...time of its creation, the lexicology of “Homeland Security” drew fire. In 2002 conservative columnist Peggy Noonan suggested that George W. Bush reconsider the name. “Homeland isn’t really an American word,” the former Reagan advisor opined in The Wall Street Journal, “It has a vaguely Teutonic ring--Ve must help ze Fuehrer protect ze Homeland!” Noonan seems to have struck the source of the visceral unease that the term provokes. “Homeland Security” resembles a call...
That's where Dr. Patrick Cunningham, the former director of the Animal Production and Health Division of the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization, and Ireland's current chief scientific advisor, comes in. Cunningham's 12-year-old company, IdentiGEN, specializes in DNA tracing of meat products - a process that can save valuable time during industry recalls, like the massive one on Sunday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) involving 143 million lbs. of raw and frozen beef.

Mindful of that peril, Neuilly's UMP brass teamed up with Jean Sarkozy on Sunday to announce they were dumping Martinon to launch a rival campaign - doubtless with the president's blessing. On Monday morning, Martinon called it quits in Neuilly...
...celebration of great food and great company. In the U.S., all too often, the psychological relationship to food is skewed. For many Americans, food is sinful: it’s an escape, a treatment for boredom, a cure for depression. According to Mollie Katzen, celebrated cookbook writer and recipe advisor to HUDS, healthy eating should be about adding great ingredients and savoring each bite—drizzling olive oil on salads to unleash the nutrients in the greens or sprinkling quinoa into a cup of soup to provide a serving of whole grains and some fiber.
