Port Security
I stole this from Baseline Magazine. Here are some links to reports, white papers, and research on protecting the marine terminals. I didn't take all the links -- just the ones I thought of as relevant.
Brookings Institution: "Protecting The American Homeland."
Rand: "'Seacurity': Improving the Security of the Global Sea-Container Shipping System."
Unisys White Paper: "A Safe Commerce Blueprint: Securing Your Inbound Supply Chain."
General Accounting Office report: "Container Security: Expansion of Key Customs Programs Will Require Greater Attention to Critical Success Factors."
Bureau of Customs and Border Protection report: "ACE & Modernization: Overview of Key Features For the Trade."
The first chef
First came fire ... and then, as the camera shifts to the soon to be late-village idiot, you're left wondering -- just what was going through that mind -- and food is put on the fire, for the first time, and cooking is accidentally discovered by humanity. The first chef is ridiculed by grunts, then the local thug tries a sample of the burnt carcass, and soon, everybody gets queued at the McDonalds drive-thru. What happened? Richard Wrangham of Harvard believes there's more to cooking than evolutionary history would have you believe. Wrangham points out that there is no way homo sapiens could survive on just raw food. Raw food just doesn't give up calories as easily as cooked food -- and raw food makes the digestive system expend more energy to get at those calories. Cooking on the other hand breaks complex molecules down, allowing the digestive system to make easy work of them -- and cooking also softens food, allowing the body to get to the calories with less effort...
