This paper explores how government and private agencies help animals after a disaster, the problems wildlife can pose for disaster and relief workers, how disasters affect wild animals and what behavior can result, how wildlife rehabilitators fit "into the capture, medical care and temporary sheltering of wildlife,"and how to help the public avoid injury from and provide assistance to wild animals. From the disaster manager for the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Garbanzos, Lentils, Dry Peas And Beans Make Crunchy, Healthful Snacks
Garbanzos, lentils, and dry peas and beans can now make crunchy, great-tasting snacks that are also good for you. Scientists have created unique, healthful treats that can come in a variety of shapes, from crisp bits to tubular puffs. Miscarriage And Abortion Triple Chances Of Future Low Birthweight Babi
Women who have miscarried or had an abortion run three times the normal risk of having a subsequent low birthweight baby, suggests new research. The more miscarriages or abortions a woman has, the greater are her chances of giving birth to a child that is underweight or premature in the future, the research shows. Low birthweight (under 2500 g) and premature birth (less than 37 weeks) are two of the major contributors to deaths among newborn babies and infants. Blocking Previously Unrecognized Links Between Inflammatory Systems Co
A recently identified path of inflammation once thought to be wholly independent of other inflammatory systems has now been linked to another major pathway. The findings by neuroscientists at Johns Hopkins are likely to point scientists to novel drugs that significantly reduce the risks of taking COX-2 inhibitor pain relievers, the investigators report. R Rating Might Be Unlikely To Affect Teens Exposure To Smoking In Movi
Several recent research studies published in the US have determined that young adolescents who see smoking scenes in movies are more likely to smoke. To combat smoking among youth, public health groups have called for restricted ratings for movies that depict smoking. A new study from New Zealand, however, calls that strategy into question, noting that the R rating may not have the intended effect of putting such movies 'out of reach'of children.

A relatively benign compound contained in a widely used group of insecticides can mix with and increase the toxicity of existing pesticides in the environment, according to a new study led by UC Berkeley biologists. Based upon these findings, regulators should not only consider the toxicity of individual active ingredients in a product, but also how ingredients may interact with other chemicals in the environment, the researchers said. [Ironic] Professional beggars prowling about the streets of Moroccan c
