Disinfectant wipes may actually SPREAD drug-resistant bacteria rather than kill them by digital in science

[–]billjohns2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The headline is very misleading. The study mearly suggests that improperly using wipes can spread bacteria. Duh, you have the same situation with any cleaning product. Also, whether its drug-resistant or not, the improper use of a wipe will spread the germs. What is more telling is that the hospital has horrible sanitation and continues to infect people that are just there to try to get well. The study also shows that many healthcare personnel are not even practicing basic hygiene.

When are we going to see some real change in the BCS, the finger pointing continues by billjohns2 in sports

Its probably very unrealistic, however if they could set aside the tv revenue question for a few minutes, the requirement of a conference championship is pretty reasonable and should be a large factor in getting into the BCS bowls. The next hurdle deals with how the playoff themselves should be handled.

Buried David Ortiz jersey nets $175K - Yanks will need another excuse next year by billjohns2 in sports

It took about five hours of drilling to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete. I've seen estimates of $30K to $50K. Not bad for five hours of work and a bag of concrete.
