| Skepticism of Faculty and Tenure
It is not to get people to work harder or be more productive. Further, anyone who has worked for 6-7 years has the presumption of continued employment and can assume they will not be fired without cause. Zogby does not inform people of the real protections offered by tenure but presents it as something it is not intended to be, both in the definition they give and in the wording of the question. Once they have tenure, most people work hard because they wish to be promoted to Full Professor. Once they attain that rank, they probably work as hard as anyone does in a long-time job with no prospect for further promotion. Tenure isn’t to motivate productivity. It is to protect academic researchers from controversy. I think the source of the idea that professors do not work hard is the media, not David Horowitz.
Krill Oil Dramatically Lowers C-Reactive Protein
(NewsTarget) Canadian researchers published the findings of a randomized, double blind study designed to assess the effects of Neptune Krill Oil (NKO) on levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) in patients with chronic inflammation. The study was published in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition.
Ninety subjects participated in the study and were chosen based on confirmed diagnosis of severely elevated CRP (>1.0 mg/dL or 10mg/L) with cardiovascular disease and/or rheumatoid arthritis and/or osteoarthritis.
Half of the subjects received 300mg of NKO daily and half were given a placebo.
* After 7 days, CRP decreased 19.3% in those treated with NKO and increased 15.7% in the placebo group.
* After 14 days, CRP decreased 29.7% in the NKO group and increased 32.1% in the placebo group.
Ron Paul’s $4.2 Million Haul
I don't know what's more amazing — the sum total. Or this pooh pooh'd article. Truly, had this been any other candidate, me thinks you would have spared a little more ink and common sense before publishing this excuse of an article. Oh, I forgot, this is Rolling Stone. It is a sad state of affairs, when subscribing to the Constitution is considered fringe. But I think we can blame such civic illiteracy of the masses on excellent pieces of journalism, such as this by Tim what's his name? .
