MRSA, Obesity, Evolution, Golf, Salamander, Venter, Kozintsev, Robin White

methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) increasing in the community..
aetiology
threadworms in Aus & NZ are dismayingly common, indicate widespread diffusion of hand-carried germ. When I live in the Barrio, no taps, no handbasins, piles of kids everywhere, lots of lice, but I never get threadworms,
washing instead of wiping seems to be the key...
The real worry is Hep, or Staph...
....
mikethemadbiologist
deaths from the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus ('staph infections') have exceeded AIDS/HIV deaths in the U.S.

__________________________________________________
Fatter is fitter... BMI over 25 may be safer... my BMI being under 24, I'm not optimum weight...
..100,000 fewer deaths among the overweight [USA of course?] in 2004, the most recent year for which data were available, than would have expected if those people had been of normal weight.

fat

OTOH World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) are saying that BMI sub 23 is safest. So major contradiction... I dont belong in either study's safe zone.
WCRF say dont take supplements (except folate?) I seem to notice that nearly every scientist who studies supplements takes a bunch. [Vit A is dangerous to smokers... excess Vit D may be dangerous, but 20 minutes in the sun makes 10,000IU]

High Speed Evolution
Loose talk about belief, but maybe Miraculous Intervention crew, and Lyn Margulis and her Symbiogeneticist crew could take a gander at: Species forming in quick time (ie tens of thousands of years)
nationalgeographic

Thomas D. Kocher, a professor of zoology U New Hampshire
The high rates of speciation [evolution of new species] observed in these African cichlids are almost beyond belief, but the evidence is clear
