Beware the Stinging Bee on the Fourth Weekend - CME Teaching Brief - MedPage Today:
"Beware the Stinging Bee on the Fourth Weekend
By Michael Smith, MedPage Today Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, July 1-A bee only weighs a fraction of an ounce, but it can spoil your whole holiday weekend.
While it would take about 300 insects to weigh an ounce, the cocktail of proteins that a bee's stinger can inject is often enough to cause symptoms ranging from hives to fatal shock in people allergic to the venom."

SPECIAL TO THE POST-INTELLIGENCER
When dinner looms and you haven't had time to breathe all day, whip up one of these fast yet fabulous entrees. All taste fresh and pleasingly festive while requiring a minimum of fuss. Serve any of them with a salad of mixed greens, experimenting with a new dressing to make a pleasant change (think feta and dill, raspberry balsamic, ginger sesame or Thai peanut, for example)."

US Supreme Court justice resigns
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the US Supreme Court and a crucial centrist, is to retire.
Ms O'Connor, 75, has often cast the deciding vote on the nine-member court, leading some US commentators to call her the most powerful woman in America.
She is the first Supreme Court justice to retire since 1994, giving George W Bush his first chance to name a judge."

Scientists anticipate the crash will eject a spray of ice and dust from the comet's crusty surface and reveal the material beneath it. The crash is expected to produce a hole that could range in size from that of a small house to a football stadium, depending on the density of the comet's nucleus. It is not expected to change the comet's path."

A man walking along a California beach was deep in prayer. Suddenly,
the sky clouded above his head and, in a booming voice, the Lord said,
"Because you have TRIED to be faithful to me in all ways, I will grant
you one wish."
The man said, "Build a bridge to Hawaii so I can drive over anytime
I want."
The Lord said, "Your request is very materialistic. Think of the
enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports
required to reach the bottom of the Pacific! The concrete and steel it
would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. I can do
it, but it is hard for Me to justify your desire for worldly things.
Take a little more time and think of something that would honor and
glorify Me."
The man thought about it for a long time. Finally he said, "Lord, I
wish that I could understand my wife. I want to
know how she feels inside, what she's thinking when she gives me the
silent treatment, why she cries, what she means when she says
nothing's wrong, and how I can make a woman truly happy."
The Lord replied, "You want two lanes or four on that bridge?"

Whilst outside painting, a lady stopped to ask if I knew of anybody who had found her greyhound. Evidentally she was so excited that it was found, not only did she write down the wrong street number but did not get a name or return phone number. If you have her dog, contact:

: "Boffins create zombie dogs
By Nick Buchan of NEWS.com.au

From: NEWS.com.au
Zombie dog
Eerie ... boffins have brought dead dogs back to life, in the name of science.
SCIENTISTS have created eerie zombie dogs, reanimating the canines after several hours of clinical death in attempts to develop suspended animation for humans.
US scientists have succeeded in reviving the dogs after three hours of clinical death, paving the way for trials on humans within years.
Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.
The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.
But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.
Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre."
