Artificial sweeteners screw up appetite
Artificial sweeteners screw up appetite
07/01/2004 03:34 AMArtificial sweeteners disrupt your body's ability to accurately guage
your caloric intake and regulate your appetite accordingly.
Professor Terry Davidson and associate professor Susan Swithers, both
in the Department of Psychological Sciences, found that artificial
sweeteners may disrupt the body's natural ability to "count" calories
based on foods' sweetness. This finding may explain why increasing
numbers of people in the United States lack the natural ability to
regulate food intake and body weight. The researchers also found that
thick liquids aren't as satisfying – calorie for calorie –
as are more solid foods.

evidence that the Mac platform is as vulnerable to attack and viruses
as Windows. Now, Richard Forno, the former Chief Security Officer at
Network Solutions has written a response in which he addresses factual
errors in the PC Mag article, points out several reasons why OS X is
inherently more secure than Windows, and at one point suggests the

Do Most People Even Know What They're
Eating?
01/24/2004 12:12 AM Do Most People Even Know What They're Eating? Pork is served
as veal; tilapia as red snapper and who knows what goes into sausages
and other processed meat and fish products? You don't have to be an
observant Jew or Muslim to be worried. How many years have those
chicken pieces been frozen? How much
pork
and beef have been added to them? As food is increasingly
disguised (fish fingers, chicken nuggets, beefburgers) to hide its
origins, feeding on hypocritical popular revulsion with animals'
existence, death - and carcasses! - aren't consumers setting
themselves up for an ever greater measure of food fraud? That is, if
they still care. (And no, it's not just an American phenomenon.)

Ecobot II: A Fly-eating Robot
Ecobot II: A Fly-eating Robot
09/12/2004 12:17 PMResearchers at the
University of the West of England in Bristol have developed a new,
carnivorous robot, called Ecobot II, that eats
and digests flies for power. The researchers are working on "release
and
forget" robots that can find their own power sources after being
deployed. This is the same team who developed the well-known Ecobot I
(aka Slugbot) that ate
and digested slugs for power. Expect more carnivorous robots in the
future. Ecobot II is an improvment but still takes 12 minutes of
digestion to generate enough energy to move forward 2 cm. And
Ecobot doesn't smell too nice either, since it's digestion process
relies on human sewage for the bacteria needed. For more, see the
stories in NewScientist.com,
Newsfactor,
Scotsman.com,
and the discussion on Slashdot.
FreeRoller eating threads.
FreeRoller eating threads.
03/11/2003 11:53 AMFreeRoller keeps on running out of threads to process incoming
requests. This could be a problem in Roller, but I suspect that we may
have run up against this bug in the Tomcat 4.0.X HTTP connector:
BUG5735: HTTP connector running out of processors under heavy
load
The bug is marked as fixed, but I think that means the fix is in
the new Tomcat 4.1.X Coyote HTTP connections.
Next time this happens, I'll try Glen Nielson's advice (from the bug
report):
I would recommend that you dump the stack for all running threads when
you experience this problem. This can help identify what is causing
the
problem. By reviewing the stack dump for each thread you can determine
whether the problem is due to Tomcat or your application.
On unix you do a kill -QUIT {tomcat java pid) to cause the thread
stack's
to be dumped to catalina .out.
A Processor for Tomcat runs your application code, delays in your code
can cause additional processor threads to be created to handle new
requests.
Possible application or configuration problems which can delay
requests:
Connection delays due to networked services such as a db.
Connection delays due to running out of pooled resources.
Thread synchronization deadlocks.
A cascading affect where many new processors get created due to
excessively long JVM Garbage Collections. start java with
-verbose:gc to detect this.

Eating on a Saturday night
Eating on a Saturday night
04/17/2005 06:52 PMI've been doing a fairly good job of eating at lots of yummy places
while here in Paris. Obviously I've been doing a fairly crappy job of
documenting those meals, mostly out of sheer laziness. But last night
we decided to eat in for a change, and to soften the repeated blows my
wallet has taken during this trip. To turn the documentation tide, I
present a photo of what we had for dinner on Saturday night.
For our shopping, we decided we'd head to La Grande Epicerie Paris,
the amazing food market at The Bon Marché -- one of Paris'
grand department stores. We started in the wine section and being, in
reality, poser gourmands and wine afficionados, we just grabbed two
bottles that looked good and tried to escape before the woman started
speaking to us in French about wine. My French class hasn't gotten to
that level of interaction yet, and I wasn't up to the challenge. The
take? A half bottle of Domaine Pradelle Crozes-Hermitage, 2002 (white)
and a full size 2000 Saint-Joseph from Ferraton Père &
Fils. Where they good? Seemed so to us. We're pretty much happy with
anything from the Rhône.
Next stop, the meat counter where we procured some mousse de canard.
Somehow I managed to leave it out of the nice photo, so here it is
just tossed on a plate. Then, on to the cheese counter!
Here we were at a loss as there were just too many cheeses to choose
from. Though I have French Cheeses: The Visual Guide to More Than 350
Cheeses from Every Region of France, it was no use among the vast
selection (because I didn't have it with me and hadn't memorized it
all, yet...). So I used my every-improving French to explain our
predicament to Madame la Fromagière:
(In French, sort of)Madame, we do not know the cheeses well of France.
Is it possible that you make a selection of three cheeses for us to
know more the cheese?
Of course!, she replied, quite happy to be put to such a test. So she
asked a few more questions and we ended up with a Brie de Meaux, a
Comté Rivoire, and a bouton Charolai which was a button of a
lovely aged goat cheese. They were all excellent, and Madame chose
well for us. The Charolai was my favorite new cheese in a long time.
We had also picked up a saucisson sec aux myrtilles, a dry sausage
with a blueberry(!) coating. It was good, but didn't have much
blueberry flavor. And of course, the requisite baguettes upon which to
spread our yummy cheese and mousse. It was tasty and easy and I have
to say, I want to do it again very soon!

"While it is unclear
how this could have happened, the [Iranian] paper carries quotes from
medical experts who say there are human characteristics to the
animal....Medical history recounts stories of people who believed they
had frogs - or even lizards or snakes - living and growing in their
bodies....One of the most famous was the 17th Century case of
Catharina Geisslerin, known as "the toad-vomiting woman" of
Germany. " Could this be connected to that 20 pound
