U.S. Uneasy About Biotech Food
Americans Lack Knowledge, Faith in FDA’s Accuracy, Poll Finds
By Rick Weiss
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, December 7, 2006; A16
Ten years after genetically engineered crops were first planted commercially in the United States, Americans remain ill-informed about and uncomfortable with biotech food, according to the fifth annual survey on the topic, released yesterday.
People vastly underestimate how much gene-altered food they are already consuming, lean toward wanting greater regulation of such crops and have less faith than ever that the Food and Drug Administration will provide accurate information, the survey found.
The poll also confirmed that most Americans, particularly women, do not like the idea of consuming meat or milk from cloned animals — a view that stands in contrast to scientific evidence that cloned food is safe. The FDA recently said it is close to allowing such food on the market.
Michael Fernandez, executive director of the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology, which sponsored the survey, said that overall, Americans are “still generally uncertain” about genetically modified and cloned foods. “How the next generation of biotech products is introduced — and consumers’ trust in the regulation of GM foods — will be critical in shaping U.S. attitudes in the long term.”
In the five years since Pew began plumbing American views of genetically engineered food, U.S. acreage in such crops has grown substantially. Today, 89 percent of soybeans, 83 percent of cotton and 61 percent of corn is genetically engineered to resist weed-killing chemicals or to help the plants make their own insecticides.
Because most processed foods contain at least small amounts of soy lecithin, corn syrup or related ingredients, almost everyone in the United States has consumed some amount of gene-altered food.
That quiet revolution has been punctuated by occasional high-profile problems, including the 2000 finding of StarLink corn, unapproved for human consumption, in many food products, and the recent revelation that the U.S. long grain rice crop has been contaminated with an experimental variety of gene-altered rice.
In this year’s survey, conducted by the Mellman Group, one-quarter of the 1,000 adults polled thought they had ever eaten gene-altered food, an indication that Americans have “very little in-depth knowledge of the topic,” according to a Pew summary.
Support for marketing of genetically modified food has remained flat since 2001 at 27 percent, with opposition dropping from 58 percent in 2001 to 46 percent this year.
The proportion of Americans who say they “don’t know” if gene-modified foods are safe has shrunk since 2001, while the “safe” and “unsafe” camps grew by about 5 percent each: 34 percent think they are safe, while 29 percent say they are not.
Of those who claim to have at least a rudimentary sense of how engineered foods are regulated, 41 percent say they would like to see more stringent rules, and 16 percent say there is already too much regulation.
Consuming cloned animals — addressed in the poll for the first time — popped up as a hot-button issue. Even among those who said they had no objection to eating genetically engineered foods, 34 percent were comfortable with animal cloning, while 51 percent were not.
Religion played a big role in those opinions. Among those who said they attend religious services only “a few times a year or less,” 30 percent were comfortable with animal cloning, and 54 percent were not. Among those who attend weekly religious services, 17 percent were comfortable with cloning, and 70 percent were not.
Asked which sources they trust “a great deal” for information about gene-altered foods, “friends and family” ranked highest, at 37 percent. Only 29 percent named the FDA, continuing a steady drop from 41 percent in 2001.
The least trustworthy source, garnering 11 percent, was the news media. But remember, you read it here first.

We have a research paper to do in language arts (its a history/reading/english grade all together worth 200 pts) It’s a big thing. My topic is The Battle of Quebec in the American Revolutionary War. We were suppose to go to our sources, and get the info on notecards then paraphrase on to our essays. (I paraphrased from the site to my notecards to my paper). We got our rough drafts back today from our teacher and she highlighted everything in pink that she thought was plagiarised. Most kids had 1 or 2 sentences highlighted. I had my whole paper highlighted when i DIDN”T plagiarise. According to her logic, she thinks we plagiarised if we used big words that she thinks we don’t know. In my article I used big words because i KNOW the bigs words. SO she wants me to re-write my own words a 2nd time to make them sound un-intelligent. I truely didn’t plagiarise, and she forgets the fact that i’m in the Writting Club in school. I got INTO the club by writting about battles (I love writing about battles/strategies) but she forgets that. I’m so mad! She wants us to write stupid. If we sound intelectual thats a ‘red flag’ to her. And then at the end of the day today I went up to her and asked her a question about something TOTALLY different (about a different article we are researching) and she was sour, nasty, and sarcastic with me.
I’m not going to re-write my own words a 2nd time to make them sound less smart. Thats just wrong..
what do you guys think?
(quick note: when I write I try my best to use a better vocabulary then I do when normal speaking. And If she doesn’t stop bitching to me I’m so close to leaving the Writing Team..)
i’m not going to have my writting be judged so negatively…

Discuss the cause and effects of global
warming on the Bahamas then offer viable solutions
Global warming, what does it mean? Global warming is often referred to as “the greenhouse effect”. Both imply the absorption of energy radiated from earth’s surface by carbon dioxide and other gasses in the atmosphere. Global warming threatens the whole world. Though it has had little noticeable impact on the world so far, its potential impact could be disastrous which is why global warming has become an issue ever present in the media and for governments. There are many causes such as greenhouse effect through the burning of fossil fuels, the rise in sea level, and pollution. You have heard that for every cause, there is an effect; well, the effects for us are. Agricultural practices, climate change, and the economic consequences and the solutions are renewable energy the Bahamas need to announce target for reduction for emission
There are many causes of the greenhouse effect. The most common greenhouse gas is Carbon dioxide; Carbon dioxide and its associate greenhouse gases. The Bahamas depend solely they are released by the burning of fossil fuels; which is a major leading cause of concern for the Bahamas. These emissions can be seen when you start your car on a cold early morning and the muffler smokes. Also, the more cars sit for a long period of time on the road the more CO2 is admitted into the air. It can be seen in the form of smoke in the heavily populated cities like New Providence and Grand Bahama. Many things contribute to global warming. Such things are industries, transportation, electricity used, waste produced, and agriculture. The greenhouse is very vital to our being. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would not be warm enough for the human race to live. But if the greenhouse effect becomes stronger, it could make the earth warmer than usual. Even a little extra warming may cause problems for humans, plants, and animals to carry on everyday life.
Another cause for global warming is the rise in see level; most of our islands is in 5ft of mean sea level. The Bahamas being a low-line area; it is likely that the fresh water ponds will be severally affect in some islands of the Bahamas. There are many well fields in some of the islands of the Bahamas, which will become contaminated due to the rise in sea level; this spells disaster for those islands whose water is pumped from well fields meanly Andros and Grand Bahama. Paragraph 6 of Climate Change in the Caribbean by Larry smith states that, “Indications are that some fresh water marshes in the Bahamas have already become brackish, which may be attributed to rising sea levels. And it is known that well fields on Andros and Grand Bahama have been badly affected by storm surge in the past five years. Scientist are fervently trying to find ways to counter act the effects that the rising waters are causing, which includes island and beach erosion. Evidence of the public’s ignorance of the inevitable impact of Sea Level Rising is shown in the millions of people that are flocking to the coast. Rising sea levels, winds, and currents are constantly eroding beaches, and in fact whole islands are disappearing.
First, air pollution causes a great deal of health problems. Wanting clean air is a good reason because air that is polluted can damage human health. Indeed, the air pollution causes numerous diseases and increase health problems like the asthma or breathing problems; thus this is a real concern! Some persons cannot live in a big city because of the high rate of air pollution in it. However, our health is not the only to be threatened, our environment is threatened too. Indeed, the air pollution causes some disorders on the environment. Bahamians have another source of pollution; Cruise ships in the Bahamas produce enormous quantities of unwanted gases and fumes. This makes it a major contributor of pollution in the islands. For instance, a cruise ship that calls upon the Bahamas spent one day in Nassau harbour or a few days at other developed islands. “Most cruise ship uses about 300 tonnes of fuel per day at sea, and significant amounts while in harbour”. {English 119 booklet Paragraph. 7}
The Bahamas is a very low- line country; the highest point being 206 ft above sea level; thus, this make this makes the Bahamas vulnerable to the effect of climate change and higher temperatures and even an increase flooding due to heavier rains; this will result in more malaria, dengue and other tropical diseases. As former Best Commission advisor John Hammerton said recently, Given that most of the Bahamas is a low-line coastal zone subject to storm surge and sea level rise, we should be anticipating the possible impacts of climate change and developing strategies to protect our habitats and landscapes based on the predications.” Climate change could also have a serve effect on natural disasters.

This is the last activity for the semester and I have to get an A on this to pass the class, could people please give me good opinions on this? I could really use the help.
Colorado University has enjoyed an incredibly successful year in football for the first
time in a long time largely due to their most valuable player, a junior communication
major. The coach is ecstatic since he recruited this player. The administration of CU is
equally pleased since the success of the football program at CU has initiated increased
enrollment and opened up new sources of external funding with the promise of additional
increases in the future.
However, one of the player’s professors has gathered irrefutable evidence that the
university’s star player cheated on the final exam in a communication class. Additionally,
there is good reason to believe that the coach actually helped the player obtain a copy of
the final test in order to insure that his GPA would remain high enough to continue to play
football at CU during the following season. The communication professor has brought the
problem to the attention of the chair of the Department of Communication who has, in
turn, consulted with the dean who bumped the problem to higher administration officials,
including the president of CU. In response to these charges, the player has admitted to
the cheating but explained that for a month before the exam, he spent many hours
helping his sibling care for their mother who was dying with cancer and wished to remain
home. The player explained that his care giving duties limited his time to prepare
properly for the communication final.
CU policy requires that any student proved guilty of academic dishonesty be expelled
from the university. However, CU policy also requires that a group of the accused
student’s peers review the alleged infraction, including any extenuating circumstances,
and make recommendations regarding the case at hand as well as the disciplinary policy
itself.
CU has formed your group to assess this academic dishonesty case. Your task is to
provide solutions in the form of recommendations to the university. For this case, you
must provide a recommendation as well as reasons for that recommendation. While it is
possible to solve this problem at a shallow or superficial level and not think about the
situation completely, you are required to identify and work out some of the more subtle
complexities involved in the case. In other words, while examining this specific case, also
decide if something should be done regarding the general policies at CU. You will use the
problem-solving strategies from your text to solve this problem. Your group must reach
consensus on your recommendation.
Your FINAL SOLUTION post for this exercise should include the following items:
• Identify and define the problem. (Reiterate what you see as the problem(s).)
• Analyze the problem. (Briefly describe how your group assessed the problem. This
should include discussion about the specific problem and any overlying problems – with
policy, etc. Also, tell me if your group used any of the Tools for Analyzing a Problem
listed in the text.)
• Identify possible solutions. (Reiterate the possible solutions your group came up with in
discussion.)
• Select the best solution. (Tell me what your final solution was. Indicate how you
decided on this solution. What tools of Evaluating Solutions did you use in the process?)
• Implement the solution. (Tell me how your decision should be carried out.)

On those halcyon afternoons, to the world a little boy smiled, for he knew, on the TV, superman would triumph the evil one more time; for he knew, next time he would get an excellent score if he studied diligently; for he knew, he could grow as high as Michael Jordan if he kept playing basketball; for he knew, impossible was nothing as the advertisement indicated. He knew them for sure.
For him, success only desired those like Beethoven, who, with dedication and resolution, aimed at what they expected, worked zealously without exhaust, and grasped the spirit of perseverance. For him, the bliss of success was already there; the only problem was: he need experience the whole, including those strenuous, parts of it.
Then the boy gradually turned out who I am now.
A few months ago, I vigorously looked for an internship on weekends in a bank. Having called a bank’s officer, hopefully expressed my reasons and advantages, and not received an absolutely disappointing answer, I went to that bank on Saturday only to be informed those managers weren’t at office. Next Monday, I carefully dressed myself and ambitiously yet somehow fearfully went to that bank again. Pressing the 30 bottom in the elevator, I was so nervous that I must forcibly compel myself to smile. At reception desk, I passionately demonstrate my inclinations, as if she would help me call someone in charge other than smile hypocritically. Immediately after I left that bank, I called that officer again and under my ardent request, he agreed to interview me 3 days later. Brainstorming my mind, asking all my friends for advice, researching all the sources, I formulated a plan that, if achieved successfully, could increase deposits in this bank by, at least, 300,000$. On that morning, somber as the sky was, I faithfully, for the third time, went to that bank. After optimistically waiting for 10 minutes, a general manager came to that cozy meeting room. However, without sitting down, he began the conversation directly with “let me talk to you briefly”. The regulations, my age, my education level, my…numerous reasons to reject me. As for my plan, he said it’s not his responsibility to make specific market strategies.
Hardly could I explain anything before he finally politely said good luck next time to me.
Apart from melancholy mood, I thought critically whether my endeavors and determinations desired no more than such 10 minutes, whether there were far more things beyond human’s power of persistence and fortitude, whether I should change my philosophy.
Now, albeit the difficulties, whether naturally or socially, physiologically or mentally, while permitting me to understand the world more maturely, make me cast doubts on my belief, the impetus ignited by my childish creed has not yet faded from my mind. After all, I have strived for my best, enhanced my ability and experienced the thrill on the journey, whether splendid success or unfortunately lose, let god dispose, whatever, I have no regret to myself.

What Does It Mean To Be A High School Writer?
Different theories effect how literacy influences adolescents today. In 1980, many scholars believed memorization was the way to literacy in England (Rigby pg. 459). In Rome, learning phonics was the path to a literate life (Bertonneau spara. 4), Now, Riesland argues over whether writing is even necessary to be considered literate (Riesland para 9). Knowing these alternative teaching methods we are urged to conform to each teacher’s classification. High school writing is a game, we start playing it at a very young age. The purpose is to write according to what you think the teacher find acceptable. We write with caution since the finished result will be picked apart and inspected.
When in class, everything that we do is based on the grade. We take notes, not on what we believe is interesting, but on what we think the teacher believes is important, our own ideas are pushed aside to make room for the instructor’s thoughts. The whole concept of high school is to obtain an ‘A’, even at elementary level, when students are given a task they reluctantly grab a pen and halfheartedly jot down something, anything apt enough to obtain the grade that they want. Will they write to their fullest potential if they already wrote what will get them a satisfactory grade? No, they will simply leave their paper as is, total “bull” (Perry.); lacking the “umph” it needed to be an honorable piece of literature.
We lack motivation and are too lazy to think. “Thinking, as Voltaire avowed, is a very tedious process which men or women will do anything to avoid.” (Hunt) We need a society that does not just look at grades. William Perry, a scholar who studied the relation between education and the development of personality, concluded that universities are looking for a black and white answer. Perry contrasts two epistemologies, one he calls “bull”, and the other known as “cow”. Essentially, bull is more analytical, and does not involve data or facts. Conversely, cow is pure textbook fact. According to Perry, “the grades which we assign on examinations communicate to students what [the professors beliefs] may be” Who is to judge if your paper is literate or not? According to Gee, literacy is based on your social context. If you can “[use] language and [make] sense in [your] speech and writing” you are considered literate. (Gee.) Is the paper fully cow or is it pure bull, and how does one decide which acquires a better grade if they are both deserving of E’s?
High school writer is being locked into a specific definition for the word ‘literacy’. Different areas have different expectations, Street argues that there is no definition for the word literacy; it “is not a measure… of skills, but [of] social practices that vary from one context to another.”(Street.) Riesland says that the “definition of literacy is outdated and that the new definition must account for the technologically evolving landscape.”( Riesland para. 2-3) A variety of people will judge what they think literacy is differently. A wealthy Maine Line teacher’s idea of it is going to be extremely dissimilar to an elderly teacher in Uganda. Literacy has to do with relativity of people and the context they use it in.
After delving into the many different pieces talking about literature I feel that I am more lost now than I was when I started writing this paper. Gee, Hunt, Street, and Perry are all intellectuals with totally different perspectives on the topic of literacy. I learned that there is no correct way of measuring if someone is literate or not. A high school writer is just conforming to their teacher’s theory. I hope after you read this you will learn to think outside of the box, no one thinks in black and white, so do not be afraid to write in color. Students should stop cheating themselves of insightful work. It is better to argue something and find challenging questions, than to accept something as is. Even if you never get hold of an answer, it is more rewarding to know you strived for it. That sense of accomplishment is the best feeling you will ever have.
