...expects China's beef industry to be transformed overnight. Others have tried Western production methods and failed. Steffen Schindler, a German butcher who runs two Beijing restaurants and a small meat plant, oversaw the first feedlot and slaughterhouse to sell hamburger meat to McDonald's in China. That joint venture went under after a local company set up a competing operation nearby. But as China keeps growing, Schindler thinks it's inevitable that the mom-and-pop industry will coalesce into large operations. "You cannot meet the demand if you're doing it the old-fashioned way," Schindler says...
...like my TI-83 Plus. At first, her disclaimer sounded like an over-rehearsed statement of the obvious: shouldn’t all restaurant food be made “fresh to order”? But here’s the hitch: Wagamama is a fast food joint. Was the last Big Mac you ate “made fresh to order”?

Every Saturday, a long line of students, locals, and tourists snakes around Mass Ave. They are waiting for a crowded table at a hamburger joint that’s soaked in equal parts fry grease and Hollywood kitsch.

We study the engineering, the metallurgy, the tribology (friction science) - and the body's responses to these things from the gross anatomic level down to the subcellular, ultramicroscopic scale. We digest hundreds of studies about the clinical science and spend hundreds of hours in conferences hashing over the pros and cons. Then we do the operations and we live with the results for the rest of our lives; they are the swords by which we live...
