...feeding steers grain and supplements can create safety issues--for cattle and humans. Biologically, cattle are ruminants, exquisitely evolved to graze grass, and researchers have found that a grain diet raises the acidity in steers' guts. This breeds an acid-resistant form of E. coli that can spread from feces-contaminated carcasses to meat. Although USDA inspections are supposed to detect E. coli, the system is not perfect. In 1993, 600 people in Seattle got sick and three children died after eating E. coli-- tainted hamburger. Since then, outbreaks have triggered more recalls and led to a federal recommendation that...
...economic growth, many Spaniards remain financially naive. "There was a lack of knowledge here," says Mayor Martínez. "Very few people understood the reality of the market." In that vacuum, the promise of higher yields - starting at 6%, as compared to the banks' 2% - easily outweighed caution. "It spread from mouth to mouth," explains Martínez. "One person would tell a friend or relative about the money he was earning, and that person would convince the next." Indeed, there is only one Afinsa agent in Dosbarrios, and everyone knows him.

Two of the cave's caretakers, Bruno Desplat and Sandrine van Solinge, had raised the alarm when they discovered that white filaments, first spotted in isolated parts of the cave months before, had spread over much of the interior in a matter of days.

...already talking through their preparations for an outbreak of insurgent violence in reaction to the news. Attacks in Iraq have already reached an all-time high of 700 per week, according to a State Department source, and officers are bracing for the scores of terrorist and criminal cells spread across Iraq to react to news of Zarqawi's killing. For the special forces troops, they are already moving on to the next target. In an exclusive interview with TIME recently, Lt. General Dell Dailey talked about how U.S. forces had tracked a terrorist from the Achille Lauro ship hijacking...
Active Houses November 2, 1955 One of President Lowell’s main reasons for building seven upper-class Houses was to provide a social and recreational unit for the large and scattered student body. Today, although College students are no longer spread throughout Cambridge rooming houses, the enrollment is larger than Lowell ever could have guessed in 1930. The enlarged College of 1955 demands that each House take on an increasingly important job: to provide new activities for its members and to help organize existing College-wide activities on a House level. The College, of course, has numerous clubs...
