of Geophysical Sciences at the
University of Chicago released a study that compared the differences in
greenhouse-gas emissions caused by various plant- and meat-based diets.
Researchers found that the difference between a red-meat diet and a
vegan diet – in terms of greenhouse-gas emissions – equaled the
difference between driving a sedan and driving a sport-utility vehicle.
Bewitched by the Veilby Dorothy Rowewho welcomes our reprinting this and following article ![]() ![]() [The niqab is] a mark of
separation and that is why it makes other
people from outside the community feel uncomfortable.’ Tony Blair’s
answer to a journalist’s question October 17, 2006....I don’t recall
Tony Blair ever expressing publicly any disquiet about the way the
singer Bono is never seen without his dark glasses, despite the fact
that the eyes reveal more about the person than any other part of the
body.
Bigger Breasts and Suicideby Dorothy RowePeople seem puzzled by suicide in
women with breast implants, but I
wouldn’t be surprised if BDD [Body Dysmorphic Disorder] was behind it,’
says Katherine Phillips, a psychiatrist at Brown Medical School,
Providence, Rhode Island. New Scientist, October 21, 2006 ...New
Scientist didn’t contact me. Had this happened, I would have said that
it was really very simple. Just ask each woman what she hoped the
breast implant would do for her, and take what she says seriously, not
merely as evidence for or against an abstraction like BDD which resides
nowhere but in the mind of a psychiatrist or psychologist who believes
that such a disorder exists.

Mon, 3 April 2006 ![]() Watch the video Watch/listen to earlier shows: 2002: Turn left at Tokyo (15 audio programs) David Rothauser was in Japan in the summer of 2005 and may be back this summer again in connection with his documentary scheduled for release in Japan and the U.S. later this year, probably around December. In the U.S. look for it on PBS. Our cooperation consisted of making initial contacts with various people and groups active in the anti-nuclear and peace movement as well as facilitating communication between the Japan-based documentary producer Yu NEGORO, the Nagasaki coordinator Naoko GOTO, the main translator, Tomoko KAJIKI, the America-based crew (Julie O'NEIL, Werner GRUNDL, and David), and the US-based coordinators/translatorsWakana YOKOTA and Naomi TORII. PRESS RELEASE David Rothauser of Memory Productions is producing a one hour documentary film about the life stories of Japanese, Korean, Chinese and American survivors of the Atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. There is an URGENCY here as the survivors (Hibakusha) are dying off, victims of radiation poisoning and other a-bomb related diseases. I feel it is equally important to tell the stories on film of people who should never be forgotten. To keep their memory alive is to make an active contribution to a world where peoples of all races may embrace life as a precious gift and no longer live in the fear of nuclear annihilation. To date Memory Productions has completed 30 hours of filming. Memory Productions is seeking completion funding of $150,000.00 dollars. Your assistance as individuals, as organizations and corporations is requested. You may participate in this important educational film by making tax-deductible contributions to our fiscal sponsor, the Community Church of Boston. The names of contributors donating more than $ 1,000.00 dollars will be included in the film credits.
