"bio": "I was the Senior Digital Producer for KQED Food up until July, 2018. Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

That allows farmers to spray for weeds without killing the soybeans. But the seed is three times more expensive than regular unpatented seed, so some farmers have tried to use regenerated seed to save money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Case in point, 75-year-old farmer Hugh Bowman, who regularly bought Monsanto's Roundup-resistant soybean seed for his first growth and signed a licensing agreement promising to use all the seed and not to use any regenerated seed for future use. But Bowman also had other riskier, lower-yield plantings, and for those, he wanted \"a cheap source of seed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he went to the local grain elevator where farmers drop off their harvested soybeans, and he bought and planted some of those, knowing that those beans would likely also be Roundup-resistant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He eventually produced eight separate crop yields using the second and third generations of the grain elevator seed, and he was quite open about what he was doing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I couldn't imagine that they'd give a rat's behind,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they — namely, Monsanto — did. The company sued Bowman, as it has sued other farmers. Bowman lost in the lower courts and was ordered to pay $84,000 in damages to Monsanto. He appealed all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There the question before the justices pitted two legal doctrines against each other. One doctrine, known technically as patent exhaustion, says that once you buy a product — say, a cellphone — you can do with it whatever you want. You can use it, sell it, give it to your kids, whatever. But a second patent doctrine says you are forbidden to copy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So which rule applied in Bowman's case? The Supreme Court said unanimously that Bowman's actions amounted to illegal copying of a patented product, a sort of farming piracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Writing for the high court, Justice Elena Kagan said that Bowman is perfectly free to purchase grain elevator beans to eat or feed to livestock, or even to resell, but he could not do what he, in fact, did: plant the beans from the grain elevator in his own fields, test them for weed resistance, and then harvest, re-harvest and re-harvest multiple times, without paying Monsanto for use of its patented product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without this protection for Monsanto, said Kagan, the company would get \"scant benefit\" from its invention, and Bowman and other farmers would reap great rewards from the weed-resistant seed without paying for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kagan also rejected Bowman's argument that since soybeans naturally self-replicate by sprouting, it was the soybean, not Bowman himself, that made replications of the Monsanto's patented invention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think the blame-the-bean defense tough to credit,\" said Kagan. Bowman, she noted, \"was not a passive observer of his soybeans multiplication.\" Instead, Bowman himself produced eight separate crop yields using the grain elevator beans to maximize regeneration of the beans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Monsanto and other agribusiness enterprises were predictably pleased by the decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The court's ruling today ensures that long-standing principles of patent law apply to breakthrough 21st century technologies,\" said David Snively, Monsanto's executive vice president and general counsel. \"The ruling also provides assurance to all inventors throughout the public and private sectors that they can and should continue to invest in innovation that feeds people, improves lives, creates jobs and allows America to keep its competitive edge.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, critics of the industry were just as predictably disappointed. Andrew Kimbrell, director of the Center for Food Safety, called the decision a \"disaster\" for farmers and consumers, because it ensures that Monsanto's soybean seed patent will dominate the market even more, meaning that prices for both farmers and consumers will soar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court's decision, however, was explicitly limited to cases like Bowman's, where an individual takes steps to replicate a patented product. Justice Kagan said the court was not deciding how to handle all self-replicating products — products that range from patented DNA molecules to computer software.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or as John Whelan, George Washington University associate dean of intellectual property law put it, the court has \"left for another day\" the question of how to treat a product that \"automatically reproduces itself with no intervention.\" In the modern world of complex new inventions, it seems the court is not eager to get ahead of itself. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

But there are new questions being raised about the possible risks of reducing sodium too much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how low should we go? Currently, the government \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salt/pdfs/Sodium_Dietary_Guidelines.pdf\">recommends\u003c/a> that Americans should aim for 2,300 milligrams per day. And people older than 50, as well as those with high blood pressure, diabetes or kidney disease are advised to reduce sodium even further, down to 1,500 mg per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a panel of experts convened by the Institute of Medicine concludes in a \u003ca href=\"http://www.nap.edu/catalog.php?record_id=18311\">new report\u003c/a> that \"the evidence on direct health outcomes does not support recommendations to lower sodium intake ... to or even below 1,500 mg per day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why? We asked the committee chairman, \u003ca href=\"http://www.med.upenn.edu/apps/faculty/index.php/g275/p12954\">Brian Strom\u003c/a>, a dean and professor of public health at the University of Pennsylvania, to summarize the panel's findings for us. \"The net conclusion is that people who are eating too much sodium should lower their sodium, but it is possible that if you lower it too much you may do harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strom says a lot more research is needed to better understand how ultra-low-sodium diets may be beneficial or harmful. Strom pointed to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Paterna+Medium+term+effects+of+different+dosage+of+diuretic\">Italian study\u003c/a> of people with congestive heart failure as an example of research that has hinted that diets too low in sodium may be problematic for certain people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people on the low-sodium diet actually did worse [compared to those on medium-sodium diets],\" says Strom. \"They had more hospital re-admissions and they had a higher mortality rate.\" He says it's unclear if the results would be the same for Americans with congestive heart failure, since treatments here are different than they are in Italy. But, he says, the findings raise questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Heart Association, which recommends a low-sodium (1,500 mg) diet for all Americans, released a \u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.heart.org/news/new-iom-report-an-incomplete-review-of-sodiums-impact-says-american-heart-association\">statement\u003c/a> stating that it disagrees with the key findings of the new report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some preventive health experts are critical, too. The World Health Organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/healthinfo/global_burden_disease\">has concluded\u003c/a> that elevated blood pressure is the leading cause of preventable death, which suggests that staving off high blood pressure with low-sodium diets is an important strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sodium reduction remains a critically important component of public health efforts designed to ... prevent cardiovascular disease,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/gim/faculty/appel.html\">Lawrence Appel\u003c/a> of Johns Hopkins University writes in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appel points out that the studies that suggest that low-sodium diets are harmful tend to focus on \"sick populations in which illness leads to low sodium intake rather than the reverse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Some groups of Americans, including older adults and African-Americans, are especially sensitive to the blood-pressure lowering effects of cutting sodium, Appel says.

We asked the committee chairman, \u003ca href=\"http://www.med.upenn.edu/apps/faculty/index.php/g275/p12954\">Brian Strom\u003c/a>, a dean and professor of public health at the University of Pennsylvania, to summarize the panel's findings for us. \"The net conclusion is that people who are eating too much sodium should lower their sodium, but it is possible that if you lower it too much you may do harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strom says a lot more research is needed to better understand how ultra-low-sodium diets may be beneficial or harmful. Strom pointed to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Paterna+Medium+term+effects+of+different+dosage+of+diuretic\">Italian study\u003c/a> of people with congestive heart failure as an example of research that has hinted that diets too low in sodium may be problematic for certain people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The people on the low-sodium diet actually did worse [compared to those on medium-sodium diets],\" says Strom. \"They had more hospital re-admissions and they had a higher mortality rate.\" He says it's unclear if the results would be the same for Americans with congestive heart failure, since treatments here are different than they are in Italy. But, he says, the findings raise questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Heart Association, which recommends a low-sodium (1,500 mg) diet for all Americans, released a \u003ca href=\"http://newsroom.heart.org/news/new-iom-report-an-incomplete-review-of-sodiums-impact-says-american-heart-association\">statement\u003c/a> stating that it disagrees with the key findings of the new report.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And some preventive health experts are critical, too. The World Health Organization \u003ca href=\"http://www.who.int/healthinfo/global_burden_disease\">has concluded\u003c/a> that elevated blood pressure is the leading cause of preventable death, which suggests that staving off high blood pressure with low-sodium diets is an important strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Sodium reduction remains a critically important component of public health efforts designed to ... prevent cardiovascular disease,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/gim/faculty/appel.html\">Lawrence Appel\u003c/a> of Johns Hopkins University writes in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Appel points out that the studies that suggest that low-sodium diets are harmful tend to focus on \"sick populations in which illness leads to low sodium intake rather than the reverse.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/strong>Some groups of Americans, including older adults and African-Americans, are especially sensitive to the blood-pressure lowering effects of cutting sodium, Appel says.

For many aged cheeses, they're something of an industry nuisance, gently brushed off the cheeses. But for Mimolette, a bright orange French cheese, they're actually encouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mites munch on the rind for a few years and then are removed — usually with a blast of compressed air and a bit of hand-brushing — before Mimolette is sold. But there are always a few hiding behind. And now the FDA is cracking down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the FDA's Patricia El-Hinnawy, there's no official limit, but the target is no more than six mites per square inch. For Mimolette, that's a near impossible standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benoit de Vitton is the North American representative for \u003ca href=\"http://www.isigny-ste-mere.com/\">Isigny\u003c/a>, one of the largest producers of Mimolette. In March, de Vitton began receiving letters from each of the dozen importers he works with, saying that their Mimolette shipments had been detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Vitton estimates that he now has about a ton of cheese sitting in FDA warehouses in New Jersey. \"They say the product, because of the mites, it is not proper for human consumption,\" de Vitton sighs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, de Vitton notes that Mimolette itself is rumored to have been created because of import issues in the 17th century. \"The French were at war with Holland, and the king didn't want any more Dutch Gouda coming to France. So he asked to create kind of the same cheese.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the 21st century, do we need a cheese ban? Microbiologist Rachel Dutton runs a \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/site/theduttonlab/\">cheese lab\u003c/a> at Harvard University, and we checked in with her about the dangers of mites. Dutton notes that there have been some reports of mite allergies, but they seem to be restricted to people who have come into contact with large numbers of mites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Dutton says that while we may not like to think about bugs, they're a part of what makes cheese so delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cheese is absolutely alive,\" Dutton laughs. And all of that life — the molds, bacteria, yeasts and mites — help make cheese what it is. Dutton says that the mites on Mimolette can contribute flavors of their own (they have a somewhat earthy smell), and by eating into the rind, they can also increase aeration — and the surface area in which the other microbes can do their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutton understands that this doesn't sound appealing, but implores people to realize the good work of these bugs. \"There definitely are microbes that can spoil food and make either it bad for you to eat or just sort of gross. But any time you eat a piece of cheese or a bite of yogurt, have a piece of bread or a glass of wine — these are all examples of foods fermented by different types of microbes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout France, cheese lovers have been rallying in support of Mimolette. There are \u003ca href=\"http://www.franceinter.fr/emission-lactualite-du-bout-du-monde-avec-cecile-delarue-a-los-angeles\">radio stories\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HlTqY9cXtcY\">YouTube videos\u003c/a> — there's even an ex-pat \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SaveTheMimolette\">Save the Mimolette\u003c/a> Facebook campaign (of course).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In America, the response is a bit more subdued. Some cheesemongers are buying up the limited supply, but most are content to shrug it off. Sasha Davies, of \u003ca href=\"http://cyrilspdx.com/\">Cyril's\u003c/a> cheese/wine bar in Portland, is nervous about what the mite crackdown could mean for other aged cheeses, but in general is fine reaching for an aged Gouda instead of Mimolette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find I can scratch the itch I feel for Mimolette with a lot of other cheeses,\" she admits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davies says that the fervor for Mimolette isn't just about its caramel notes or lactic tang or bright orange color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are cheeses that — even though I think they taste delicious, they tug at my heartstrings, either because I love the person that makes them, or I have this great memory of being in a special place,\" she says. \"Food is never really just food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for many French people, Mimolette brings a taste of memory, family and home — as well as mites.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

For many aged cheeses, they're something of an industry nuisance, gently brushed off the cheeses. But for Mimolette, a bright orange French cheese, they're actually encouraged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mites munch on the rind for a few years and then are removed — usually with a blast of compressed air and a bit of hand-brushing — before Mimolette is sold. But there are always a few hiding behind. And now the FDA is cracking down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

For Mimolette, that's a near impossible standard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Benoit de Vitton is the North American representative for \u003ca href=\"http://www.isigny-ste-mere.com/\">Isigny\u003c/a>, one of the largest producers of Mimolette. In March, de Vitton began receiving letters from each of the dozen importers he works with, saying that their Mimolette shipments had been detained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De Vitton estimates that he now has about a ton of cheese sitting in FDA warehouses in New Jersey. \"They say the product, because of the mites, it is not proper for human consumption,\" de Vitton sighs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ironically, de Vitton notes that Mimolette itself is rumored to have been created because of import issues in the 17th century. \"The French were at war with Holland, and the king didn't want any more Dutch Gouda coming to France. So he asked to create kind of the same cheese.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the 21st century, do we need a cheese ban? Microbiologist Rachel Dutton runs a \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/site/theduttonlab/\">cheese lab\u003c/a> at Harvard University, and we checked in with her about the dangers of mites. Dutton notes that there have been some reports of mite allergies, but they seem to be restricted to people who have come into contact with large numbers of mites.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Dutton says that while we may not like to think about bugs, they're a part of what makes cheese so delicious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Cheese is absolutely alive,\" Dutton laughs. And all of that life — the molds, bacteria, yeasts and mites — help make cheese what it is. Dutton says that the mites on Mimolette can contribute flavors of their own (they have a somewhat earthy smell), and by eating into the rind, they can also increase aeration — and the surface area in which the other microbes can do their work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dutton understands that this doesn't sound appealing, but implores people to realize the good work of these bugs. \"There definitely are microbes that can spoil food and make either it bad for you to eat or just sort of gross. But any time you eat a piece of cheese or a bite of yogurt, have a piece of bread or a glass of wine — these are all examples of foods fermented by different types of microbes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Throughout France, cheese lovers have been rallying in support of Mimolette. There are \u003ca href=\"http://www.franceinter.fr/emission-lactualite-du-bout-du-monde-avec-cecile-delarue-a-los-angeles\">radio stories\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HlTqY9cXtcY\">YouTube videos\u003c/a> — there's even an ex-pat \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/SaveTheMimolette\">Save the Mimolette\u003c/a> Facebook campaign (of course).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In America, the response is a bit more subdued. Some cheesemongers are buying up the limited supply, but most are content to shrug it off. Sasha Davies, of \u003ca href=\"http://cyrilspdx.com/\">Cyril's\u003c/a> cheese/wine bar in Portland, is nervous about what the mite crackdown could mean for other aged cheeses, but in general is fine reaching for an aged Gouda instead of Mimolette.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find I can scratch the itch I feel for Mimolette with a lot of other cheeses,\" she admits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Davies says that the fervor for Mimolette isn't just about its caramel notes or lactic tang or bright orange color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There are cheeses that — even though I think they taste delicious, they tug at my heartstrings, either because I love the person that makes them, or I have this great memory of being in a special place,\" she says. \"Food is never really just food.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And for many French people, Mimolette brings a taste of memory, family and home — as well as mites.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nCopyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But now it's one more example of traditions emulsifying in the great American melting pot. Korean-American chef \u003ca href=\"http://chefedwardlee.com/bio/\">Edward Lee\u003c/a> makes that case with his new cookbook \u003cem>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fusion cooking comes naturally to Lee: He grew up in an immigrant neighborhood of Brooklyn surrounded by Jamaicans, Indians, Iranians and Jews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they immigrated to America, my parents deliberately decided they weren't going to live in the big Korean enclaves,\" Lee tells \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> host David Greene. \"They wanted to spread out and be amongst other people. That education in cuisine, ranging from so many different immigrant groups probably left more of a lasting impression on me in cuisine than anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their whole thing was 'You're an American. Be an American,' \" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Korean food was a way Lee connected with his grandmother. She rarely spoke of Korea because she didn't have very happy memories, he says, but \"food was the one thing that was kind of sacred and pure and hadn't been torn apart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61229\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/jacket-smoke-and-pickles_custom-81a07bcc08f7f834a9d2cee2223da2cc755705df-s3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/jacket-smoke-and-pickles_custom-81a07bcc08f7f834a9d2cee2223da2cc755705df-s3.jpg\" alt=\"Edward Lee's first cookbook, <em>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen, </em>features Korean-southern comfort food. <br /><figcaption class=\" wp-caption-text>Photo: Artisan Books\" width=\"250\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61229\" />\u003c/a> Edward Lee's first cookbook, \u003cem>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen, \u003c/em>features Korean-southern comfort food. \u003cbr>Photo: Artisan Books.\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a kid, Lee says he would hang out with her in the kitchen, and at first, she ignored him. \"I would, little by little, start helping her with things,\" he says. \"She got very annoyed by that at first. She's like, 'You're a man. You're not supposed to be here learning how to make kimchi — that's women's work.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, he says, they developed a strong bond that relied on few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Korean food was also how Lee established himself as a chef. In 1998 he opened a restaurant in Manhattan called Clay, which attracted a clientele that included plenty of celebrities. But the excitement wore off quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything seemed right on paper: Korean kid opens Korean restaurant,\" he says. \"But it just didn't feel right to me, and I wasn't incredibly proud of the food. I felt like it was just an extension of what I thought people wanted me to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started to re-evaluate things and decided to travel around the country. The farthest his family had traveled in his childhood was New Jersey. \"That was huge for us,\" he says. \"Although I grew up in America and I was influenced by all of the things that other Americans are, I had no idea what America was. It was this vast unknown beyond New Jersey.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in 2001 Lee went to places like Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., for the first time.

You're not supposed to be here learning how to make kimchi — that's women's work.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, he says, they developed a strong bond that relied on few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Korean food was also how Lee established himself as a chef. In 1998 he opened a restaurant in Manhattan called Clay, which attracted a clientele that included plenty of celebrities. But the excitement wore off quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything seemed right on paper: Korean kid opens Korean restaurant,\" he says. \"But it just didn't feel right to me, and I wasn't incredibly proud of the food. I felt like it was just an extension of what I thought people wanted me to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started to re-evaluate things and decided to travel around the country. The farthest his family had traveled in his childhood was New Jersey. \"That was huge for us,\" he says. \"Although I grew up in America and I was influenced by all of the things that other Americans are, I had no idea what America was. It was this vast unknown beyond New Jersey.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in 2001 Lee went to places like Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., for the first time.

Owsley determined that the Jamestown bones belonged to a girl, aged 14. They don't know anything about her, but have given her a name: Jane.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owsley found numerous cut marks on the cranium and jaw, all apparently done after the girl had died. \"There are clear chops to the forehead. They are very closely spaced,\" Owsley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These vertical cuts are evenly spaced and regular, and thus, he says, not the kind of wound you see in a struggle, but more likely made on a corpse. \"There are four chops to the back of the cranium,\" Owsley says — apparently, they were made as the assailant was trying to open her skull. It was done in a very unskillful way, Owsley notes. Then, there was a final chop that completely fractured the skull open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owsley also found marks on the jaw that looked like the result of sawing with a sharp object, and also compression fractures made by a knife point. On the only fragment of leg bone the researchers had, there were more cut marks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61190\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1120px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/mandible-cut-marks_wide-d1a52897aa55fce8e46f7488436b07af584a80fe-s40.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/mandible-cut-marks_wide-d1a52897aa55fce8e46f7488436b07af584a80fe-s40.jpg\" alt=\"Markings on the lower side of the jaw look like they were sawed with a sharp object, says forensic anthropologist Douglas Owsley.

Along with the written accounts, Owsley says the evidence points to cannibalism. \"Given the context of all of this put together, and the multiple, multiple cuts,\" he says, \"this is not anything that is done out of spite or vengeance or anything like that. It is, I think, a very clear intent.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The team has glued the skull back together and also sculpted a re-creation of what Jane would have looked like in the flesh, which they displayed today at the press conference: English, high cheekbones, regular features, pretty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smithsonian anthropologist \u003ca href=\"http://www.smithsonianeducation.org/scientist/bruwelheide.html\">Kari Bruwelheide\u003c/a> was on the team. \"When you have evidence of an event that's written down and recorded and talked about by survivors 400 years ago, it added weight to history.

They are very closely spaced,\" Owsley says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These vertical cuts are evenly spaced and regular, and thus, he says, not the kind of wound you see in a struggle, but more likely made on a corpse. \"There are four chops to the back of the cranium,\" Owsley says — apparently, they were made as the assailant was trying to open her skull. It was done in a very unskillful way, Owsley notes. Then, there was a final chop that completely fractured the skull open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owsley also found marks on the jaw that looked like the result of sawing with a sharp object, and also compression fractures made by a knife point.

In two new reports, the groups say they're worried that the preventive use of antibiotics is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which get harder to treat in humans and animals over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, \u003cem>Consumer Reports\u003c/em> released a \u003ca href=\"http://www.consumerreports.org/turkey0613\">report\u003c/a> looking at bacteria on turkey meat that are resistant to medicines used for humans. Scientists there tested 257 samples of raw ground turkey meat that they purchased at grocery stores around the country. They conclude that turkey meat that came from turkeys raised organically without antibiotics was significantly less likely to harbor resistant bacteria compared with meat from conventional turkeys that were given antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think these findings underscore a very important [government] recommendation that we don't need to feed healthy animals antibiotics every day to promote their growth and prevent disease,\" says Urvashi Rangan, director of the food safety and sustainability group at \u003cem>Consumer Reports.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings came on the heels of a \u003ca href=\"http:/www.ewg.org/meateatersguide/superbugs/\">report\u003c/a> from another consumer advocacy organization, the Environmental Working Group, which analyzed data collected by the federal government's \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/downloads/AnimalVeterinary/SafetyHealth/AntimicrobialResistance/NationalAntimicrobialResistanceMonitoringSystem/UCM334834.pdf\">National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System.\u003c/a> It also documented high levels of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in store-bought meats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Food and Drug Administration \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm348794\">took issue\u003c/a> with this EWG analysis, saying it came to \"misleading conclusions.\" But meanwhile, the agency has weighed in on the complex problem of antibiotic resistance by calling for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/newsevents/newsroom/pressannouncements/ucm217464.htm\">judicious use \u003c/a>of antibiotics in food-producing animals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One way FDA is working to address this issue [of resistance] is to phase out the use of antibiotics in food animals for growth promotion and feed efficiency,\" says Jalil Isa, a spokesman for the agency. \"FDA believes these drugs should be used only in situations where they are necessary for ensuring animal health, and done so under the oversight of a veterinarian.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.fda.gov/AnimalVeterinary/NewsEvents/CVMUpdates/ucm338178.htm\">data\u003c/a> from the FDA show that about 30 million pounds of antibiotics each year are purchased for use in farm animals. That's about \u003ca href=\"http://www.pewhealth.org/other-resource/record-high-antibiotic-sales-for-meat-and-poultry-production-85899449119\">four times more\u003c/a> than what doctors prescribe to people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 74 percent of those drugs aren't used to treat sick animals. Instead, farmers administer them at low doses to help animals grow faster and prevent infections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Diana Goodpasture of Akron, Ohio, knows what it's like to be sickened by a strain of salmonella bacteria that's resistant to antibiotic treatment. In June 2011, after she ate a turkey burger that she had grilled, she became so sick that she was hospitalized for five days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was terrible; it was the worst thing I ever experienced in my life,\" Goodpasture tells The Salt. She was infected with \u003ca href=\"http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/heidelberg/\">salmonella Heidelberg\u003c/a> that was resistant to three types of antibiotics: ampicillin, streptomycin and tetracycline. The tainted meat was part of a massive \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/08/05/139014983/salmonella-strain-in-turkey-recall-resists-antibiotics\">ground turkey recall. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Consumer Reports\u003c/em> briefed several government agencies on its findings, which were released April 30, on bacteria in ground turkey meat.

In two new reports, the groups say they're worried that the preventive use of antibiotics is contributing to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which get harder to treat in humans and animals over time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, \u003cem>Consumer Reports\u003c/em> released a \u003ca href=\"http://www.consumerreports.org/turkey0613\">report\u003c/a> looking at bacteria on turkey meat that are resistant to medicines used for humans. Scientists there tested 257 samples of raw ground turkey meat that they purchased at grocery stores around the country. They conclude that turkey meat that came from turkeys raised organically without antibiotics was significantly less likely to harbor resistant bacteria compared with meat from conventional turkeys that were given antibiotics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think these findings underscore a very important [government] recommendation that we don't need to feed healthy animals antibiotics every day to promote their growth and prevent disease,\" says Urvashi Rangan, director of the food safety and sustainability group at \u003cem>Consumer Reports.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
