My daughter Karen was pulled out of a crowd for an interview on Frontier airline's first flight from Knoxville to Denver. She always looks nice.
Here is what I am reading today:
“Here’s some of the interesting stuff I’m following in today’s science and tech news (follow the hotlinks for the full stories) –
Space, the final frontier…for cucumbers? We are totally missing out on our opportunities to grow space fruit now that we don’t have a space program. Meh. But that doesn’t stop us from appreciating the wonders of outer-space SciFi as Super 8 hits theaters with a few surprising twists: non-cheesy special effects that actually apply to the plot, no product placement, and, gasp, a STORY!”
“The bacterium responsible for the current outbreak of enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) infections in Germany is a strain that has never before been isolated in humans. The discovery, announced today by the food safety office of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, Switzerland, means that the infection could prove unusually difficult to bring under control.”
“his is the first study to examine concentrations of BPA in any animal models after exposure through a regular, daily diet, which is a better method to mirror the chronic and continuous exposure to BPA that occurs in animals and humans. Cheryl Rosenfeld, associate professor in biomedical sciences and Bond Life Sciences investigator, is the corresponding lead author of the study published in Environmental Health Perspectives on June 6.”
“But if you answered yes (like any normal member of the human race), you’re likely heartened by the arrival of vacation season. Just the ticket for a little stress-reduction.
And that can have some big payoffs. It can lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system and help you live longer. It may even make you smarter.”
