“The water was not receding,” Mr. Anderson said. “Clearly, there will be issues brought about by the water being stagnant,” he added, saying that eventually the holdouts would have to be moved.

Kids’ Favorite Foods: Healthy Habits Begin Before Birth
Scientists found that offspring of the animals who had eaten only the healthy items tended to choose those same healthy items when they became adults. They were also significantly more likely to have normal weight, blood sugar, insulin, triglycerides and cholesterol compared with the junk-food-eaters’ offspring, who made less healthy choices as adults and were significantly more likely to be fat.
But he adds that moms whose pregnancy fare was less than stellar can make up for lost ground until a child is about 2½. One way is through breast milk, which contains the good nutrients mothers are eating and provides the variety of flavors that will predispose a child to try new foods, says Greene. Commercial formulas, by contrast, are designed to deliver the same flavor profile day after day.
I learned about breastfeeding in one of my classes. It’s cool when things I learn in class are immediately applicable.
Calorie Postings Don’t Change Habits, Study Finds
Just a few things a mere posting ignores:
- The socioeconomics of fast food restaurant patrons
When asked if he had checked the calories, he said: “It’s just cheap, so I buy it. I’m looking for the cheapest meal I can.”
- The knowledge required to understand what calories actually means
- The difficulty of getting people to pay attention
“I don’t really care too much,” Ms. Coates said. “I know I shouldn’t, ’cause I’m too big already,” she added with a laugh.
- The psychology of acting upon new information (given a habit)
Cocaine Vaccine Is Developed, but It Does Not Keep Users From Wanting the Drug
The vaccine stimulates production of antibodies that bind to cocaine and hold it in the bloodstream, preventing it from reaching the brain and other organs.
Interesting. I wonder how specific it is and its effects on other anesthetics.
Several experts suggested that the vaccine might be most effective in preventing relapse in former cocaine users.
A pill for a pill. Good job, Western biomedical model.

Still Confused? A Refresher on the Basics of the Health Debate
Useful simplification for me.
Keeping in mind that the public option is only one part of the proposed reform.
The majority of people already on Medicaid or who have employer-sponsored insurance could not drop it in favor of a new public plan. So, for all the uproar, the public plan would not be available to most people, at least initially.
The fight is really about what it might mean in the future. Because it would not have to earn profits or pay private-sector salaries, Republicans say the public plan would have an unfair advantage and ultimately drive private insurers out of business.
Democrats say the competition would make private insurers more efficient and pressure them to offer better coverage at lower prices.
And the money?
So the new coverage will cost roughly $80 billion a year to insure 29 million people. For context, consider that the government spends more than $600 billion a year on defense, and about $500 billion a year on Medicare for about 44 million Americans, mostly over age 65.
