will he actually care?Of course not. And it will be, without a doubt, the wrong course of action. But it will give him even more of an opportunity to thumb his nose at everyone who doesn?t support him as the ?unitary executive? during wartime.That?s why you can ?take it to the bank.?(And oh yes; call it fool?s optimism, but I?ll hold out for the miniscule possibility that Big Time harbors some regret over this, as noted here.

Not so long ago, Mumbai (when it used to be the quaint island town of Bombay) prided itself on its own 'business'. It's lack of 'nosiness'. In fact, 'twas often said (not in positive vein), that people could 'scrap' on the streets here with nary a look from busy passersby. Too involved in their own lives and work to cock a snoot into 'other people's matters'. It was construed as callousness, but it was the wonderful habit of keeping their noses out of others' business'. Then the city becomes more crowded, polluted, 'slummy', hot and filthy and the new generation got more focused on 'other people's matters'. And if media was around, so much the better. So we ha...

Gasoline Prices ? Part I: Immediate Causes
2007-06-04 00:00:00 Introduction As of this writing in late May 2007, gasoline prices have increased by over $0.70 per gallon since March. This is great news if you bought gasoline futures in March, but bad news for most consumers, and the politicians that answer to them. If you knew where to look, there were early indications of trouble brewing last winter. By February to early March there were definite signs pointing toward an impending problem ? over 2 months before this became a "crisis" in the view of the public. On March 9, 2007 I warned that gasoline supplies "could pose problems in the coming weeks" and "higher gasoline prices will be the norm rather than the exception in upcoming years." So, how did this situation happen? In Part I, I will discuss the short term causes that have resulted in the current supply crunch, and explain what factors potentially signal higher prices. In Part II, I will address longer term factors and policy decisions that have contributed to the problem. [break] Gougin...

Injuries the Cause for Lack of Trades?
2007-05-30 12:52:00 When Tim asked me to cover MLBTR.com today, in exchange for 20,000 Schrutebucks my first reaction was "Sure, why not? It's not as if there is anything to write about anyway..." To many a baseball fan, it certainly seems as if there is little to no discussion of trades to be had anywhere. If you are like me, you always wonder what might be going on behind the scenes that the average fan doesn't hear about. I always assume that even though nothing is leaking out, surely MLB's general managers are scheming and exchanging clandestine phone calls and emails. After all, many of the trades that come about are ones that we never saw coming But if Pat Gillick is to be believed in a recent interview with Sports Radio 950 in Philadelphia, then where there is no smoke, there really is no fire at all. Show host Jody MacDonald, asked Gillick how much discussion of trades was going on around the league, not just as it pertains to the Phillies, but in general.&n...

The Idiot File: Michael Vick: Why Does America Honor Him, Because He Throws
2007-05-29 22:52:00 Millions of people, young and old alike, want to be like Michael Vick. As well, in whatever city you travel into, there?s bound to be someone who has a Michael Vick jersey on, or at minimum has a Atlanta Falcon?s cap on. Now, whatever dignity Michael Vick may have left is slowly evaporating. From ESPN: In a weekend interview with ESPN's "Outside the Lines," a source who said he's been involved in dog fighting for more than 30 years referred to Vick as one of the "heavyweights" of the dog fighting world. "He's a pit bull fighter," the source said of Vick. "He's one of the ones that they call 'the big boys' -- that's who bets a large dollar. And they have the money to bet large money. As I'm talking about large money -- $30,000 to $40,000 -- even higher. He's one of the heavyweights." If any of this is true, he may go down as one of the creepiest athletes who I have seen a long while. I?m a pet owner (I have a beagle), and to send animals out to fight, no matter what th...
