...linebacker who himself contracted MRSA. “The second person got a rash and some bumps.” According to McLeod, as the bacteria spread to more players, the symptoms intensified. “The guy who had it before me got it on his calf and it sort of swelled up. I got it on my foot and it swelled up to the point where I couldn’t walk and I had to be hospitalized for a few days,” he said. Even teammates who were not infected felt the effects...
...have skipped through the regular season. After they started 10-2 in April, no division foe, not even the 14-time defending division champion Atlanta Braves, has mounted a threat. For the play-offs, the only concern is the health of New York's starting pitchers--particularly Martinez. A calf injury put Pedro on the DL in August, and he has been inconsistent since returning. Glavine missed two weeks in August with blood clots in his left ring finger but insists he has never felt stronger in his 20-year career. A weak National League offers the Mets an opening...
...calves - eat the farm's grass rather than fattier, less healthy grain feed purchased from a supplier. The grass is carefully maintained by rotating the animals on it - veal calves eat the tastiest grass and drop their manure on the remainder. Chickens then come in and clean the calf manure by foraging in it; they also eat some of the less desirable grass. Chickens leave their own manure, which helps the grass rejuvenate. Unlike animals raised in feedlots and pens, Stone Barns' animals oxygenate their muscles with all their ranging and grass-eating, and thereby develop more sapid meat. They...
...revolutionary field of regenerative medicine. The "presidential lines" were of limited value; there were not nearly as many as scientists initially thought would be available--more like 21 than 62, and they were old, in some cases damaged and most likely contaminated with the mouse feeder cells and calf serum used to grow them. Top U.S. scientists, many of whom depend on federal grants, decamped to labs in Europe or Singapore, where the government has made biotechnology a national priority. Some states have tried to fill the gap--California voted for a $3 billion bond initiative to fund stem-cell...
...Gita's death has intensified the already-mounting pressure on zoos to re-think their elephant exhibits. Last week, an elephant at the Rosamond Gifford Zoo in Syracuse, New York, lost her calf in utero."These two incidents intensify the pressure on zoos to aknowledge what they're in denial about - that confining elephants in zoos causes them to suffer and die prematurely," says Suzanne Roy, program director for In Defense of Animals."Elephants in zoos repeatedly have stillbirths and experts we've talked to believe that the lack of exercise and physical fitness contribute to their inability to have...
