  • EIR looms over boutique winery ordinance four-week delay in supervisors hearing

    Updated Apr 3, 2008

    In a best-case scenario for those who wish to see the county’s proposed boutique winery ordinance take effect, the hearing at the San Diego County Board of Supervisors has been delayed from March 26 to April 23. The worst-case scenario for proponents is that an Environmental Impact Report will be required to address the impacts of the ordinance. “It was determined that there were some changes that needed to be made to that ordinance,” said Glenn Russell of the county’s Department of Planning and Land Use at the March 21 hear...

  • Foul fowl discovered by Dept. of Agriculture

    Updated Apr 3, 2008

    WASHINGTON, DC — Food & Water Watch recently released an update of a 2006 report detailing the names of chicken producers who have failed to meet federal standards for salmonella. The names of these failing plants have never been publicly released by the US Department of Agriculture, the agency responsible for meat and poultry inspection.

  • How to quit smoking

    Updated Apr 3, 2008

    Perhaps the most telling testament to the difficulty of quitting is the number of people who routinely say “I’ve tried to quit smoking more than once.” In fact, those people are very common, says Michael Fiore, MD, MPH, director of the Center for Tobacco Research and Intervention at the University of Wisconsin. According to Fiore, the average person who has successfully quit smoking has only done so after five or six failed attempts. What this underscores is that many smokers are fully aware they need to quit, but the difficu... Full story

  • Does something have to be 'perfect' to be enjoyed?

    Updated Apr 3, 2008

    We’re all wired with a fight-flight-or-freeze response that meant the difference between life and death for our prehistoric ancestors. I watched a nature program about hippos and was surprised to learn that even today they cause more human deaths in Africa than any other animal. If your flight response isn’t working when you get in the way of an angry hippo, it’s pretty safe to say you’ll never use any response again.
