Health News

The poster child for the Obama/Pelosi/Reid express pushing the government take over of our health care system is Natoma Canfield. Canfield is a cancer patient shamelessly used by power brokers to effect their own ends. Aw the emotion. Don’t you feel bad for her. Yes. She is going to die like the rest of us and the question becomes when and how long can the inevitable be postponed. Not very touchy feely but true.

The factual questions in this political drama centered around Natoma Canfield are how much are her treatments costing, who should pay for them, what is her long term prognosis with or without treatment, will she lose her home and will she get assistance in paying her bills. But don’t look to the Obama/Pelosi/Reid cabal for answers. They have their own agenda and the truth is often a casualty of it.

Clinic: Cancer Patient Who Wrote to Obama Will Not Lose Home, May Get Aid, is an article containing statements not heard from the President while he was campaigning for socialized medicine in Ohio. Quoting:

Natoma Canfield, the cancer-stricken woman who has become a centerpiece of President Obama’s push for health care reform, will not lose her home over her medical bills and will probably qualify for financial aid, a top official at the Cleveland medical center treating her told FoxNews.com.

Oh but that was a Fox news source and you know what those kind of people are like Bradford or at least you would if you were a good progressive. Fine, let’s go to a drive by media source:

And the Cleveland Clinic said it has no intention of putting out a lien on Canfield’s house — or letting the billing process interfere with her treatment.

“It appears that I think she’ll be fine,” said Lyman Sornberger, the hospital’s executive director of patient financial services. “By nature of the fact that she was not early on rejected by either program, that’s a key indicator that she will most likely be eligible.”

The truth matters. Some might be inclined to think it might matter even for politicians. I’d argue it does matter especially for politicians.

If you weren’t watching Phoebe at 4:00 p.m., Eastern, this afternoon, you missed seeing a real once-in-a-lifetime adventure.    The first of Phoebe’s eggs had not made it but was still in the nest.    At about 4:00 Phoebe got all agitated and was doing a lot of flying around the nest and then from the left we could see what looked like a snake’s head (until I saw it’s foot) enter the frame.     She made a couple passes at it and (some think) the lizard then fell off the branch (out of frame).    Then shortly she came back and stuck her beak in the bad egg and just whisked it out of the nest.

Now how often have you seen something like that?

Just a minute!    Someone recorded it!  &nbsp If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, click out to about 1/2 or 50 minutes.

We’re hungry. There’s nothing to eat. What are we gonna do?

Five of us are upstate at a friend’s country house. One of us is a gluten-free vegetarian, and another is off sugar. I like to eat whole grains and real food, but I’m not a total snob. Oh, and the other people would be happy with a grilled American cheese on white bread with a donut for dessert.

We blew a bunch of money on lift tickets. We want to save money.

I go to the cupboard and I find a bag of brown rice; it’s almost empty. So, I dig further and find some lentils, some dried split peas, and some millet. Some taco shells. I find a can of black beans, another can of refried beans, a tiny can of tomato paste. I know we have some onions and garlic. In the freezer there’s a bag of frozen carrots. Rummaging through the fridge, I turn up some slightly withered hot peppers and some cheddar cheese.

I’m in business. It’s gonna be chili & rice.

I sauté half a sliced onion in some olive oil and add half a bouillon cube. (I use Rapunzel, it’s vegan. At some point I recommended it to my friends and thankfully, they have some on hand.) I put in the brown rice and some salt while I have the teakettle on to heat up some water. When the onions are soft and the rice gets kind of opaque I toss in the lentils, split peas, and the millet, and then the hot water. Plumes of steam hiss up and I slam a lid on it, dropping it down to a low simmer temp.

I get some help to slice the onions and hot peppers (which leads to an alarming contact lens situation later) and toss them into a pot with olive oil. I rinse off the black beans in a colander. We’re in company; it’s essential to not make the country cabin into a gas factory. I’ve been told it helps if you rinse off the beans. I find chili powder and cayenne in the cabinet. (I wish they had caraway seeds, it’s a great anti-gas agent!)

Once the onions and peppers are soft I toss in some crushed, coarse-chopped garlic. Following quickly are the beans, the tomato paste, some water, some chili powder, salt, and for the sneaky warmth of it, a cinnamon stick. Cover and simmer. You know what? Some refried beans go in. Not the whole can, I took a quick survey and everybody wants some refried beans just as they come, warmed up. That and the carrots, I’m gonna keep simple. They go into their respective pots for a warmup. I toast the taco shells in the oven a little bit so they are warm and won’t break apart.

At the end we have a ton of food. It’s pretty low rent but with grated cheddar melting on vegetarian chili, girl, we sure did like it. Also, since the food was already paid for, we have more money for snowboarding.

The chili took about 20 minutes. If you want this whole recipe to take 20 minutes, make quinoa instead of the brown rice.

The brown rice took about 45 minutes; that’s a pretty long wait but it’d still take longer to go to town, sit in a restaurant, look at menus, decide and then wait for the food. I bet.

As the decade has come to a close, the number of property crime cases that have DNA evidence analyzed is still relatively low despite the unquestioned benefits that have been demonstrated by the laboratories that process this type of evidence. A lack of funding and capacity are the main reasons cited for not processing DNA evidence from property crime scenes even though the demand is increasing significantly. The demand for evidence from violent crime cases to be processed using DNA analysis has surpassed the capacity increase supported by significant improvement in NIJ funding over the past five years. Many crime laboratories either lack the resources to perform DNA analysis on samples from property crimes, or the priority of evidence from such crimes is low and results are not available for months.Many law enforcement agencies are frustrated they have to refrain from submitting cases for DNA analysis due to delays in receiving results. It is clear that more partnerships between private and public laboratories can assist in reducing forensic casework backlogs.
New FBI standards require private laboratories to obtain approval from the NDIS laboratory to perform the review and upload into CODIS before private laboratories can initiate casework. This new standard impacts the efficiency private and public laboratories can offer. The continuing requirement for 100% manual review of all cases and DNA profiles from offenders before being uploaded into CODIS has become even more burdensome as volumes of samples increase. Effective partnerships between private and public laboratories have shown what can be done to reduce backlogs of criminal cases and offender database samples. Additional constraints will require increased cooperation between private and public laboratories to be successful.
But today we must also realize the efficacy and the expectation of the use of DNA evidence in all types of crimes (present and past), mass disasters, post-conviction cases, and cold cases. The analysis of DNA from property crimes has been shown to be among the most useful cases for solution via DNA databanks. Unfortunately limited resources force crime laboratories to choose between working on violent crimes and property crimes so the benefit of solving property crimes is not realized since laboratories prioritize evidence from violent crimes.Mass disasters are also a tremendous burden on existing resources. It is difficult enough to manage day-to-day cases without the additional emergency samples from a mass disaster. Private laboratories have worked together with public laboratories to help manage the additional work. During the World Trade Center disaster, Bode Technology was able to increase capacity to develop DNA profiles from 1,000 skeletal fragments per week. Public laboratories have partnered with private laboratories to help identify victims of plane crashes and hurricanes. Some private laboratories have developed advanced techniques to tease DNA profiles from very old or highly compromised evidence to help with the identification of mass disaster victims.
Working with private laboratories has allowed some public laboratories to improve their services and prevent countless crimes by reducing turnaround times.Many private laboratories have adopted new, validated technologies to increase capacity via automated procedures in order to address the increased demand for forensic DNA analysis. Some private laboratories have developed new tools like software and products that assist in improving efficiencies in the collection and processing of DNA evidence.
In conclusion, there has been over a decade of partnerships between private and public DNA forensic laboratories. These partnerships have sped up the wheels of justice. The examples noted in this article are just a sampling of what can be done when private and public laboratories work together. It will be exciting to see what the next decade brings as new technologies are adopted and the forensic community reduces or eliminates the ever-present backlogs of DNA forensic cases using public-private partnerships.

Today’s question was posed by a reader a few months ago. I’m paraphrasing here:

Q: What can you do with hominy? Are there any good recipes? What about its nutrition?

A: Man, good question. Here’s what I know, and it ain’t much: hominy is a corn product that comes in white and yellow varieties. It’s fairly high in fiber, and gives you a lot of food for comparatively few calories. In my area (Brooklyn), it’s canned, relatively cheap, and can be found in the Latin section of the supermarket.

I bought hominy for the first time a few months ago, to make Winter Vegetable Chili. It didn’t add much flavor, but it melded seamlessly with the spices and thickened the dish well. Beyond that, I know it’s commonly used in pozole, a delicious Mexican stew. Beyond beyond that, I’m stumped.

Readers, how do you use hominy? Do tell.
