Very sad. God bless him and his family.
Those scumbags need to meet their maker sooner rather than later!! This next week will probably be very intense in Iraq.
Snip: The syrupy smell that enveloped lower Manhattan for several days in October is back - only this time it moved uptown. Perplexed pedestrians phoned the Fire Department and 311 yesterday afternoon when the sweet yet bewildering odor resurfaced in areas from the Flatiron District to the upper East and West Sides."It seems to be a repeat of what happened in October," said Ian Michaels, a spokesman for the Department of Environmental Protection, which is probing the scent.
Old fashioned remedies effective against superbugs
Snip: Researchers are finding that superbugs, which resist the strongest antibiotics in modern medicine's arsenal, sometime succumb to remedies from pre-antibiotic times. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria have become a major health problem in hospitals and institutions in Europe and North America. Almost impossible to kill, the bacteria cause surgical and neonatal infections in hospitals, spread readily among prisoners and can be found in rugs, air-conditioning ducts, on door handles, floors and TV remote controls. Appearing outside of the hospital environment, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA) can also be easily spread by casual contact via open cuts, brush burns and scrapes, and can quickly become difficult-to-treat and potentially deadly infections.
Yet old-fashioned methods for wound cleansing and dressing, ointments and cleaners offer promise as effective additions to standard treatment regimens.
Lettuce linked to Hepatitis A outbreak
Snip: Unwashed produce can transmit hepatitis A, e. coli and salmonella. “All produce - even those that come pre-packaged and labeled as having been washed - should be rinsed in cold running water,” Fielding said.
Hepatitis A is usually spread from person to person through a fecal-oral route. Thoroughly washing hands with soap and hot water after using the bathroom and before handling food can help prevent the spread of the disease.
UN mad over Dutch anti-Muslim cartoon
Snip: In the meantime, the UN has let the world press know that it cannot decide how to define "terrorism." In that case, its committee has postponed its meeting until February when they will meet once again to parse letters in the alphabet in an attempt to decide what is "terrorism." Yet now the UN Human Rights head seems to have a definition. It’s a Dutch cartoon. That’s terrorism.
All the while, Muslim fanatics chop off heads, set neighborhoods ablaze, blast bullets into innocent bodies and set up their 4000 web sites to teach hate and murder. Don’t forget also their schools where adult instructors tell the boys and girls how to despise "Jew-pigs," advocating pushing those in Israel into the Mediterranean Sea. And lest we forget, there are those Allah worshipers who are blowing up their own throughout New Iraq.
