Another way to protect flocks is to block the virus from ever alighting here. Whether that can be done depends on how the pathogen arrives. Everybody's favorite suspects these days seem to be migrating birds. If you check a map of migration flyways, it's pretty easy to trace a potential route for an infected bird from Europe to Canada and then on down through the U.S. But would that really happen...
...everything is not lost. After seeing the ash-trace on many people across the Yard yesterday, I realized there is actually something we could give up that would enhance our spiritual lives, something as meaningful to us as abundant food for hungry Medieval city dwellers. As I saw the symbol of my religious holiday on my forehead, I also noted the myriad other symbols I carried around: an Oakley backpack, signature iPod headphones, a Nike swoosh on my running shoes, designer jeans and sweater, and I did not even dare look in my closet…the list would require...

The call for Sudanese divestment was such a case, as were Harvard’s divestment decisions regarding tobacco companies, Gulf oil, and apartheid in South Africa...
...Franz Ferdinand (who cribbed them from Lou Reed and Television and so on), and the band's ska rhythms and martial drums come courtesy of the Clash. But singer-guitarist Alex Turner, guitarist Jamie Cook, drummer Matt Helders and bassist Andy Nicholson play with a swagger that obliterates any trace of ancestor worship. They aren't referencing anything as they fly through tunes like The View from the Afternoon; they're just playing as many hooks as possible, as fast and as cleanly as they...
...Kari Stefansson can trace his ancestry back 1,100 years. That's almost unheard of in the U.S., but in his native Iceland, where genealogy is a national obsession, it hardly raises an eyebrow. The island nation is a genetic anomaly: settled by a few Norsemen and Celts in the 9th century A.D. and relatively free of later immigration, it is among the most genetically homogeneous countries on earth. And in the late 1990s, when scientists were racing to map the human genome, Stefansson realized that Iceland's genetic isolation and unrivaled genealogical records made it a potential gold mine...
