...meat-eating with masculine dominance, such minglings of the anti-meat agenda with misogyny assume added complexity. The ostensible absurdity of a vegetarian weight-lifter exposes a deep-rooted cultural fiction: that men gain strength and virility through eating the flesh of other mammals. Although, from a nutritional standpoint, meat may do more to clog men’s arteries than to build their muscles, meat retains symbolic power: The slaughter and consumption of animal flesh serves as a means for men to assert their dominance over nature (and, by extension, over women...
...think about the millions of Americans who live everyday knowing the potential for disaster could cause a major financial crisis. 9. FM: With the WHO you’ve traveled all over the world. Is there any particular place you have an affinity for? HAZ: It depends. From the standpoint of beauty, culture, history, and renaissance, I’m going to go with Italy. From the standpoint of where this world is going, I would say China. 10. FM: I know we’ve talked policy, but let’s hear more about the doctor part. You?...
...truth is, Kim Jong Il and the regime he heads can live without subjecting North Koreans to revolutionary ditties from space. Yesterday's launch, from the North's standpoint, was an almost unequivocal success, even if the satellite now sleeps with the fishes. Diplomatic and intelligence sources in Seoul and Tokyo contend that Pyongyang's biggest aim was to increase the range of its Taepodong II rocket. In 1998 it launched a predecessor that traveled about 1,060 miles (1,700 km). On July 4, 2006, another long-range rocket broke apart shortly after launch. Yesterday's rocket flew more...
...Then, from Washington's standpoint, the road becomes tricky. In practical terms, U.S. diplomats say that whether the rocket carried a satellite or not means little: the North has successfully tested a long-range rocket, in defiance of UN resolutions. Though the Taeodong II does not have the range to hit the continental United States, and the North has not yet mastered the technology to miniaturize a nuclear warhead that could fit on the rocket, the launch is, as Obama said, a "provocative act." To be seen as rewarding Pyongyang by engaging in direct talks is, for now, unlikely...
...From a practical standpoint, limiting HPV testing to women over 30 can also reduce unnecessary costs in treating patients in whom the infection would have resolved itself, a particularly important factor to consider when attempting to get cervical cancer prevention programs off the ground in the developing world and among lower-income women, Sankaranarayanan says. Indeed, the current standard in HPV tests, the Hybrid Capture II, which was used for this study, is already too costly for wide-scale application, running as much as $30 per test. Realistically, in order to be used on a grand scale, tests would have...
