...unusual step, but one that was also recommended by the President's Council of Advisers on Science and Technology (PCAST) in a report released the same day. By initiating the so-called "fill and finish" step of vaccine production, manufacturers can be prepared to ship vials as quickly as possible in mid-October, once testing confirms that the shots are safe and effective at producing immunity against H1N1. "The recommendation was to proceed with filling and finishing even before dosage information is available," said Frieden. "That step has been taken...
...Still, the decision to approve the fill and finish steps underscores how unusual H1N1 is, and highlights the fact that the upcoming flu season may yet hold surprises. In its report, PCAST also released projections of how severe the pandemic could get: up to 120 million people coughing, sneezing, feverish and otherwise sick with the symptoms of flu, 90,000 people potentially dead from the illness, and half to 100% of beds in intensive care units of hospitals in hard-hit regions filled with flu patients...

That might create problems down the road - for America and the Americas alike. (See pictures of violence during Honduran protests...
...tiny cubes to maximize flavor. They make a stock with pea pods (which pureed and served with ricotta makes an instant summer soup). There's detailed instruction on using up leftovers (sea-bass trimmings are transformed into a tartare with lime, coconut milk and chili) and on how to finish an emulsion sauce without it curdling (it involves using cream whipped over ice). Students then get to sit and eat the spoils of their labor. (Watch TIME's video "Bocuse d'Or: Americans in a French Food Fight...
