Catheter-associated urinary-tract infections (UTIs) are not fully preventable, according to a national survey of physicians on QuantiaMD, an online clinician community. This finding is contrary to expert opinion that these costly infections are indeed largely preventable.

| • | The little cart that could have, but just didn't. |

In Vol 11 of Make, a Charles Platt article was published in which he tried to replicate the result of a YouTube video by Jack Goodman. The article was titled "The Little Cart that Couldn't". http://www.make-digital.com/make/vol11/?pg=61 He failed miserably and concluded "Wind powered claims, look like hot air" Well, while I certainly applaud Mr. Platt for his well documented attempt, we built several of the devices and have made them work just fine. Here is our entry into the Mythbusters video challenge on the topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHsXcHoJu-A Perhaps I should write an update to Mr. Platt's article and submit it to Make. Best wishes JB |

| • | Shifts In Soil Bacterial Populations Linked To Wetland Restoration Success |
| Researchers have found that restoring degraded wetlands -- especially those that had been converted into farm fields -- actually decreases soil bacterial diversity. More than half of original wetland acreage in the U.S. has been destroyed or degraded, but some has been restored in recent decades under the federal government's "no net loss" policy. | |

| Genetics, modularity, mutation rate, horizontal gene transfer. Dr. Deem's specialty is statistical mechanics, specifically the computer simulation of complex molecular systems. He works in the areas of evolution, immunology, and materials. Dr. Deem has developed methods to quantify vaccine effectiveness and antigenic distance for influenza, methods to sculpt the immune system to mitigate immunodominance in dengue fever, a physical theory of the competition that allows HIV to escape from the immune system, and the first exact solution of a mathematical model of evolution that accounts for cross-species genetic exchange. Dr. Deem's recent study, published in the December 2007 'Physical Review Letters', found that genetic modularity arises spontaneously because of the selective pressure of a changing environment and the existence of horizontal gene transfer. | |
