>>Why couldn’t one use whey in place of the buttermilk in the soups?
<<
Sure can - I do...
I use powdered whey along with anything that calls for milk or cream in cooking. Adds nutrients and is pretty inexpensive too. It also works well with baking powder like milk does for biscuits, cakes, etc.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A day after saying big U.S. banks probably needed to raise only one-fourth the capital demanded by the government, Standard & Poor’s said the nation’s banking crisis has “merely entered a new phase” and might not end before 2013. The credit rating agency said the industry is being propped up by hundreds of billions of dollars of government support, especially for lenders considered too important to the financial system to fail.

Jim Rogers: Food Prices Will Skyrocket
Wednesday, May 13, 2009 12:21 PM
By: Dan Weil
http://moneynews.newsmax.com/streettalk/rogers_food_prices/2009/05/13/213898.html
Renowned investor Jim Rogers says that the rally in stocks and the
dollar will soon end, thanks to the Federal Reserve’s massive easing policy.
“I’m not buying shares anywhere,” he tells Bloomberg TV.
“I’m not selling short yet. But.if it keeps going like this, I’ll have
to start selling short eventually. I don’t see the stock market as a great
place to be in the next two to three years, maybe even the next decade.”
As for the dollar, “we’re going to have a currency crisis probably
this fall or the fall of 2010,” Rogers says.
“It’s been building up for a long time. We’ve had a huge rally in the
dollar, an artificial rally. .
The U.S. dollar is a very flawed currency.”
Bonds also are overvalued, he says.
And where does Rogers see investment opportunities? Commodities, as he
has argued for months.

ATTRA Site Provides Organic EQIP Information
http://attra.ncat.org/eqip/
A new page on the ATTRA website provides information on accessing funds in the Environmental Quality Incentive Program (EQIP) Organic Initiative for Conversion or Expansion. Last week USDA-NRCS announced $50 million targeted specifically for organic production. Applications for the Organic EQIP are being accepted until May 29, 2009. This site provides information about the program, important contacts, and other helpful documents.
Researchers To Study Health of Organic Cows
http://www.extension.org/pages/Universities_Study_Health_of_Organic,_Conventional_Dairy_Cows_with_$1_Million_Grant
Three universities have launched a four-year study with nearly $1 million in funding that will examine the impact that organic and conventional management practices have on the health of cows at 300 dairy farms in New York, Oregon and Wisconsin. Researchers from Oregon State University, Cornell University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison aim to find correlations between management practices, incidences of diseases and the amount of milk produced. ‘There’s not much data about the health of cows on organic dairy farms in the United States,’ said dairy specialist Mike Gamroth of Oregon State University. ‘So this study will answer a lot of questions.’

NCAT Releases Two Livestock Project Reports
NCAT has released reports on two recently completed livestock projects. ‘Building a Montana Organic Livestock Industry’ was a study of the cost of production of and marketing possibilities for certified organic and grass-finished beef. The report is based on data from Montana certified organic and grass-finished beef producers who are members of the Montana Organic Producers Cooperative. The second report, ‘Natural Livestock Feasibility Study: Eastern Sierra, California’, was a study for the development of a regional alternative livestock market in the eastern Sierras of California. The study includes a survey of livestock producers and livestock product retailers. Also included is discussion of mobile and stationary meat processing development. For more information on these projects, or to obtain a copy of the reports, contact Jeff Schahczenski at jeffs@ncat.org or call the ATTRA line at 1-800-346-9140.

Architectural design competition submissions highlight urban agriculture
How far we have come - urban farming entering the mainstream design and planning
world! These urban agriculture submissions would have been unheard of just a few
years ago! (Mike)
Form Shift: an architectural ideas design competition
The Architectural Institute of British Columbia and the City of Vancouver - a jointly-sponsored
open ideas competition.
Over the past 20 years, the approach to community planning, zoning, density, transportation
and housing in Vancouver has yielded substantial improvements. Continued improvement,
however, requires ongoing innovation and creativity. Good intentions need to be
reflected in tangible urban design.

I gradually noticed that the old rule of one up and one down was no longer working.
LOL, I expected you to get excited at the word chocolate, but not that you would eat the soap.
That is what you eat when you use cuss words.

Not a surprise, it was too mixed to not be man made.
Either an accident or plain terrorism.
When I made goat cheese, I used the whey in cooking or to soak the grains for the poultry and hogs.
We kept a barrel for grain and whey or old milk , our pork was so sweet and tender, that I still cannot stand the taste of store bought pork.
We could get almost free barley, from where they unloaded the grain cars for the cattle feed lots, they spill it in hooking up the unloader conveyor belts.
The milk soaked grains, and alfalfa did the trick.
Even dogs and cats will eat the whey soaked grains at times, for a taste change.

NOTE TO SUBSCRIBERS TO “RECENT OUTBREAKS AND INCIDENTS”
This will be the last regular H1N1 flu update sent to subscribers to Recent Outbreaks and Incidents. If you are a subscriber to that list and would like to continue to receive updates on H1N1 flu, please visit the CDC H1N1 Flu website to sign up for the H1N1 flu email updates.
UPDATE ON THE SITUATION
A New Virus Emerges
Novel influenza A (H1N1) is a new flu virus of swine origin that was first detected in April, 2009. The virus is infecting people and is spreading from person-to-person, and has sparked a growing outbreak of illness in the United States with an increasing number of cases being reported internationally as well.
CDC anticipates that there will be more cases, more hospitalizations and more deaths associated with this new virus in the coming days and weeks because the population has little to no immunity against it. Novel influenza A (H1N1) activity is now being detected in two of CDC’s routine influenza surveillance systems as reported in the May 8, 2009 FluView (PDF). FluView is a weekly report that tracks U.S. influenza activity through multiple systems across five categories.
The May 8 FluView found that the number of people visiting their doctors with influenza-like-illness is higher than expected in the United States for this time of year. Second, laboratory data shows that regular seasonal influenza A (H1N1), (H3N2) and influenza B viruses are still circulating in the United States, but novel influenza A (H1N1) and “unsubtypable”* viruses now account for a significant number of the viruses detected in the United States.
It’s thought that novel influenza A (H1N1) flu spreads in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread; mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with the virus.
CDC continues to take aggressive action to respond to the outbreak. CDC’s response goals are to reduce the spread and severity of illness, and to provide information to help health care providers, public health officials and the public address the challenges posed by this new public health threat.
Increased Testing
CDC has developed a PCR diagnostic test kit to detect this novel H1N1 virus and has now distributed test kits to all states in the U.S. and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. The test kits are being shipped internationally as well. This will allow states and other countries to test for this new virus. This increase in testing will likely result in an increase in the number of confirmed cases of illness reported. This, combined with ongoing monitoring through Flu View should provide a fuller picture of the burden of disease in the United States over time.
CDC is issuing updated interim guidance daily in response to the rapidly evolving situation.
Clinician Guidance
CDC has issued interim guidance for clinicians on identifying and caring for patients with novel H1N1, in addition to providing interim guidance on the use of antiviral drugs. Influenza antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) with activity against influenza viruses, including novel influenza H1N1 viruses. The priority use for influenza antiviral drugs during this outbreak is to treat severe influenza illness, including people who are hospitalized or sick people who are considered at high risk of serious influenza-related complications.
Public Guidance
In addition, CDC has provided guidance for the public on what to do if they become sick with flu-like symptoms, including infection with novel H1N1. CDC also has issued instructions on taking care of a sick person at home. Novel H1N1 infection has been reported to cause a wide range of symptoms, including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. In addition, a significant number of people also have reported nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Everyone should take everyday preventive actions to stop the spread of germs, including frequent hand washing and people who are sick should stay home and avoid contact with others in order to limit further spread of the disease.
*Unsubtypable viruses are viruses that through normal testing cannot be subtyped as regularly occurring human seasonal influenza viruses. In the context of the current outbreak, it’s likely that most of these unsubtypable viruses are novel H1N1.
U.S. HUMAN CASES OF H1N1 FLU INFECTION
H1N1 Confirmed Cases 05/13/2009As of May 13, 2009, CDC has confirmed 3,352 human cases and 3 deaths in 45 states (including the District of Columbia):

INTERNATIONAL HUMAN CASES OF H1N1 FLU INFECTION
For information about the global situation, see the World Health Organization website.
WHAT YOU CAN DO TO STAY HEALTHY
* Stay informed. This website will be updated regularly as information becomes available.
* Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through coughing or sneezing of infected people.
* Take everyday actions to stay healthy.
o Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
o Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
o Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
o Stay home if you get sick. CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
* Follow public health advice regarding school closures, avoiding crowds and other social distancing measures.
* Call 1-800-CDC-INFO for more information.
For more information on what you can to stay safe and healthy, check the CDC H1N1 Flu website.
