CHAMBLEE, GA, May 27, 2011 (Press-News.org) In an article published by Bloomberg.com on May 12, 2011 it was reported that global food prices could climb an additional 4.4% by the end of the year, providing further evidence that the current state of the world's food supply is in flux and in dire need of stabilization. Unfortunately the need isn't being met with enough action as more than 44 million people have been pushed into poverty since last June due to rising food prices and that figure will likely climb alongside the anticipated escalation of food costs. As it becomes evident that governmental involvement and global initiatives are no longer viable solutions to the problem more and more people are looking for an alternative answer, an answer that can be found in a special report published by OffTheGridNews.net entitled "Food Shock: Why 2011 Could Be The Most Important Year Ever To Plant A Family Garden."
It takes understanding all aspects of the problem to deliver a comprehensive solution and the "Food Shock" report leaves no stone unturned as it details specific events and policies that have contributed to the rising food prices. Not only does the "Food Shock" report on what has caused these food price increases but it also paints a grim picture of where the world's food supply will be if an effective solution isn't implemented.
Offered at no cost to individuals who sign up for the free weekly newsletter published by OffTheGridNews.net, the "Food Shock" special report shows the reader exactly how natural disasters and unfavorable weather conditions have contributed to the rising price of food, it provides a detailed account on how ethanol initiatives as an alternative energy source have driven the price of corn to new heights, and reveals how genetically modified fruits and vegetables along with the advancement of nanotechnology in food production presents new dangers to the nutritional value of what we consume.
Authored by noted survivalists Bill Heid and Brian Brawdy, the "Food Shock" report delivers a clear message to its readers, "take personal responsibility for the health and well-being of you and your family." While that may sound like a heavy burden Heid and Brawdy provide simple solutions that not only address the problem but outline the actions that can be taken on an individual basis to ensure a long-term answer.

Significant role of oceans in onset of ancient global cooling
2011-05-27
Thirty-eight million years ago, tropical jungles thrived in what are now the cornfields of the American Midwest and furry marsupials wandered temperate forests in what is now the frozen Antarctic.
The temperature differences of that era, known as the late Eocene, between the equator and Antarctica were half what they are today.
A debate has been ongoing in the scientific community about what changes in our global climate system led to such a major shift from the more tropical, greenhouse climate of the Eocene to modern and much cooler climates.

World-wide assessment determines differences in cultures
2011-05-27
Conflicts and misunderstandings frequently arise between individuals from different cultures. But what makes cultures different; what makes one more restrictive and another less so?
A new international study led by the University of Maryland and supported by the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences offers insights that may help explain such cultural differences and bridge the gaps between them.
Published in the May 27 issue of the journal Science, the study for the first time assesses the degree to which countries are restrictive ...
NASA: Songda becomes a super typhoon
2011-05-27
As predicted, Typhoon Songda intensified and was a super typhoon with wind speeds estimated at over 130 knots ( ~145 mph) when NASA's TRMM satellite passed directly over head on May 26, 2011 at 0806 UTC (4:06 a.m. EDT).
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite captured the heavy rainfall rates within the super typhoon using TRMM's Visible and InfraRed Scanner (VIRS) instrument. The rainfall analysis from TRMM's Microwave Imager (TMI) and Precipitation Radar (PR) data showed that Songda had a circular eye with extremely heavy rainfall (as much as 2 inches/50 ...
NASA is making hot, way cool
2011-05-27
The more advanced the electronics, the more power they use. The more power they use, the hotter they get. The hotter they get, the more likely they'll overheat. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand what typically happens next: The electronics fry.
In the world of electronics, thermal control is always one of the limiting factors -- particularly in space where there is no air to help cool down electronic components.
However, Jeffrey Didion, a thermal engineer at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., and Dr. Jamal Seyed-Yagoobi, a professor ...

The use of placebo in rheumatoid arthritis clinical trials may negatively impact patients
2011-05-27
The results of this study, conducted in Germany, re-open the debate on whether it is ethical to conduct placebo-controlled studies where patients in the placebo-group are at a serious disadvantage compared to patients taking the new treatments. The study analysed current study designs, for new therapies such as abatacept (Orencia®), golimumab (Simponi®) or tocilizumab (Actemra®), and showed that patients in the placebo group experienced no change in medication, having to continue with their former, ineffective treatment plus placebo.
"According to the Helsinki-Declaration ...
Arthritis patients taking newer treatments do not have an overall increased cancer risk
2011-05-27
Only three percent (n=181) of patients in the study cohort receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor agents (anti-TNFs) for treatment of their arthritis developed a first cancer within nine years and overall risk was not dependent on the type of arthritis.
The nine year follow-up study conducted at Gentofte University Hospital, Denmark demonstrated that relative risk ((RR)=1.03 (95%confidence interval 0.82-1.30)) was not increased in patients treated with anti-TNFs compared to patients who had never taken anti-TNFs during 23,965 person-years follow-up. Overall cancer risk ...
Undertreatment of cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis patients following a heart attack
2011-05-27
Results of a study, involving 98,454 patients demonstrated that at 30 days following their first heart attack, RA patients were approximately 20% less likely to be prescribed standard MI treatments, such as statins and betablockers, compared to healthy patients. These finding remained relatively unchanged at 180 days, further highlighting differences between the two groups, with a high number being prescribed the current standards of care within the 180 day period (statins 80%, betablockers 82%, clopidogrel 70%, aspirin 79%) in general.
