...course, before you can contain a sick farm, you have to know where it is. That's where the latest in geolocating devices comes in. Poultry veterinarians have been mapping U.S. commercial farms with handheld GPS tools (similar to the electronic navigational readers many people have in their cars) and entering the locations into large computerized databases for use in an emergency. They have even used the popular free software program Google Earth to fine-tune the positions of some chicken houses. That way, if the industry's testing program ever turns up evidence of H5N1 infection, officials will know...

Usually the geek in question is obsessed with a particular academic study—thus making his desire slightly more acceptable in Harvard interactions. The geek who knows everything about Russia is not going to be able to contain himself when someone mentions his favorite corner of the globe and he may often bring it up first. He is the go-to-geek, er, guy when you’ve got a particular question, but even he knows that he has to check himself to prevent the over-saturation...
