*** Toxic teflon:

Eight U.S. companies, including giant DuPont Co., agreed yesterday to virtually eliminate a harmful chemical used to make Teflon from all consumer products coated with the ubiquitous nonstick material.

Although the chemical would still be used to manufacture Teflon and similar products, processes will be developed to ensure that perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) would not be released into the environment from finished products or manufacturing plants.

PFOA -- a key processing agent in making nonstick and stain-resistant materials -- has been linked to cancer and birth defects in animals and is in the blood of 95 percent of Americans, including pregnant women. It has also been found in the blood of marine organisms and Arctic polar bears.

I'm not confident that a material used to make a material used on a continually heated surface doesn't have residual implications for humans. Fortunately, I haven't cooked in years.


*** An unfortunate byproduct of Palestinian representative government: forced to deal with militants as governors:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said today that Hamas should react to its apparent victory in the Palestinian elections by laying down its weapons and accepting Israel's right to exist.

I'm not confident that ... etc, etc, etc.


*** "101 Dumbest Moments in Business." I wonder who thought this gem up:

16. It descends from the military-industrial complex. Not so ironically it unleashes grave embarrassment. "We consider the ad offensive, regret its publication, and apologize to those who, like us, are dismayed with its contents."

-- Mary Foerster, spokeswoman for Boeing Integrated Defense Systems, about an ad in the Sept. 24 issue of National Journal that depicts the CV-22 Osprey in an assault on a mosque accompanied by copy that reads, "It descends from the heavens. Ironically it unleashes hell."

Read the rest.

(Via the Commissar)


*** Interesting health study:

The same amount of smoking is more risky for blacks than whites, and less risky for Latinos. A study shows the risk of getting lung cancer from smoking a pack a day is 55 percent higher in blacks than in whites, and 50 percent lower in Latinos than in whites.

Tobacco is a product of the Americas. Would that fit into those results somehow?

Posted by: JohnAnnArbor at January 26, 2006 11:19 AM

That's actually a very interesting observation.

Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 26, 2006 01:15 PM

It is interesting... makes me wonder what the Turkish and Indians (Asian) were smoking in those Hookuhs for tens of hundreds of years prior to the discovery of the America's. Besides the obvious of course.

Prehistory: Although small amounts of nicotine may be found in some Old World plants, including belladonna and Nicotiana africana, and nicotine metabolites have been found in human remains and pipes in the Near East and Africa, there is no indication of habitual tobacco use in the Ancient world, on any continent save the Americas.

Show's me... bring on the belladona.

I have little confidence in any "study" these days. Just about every study has a political or social dimension to it. Where is the hard science.

Just the other day a study came out showing all over the counter cough medicines do not work. Where is the science to prove this. So now do we go back to prescription drugs?

Posted by: davod at January 27, 2006 08:59 AM

I would not worry about toxic teflon. And I AM a chemist. See a report on the teflon scare by a Statistics organization (stats.org): http://www.stats.org/record.jsp?type=news&ID=528

You should not believe any report on the environment from the MSM. Check it first. I can count on the fingers of one hand the number of such stories that had any validity. A gripe of mine is rapidly becoming that people like yourself, critical and intelligent, will accept what some scientifically uneducated journalist tries to feed you, when you would be rightly leery of the same publication tellling you who to vote for.

Check for yourself.

My mind is like a fog. Oh well. My life's been really dull today. Eh. Today was a total loss. I've more or less been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me.
I haven't gotten anything done today. My life's been dull today, but shrug. I can't be bothered with anything recently, but oh well. I've just been sitting around doing nothing. What can I say? So it goes.
I haven't gotten much done , but it's not important. Not much on my mind lately. Today was a total loss, but so it goes.

Not much on my mind right now. Today was a complete loss. So it goes. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen. I've basically been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me.
I've basically been doing nothing worth mentioning. Today was a total loss. That's how it is. Today was a loss. Basically nothing seems important, but eh. My mind is like an empty room. Basically nothing notable happening these days. My life's been completely boring today.
