University stories, Birds: Chance to kill, Killer’s chances, Killed by chance.

1) Organic Chicken was shown by the University of Georgia’s Center for Food Safety to be your best chance to live through a dining experience.  38.8% of factory farm chickens have salmonella.  5% of organic chickens have salmonella.  39.7% of the salmonella in factory farm chickens was resistant to six antibiotics.  None of the salmonella in organic birds showed antibiotic resistance.
2) DNA evidence is being destroyed.  According to Washburn Law University, only about half the states have laws protecting DNA evidence, and often if purposely destroyed there is no penalty for the violation.  Washburn discovered some prosecutors and police department’s have moved to destroy evidence on some questionable convections.
3) My (Kansas) KU Jayhawks got Cinderella’d by VCU.  I hated that, but if the other team shows up making most of their contested 3 pointers, there’s not much you can do.     Amazingly, KU had the worst game of it’s year in a number of stats, lowest percent of shooting, rebounding, freethrows, a number of players had the lowest scoring game of the year, a number of them had record turnovers of the year, one had 4 fouls in 6 minutes of play, a team speed record, yet still they lost by only 8 points.   (Missouri coach slot is open, VCU plays like Missouri, 40 minutes of chaos, Missouri calls it the fastest 40 minutes in basketball, I look for them to bid on him.)

  1. I like chicken. Hope I don't get salmonella.

    # 2 does not shock me in the least.

    # 3. Sorry about the Jayhawks. I think the VCU/Butler matchup is going to be the game to watch.

    peace

  2. Salmonella info on organics vs. factory chicken is an eye opener. May have to go more that route. Thanks for the info.
