Links (most recent first) that caught my eye, but did not warrant full-blown blog entries ….
- Scientists Fool People Into Thinking They Have Three Arms, Doc Ock Not Impressed – Brains are funny.
- When Public Health Budgets are Cut, Someone Still Pays : The Pump Handle – “Failing to invest has a cost, though. If we don’t improve our food-safety system, we’ll keep paying in other ways. Thousands of people will get sick, and some will die. Growers and producers whose foods are suspected in outbreaks will lose millions of dollars and lay off workers as a result. Instead of spreading the cost of a safer system across all taxpayers, we’ll let the costs of an unsafe system be borne by a much smaller number of individuals and businesses.” And Glenn Beck will assure you that’s the American Way.
- There Vill Be NO Teacher-Student Conversation! – Wow. That’s just … nuts. I mean, I can imagine some inappropriately personal or intimate conversations that teachers might have about their families and personal lives — but to avoid any such mention? That’s not only stupid, it’s unfair to teachers and stedents both.
