Yeah, I know I missed it this month. Been busy, some of it quite nice.

My attention span has degenerated. The goldfish in my neighbors' horse trough have a greater. Just numb I recon.

Been writing into the proposal/quote/years of research file for a few months. Burned out as reflected in the last note.

Use of Insecticides Linked to Lasting Neurological Problems for Farmers

New research shows that farmers who used agricultural insecticides experienced increased neurological symptoms, even when they were no longer using the products. Data from18,782 North Carolina and Iowa farmers linked use of insecticides, including organophosphates and organochlorines, to reports of reoccurring headaches, fatigue, insomnia, dizziness, nausea, hand tremors, numbness and other neurological symptoms. Some of the insecticides addressed by the study are still on the market, but some, including DDT, have been banned or restricted.

These findings will be available online in April, and published in the June issue of Environmental Health Perspectives. The research is part of the ongoing Agricultural Health Study funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the National Cancer Institute, two of the National Institutes of Health, and the Environmental Protection Agency.

This was quite interesting. It's from the Telegraph, don't know if you'll have to register with this link, again, they have never spammed me so it's probably still cool to register. bugmenot is still there.


QED: Take it with a pinch of salt

Robert Matthews investigates the debate over high-salt diets

We may no longer spend our weekends watching witches being ducked, but we still seem to need demons to vilify. Ageing crones with crooked noses have been replaced by multinational industries, hell-bent on doing us harm with everything from radioactive waste to dodgy silicone implants.

The latest hate figure is the global food industry, whose brews and potions are widely held to have turned millions of us into lard mountains. Fortunately, we can count on the Government's armies of Witchfinders General to protect us from the forces of evil, and last week one of its most diligent agents, the Food Standards Agency, scored a victory over that cabal of mass-poisoners known as the Salt Manufacturers' Association.

Isn't it fun to watch the airheads in action? Teddy the Swimmer's speach about Abu Grabass was a winner. Jeez, is it possible to retire that useless pile of America-hating pile of carbs? I read a fair amount of his "speech' off the Drudge report. No link. If you want to read crap, go find it. Drudge, same date as the Chernobyl meltdown (19 years ago), one year since the airheads went major media about a hillbilly chick with a former AK user on a dawg leash.

Kinda got a giggle when Dan Ratherknothead won the Peabody for "exposing" Abu Grabass. Soooo Howard Dean! (elliptical) Da plane boss, da plane! Sheesh. Why do "liberals" hate America so much? Jack Kennedy, bless his little corrupt soul, was far more free enterprise than George II. Jack would be dead meat if he was a nom dez daze. Yea, elliptical. Don't like it, don't read it. Teddy the Swimmer has more influence in American law than all of Reagan and the Bush's combined. Socialists always vote for MORE from "them". Sad. The republic has fallen, no chance of it being repaired.
