- So many of you use cell phones. Use them responsibly, knowing that one day it is possible that, as with our pharmaceuticals, we discover unforeseeable conseuqences. Mobile Phone Radiation Harms DNA, New Study Finds From the Anti-Aging Newsletter of the Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine "Radio waves from mobile phones harm body cells and damage DNA in laboratory conditions, according to a new study majority-funded by the European Union, researchers said on Monday. . . . The so-called Reflex study, conducted by 12 research groups in seven European countries, did not prove that mobile phones are a risk to health but concluded that more research is needed to see if effects can also be found outside a lab. . . . Adlkofer advised against the use of a mobile phone when an alternative fixed line phone was available, and recommended the use of a headset connected to a cellphone whenever possible. . . . 'We don't want to create a panic, but it is good to take precautions,' he said, adding that additional research could take another four or five years." This link came from an email that I assume we receive because of the content of our website. Because cell phones are so convenient for many of us, we fail to consider that science knows little of the consequences of such radical change in the long term exposure of our bodies to new forces, such as radiation. Try moderation. And remain aware to what science is learning. jeanne
- Eschatalogical, End of Days, Issues as they arise with our many religiions. If we're all going to hell in a handbasket anyway, then some of us think it's ok to do anything we choose, since it's only for now anyway. Throughout history, that ain't been so, folks. Sunday night the History Channel is going to show "Countdown to Armageddon." I am not going to watch it. But the End of Days issue is terribly important in the willingness of our religions to engage in illocutionary understanding of one another. If you're not familiar with the ideas, you might want to watch, though it surely won't be cheerful. The review was in the New York Times this weekend: Doomsayers of All Stripes, Now Together in One Show By Ned Martel. Published: December 24, 2004 Backup. Teaching essay not up yet, but the article is here to read. jeanne
