Malnutrition is directly responsible for 300,000 deaths
per year in children younger than 5 years in developing
countries and contributes indirectly to over half the deaths in
childhood worldwide.
The adverse effects of malnutrition include physical and
developmental manifestations. Poor weight gain and slowing of
linear growth occur. Impairment of immunologic functions in
these .....(15)..... mimics those observed in children with AIDS,
predisposing them to opportunistic and other typical childhood
infections. Children who are chronically malnourished exhibit
behavioral changes, including irritability, apathy and decreased
social responsiveness, anxiety, and attention deficits. In
addition, infants and young children who have malnutrition
frequently demonstrate developmental delay or permanent
cognitive deficits. The degree of delay and deficit depends on
the severity and duration of nutritional compromise and the age
at which malnutrition occurs. In general, nutritional insults at
younger ages will have worse outcomes. .....(16)..... death from
malnutrition in the United States is rare, in developing countries,
more than 50% of the 10 million deaths each year are either
directly or indirectly secondary to malnutrition in children
younger than 5 years.
Children are most vulnerable to the effects of
malnutrition in infancy and early childhood. Premature infants
have special nutritional needs that are not met with traditional
feeding recommendations; they require fortified human milk or
specially designed preterm formula until later in infancy. Children
are susceptible to malnutrition for differing reasons. During
adolescence, self-imposed dietary restrictions contribute to the
incidence of nutritional deficiencies.

WTO Complaint Against U.S. Corn Grows
DAVOS, Switzerland -- The European Union, Australia, Argentina and Brazil have joined Canada in a complaint against the United States over what they claim are illegal government handouts to American corn growers, trade officials said Monday. The request for consultations, filed by the four trading powers and others at the Geneva-based World Trade Organization, threatens a major commercial dispute at a time when global free trade talks remain stalled over agricultural tariffs and subsidies and the U.S. begins debating a new multibillion-dollar farm bill. Under WTO rules, a three-month consultation period is required before a country can ask the trade body to launch a formal investigation. AWTO case can result in punitive sanctions being authorized, but panels take many months, and sometimes years, to reach a decision.
Canada lodged its complaint on Jan. 8, claiming that some $9 billion paid out by the U.S. annually in export credit guarantees and other subsidies unfairly and illegally deflated international corn prices.
"This is not just about corn," said Clodoaldo Hugueney, Brazilian ambassador to the WTO. "Brazil is the world's largest ethanol exporter, so this is an important issue for us."
Hugueney said any country's large subsidy program concerns Brazil as a major agriculture exporter. (…)
The WTO, in a case brought by Brazil, already has ruled that some cotton subsidies are illegal and the administration of U.S. President George W. Bush has been coming under pressure to reform a number of its farm support programs.
"Many of the issues in Canada's complaint we have also complained about concerning U.S. cotton programs," said Hugueney in a telephone interview from Geneva.
Canada's complaint over U.S. corn support also challenged whether the billions of dollars in overall farm subsidies paid out by the U.S. government comply with international commerce rules.
It argued that U.S. subsidy levels for a number of years on farm products including wheat, sugar and soybeans were illegal and urged Washington to address its concerns when drafting the farm bill that will set out American agricultural support programs for the next five years.
The U.S. says it has offered cuts as part of the WTO's global free trade talks, but others have called the pledges largely artificial, addressing only permitted levels of government subsidies and failing to cut what Washington actually gives to its farmers.

Paulo César Nóbrega is one of 40 milion people living with HIV/AIDS. This is story:
Like most young people of my generation, I started using drugs as an adolescent. By the time I was 16, I was taking cannabis, hallucinogens and injecting drugs. Soon, my addiction led me to drug trafficking. Between 1985 and 1993, I was imprisoned in the city of São Paulo, Brazil, where I was diagnosed HIV-positive.
Initially, I was shocked. But I didn't really know what HIV or AIDS were, which is why I continued using drugs and sharing needles with other inmates. We received no guidance or preventive care.
In prison, AIDS first manifested itself through tuberculosis, an illness I suffered from three times. Although I was eventually given anti-retroviral medicines, I continued taking drugs and only restarted the treatment in earnest after abandoning drugs for good in 1999.
At that time, I was a member of a support group in my hometown, the coastal city of São Vicente, and was close to other HIV-positive people. We soon decided to establish the Hipupiara NGO to promote a sense of unity among people living with HIV and to improve their quality of life.
Unfortunately, I suffered a lot of prejudice for being HIV-positive, including from members of my family. I was also denied jobs. Then, in 2001, I started working as a fisherman, a job I retired from in 2005, at 50, due to poor health.
Today, I am free of drugs and am sticking to the treatment. I work as a volunteer for Hipupiara, contacting drug users in the city and referring them to treatment and assistance services.
Thanks to all the information I have accumulated about HIV/AIDS, I can now face and beat prejudice. People infected with HIV and drug users should not close up or avoid talking about their problems; we should help each other so that we can all lead a better life.

Good Stuff? - A Consumption Manifesto:
The Top Ten Principles of Good Consumption
Consumption is one of life's great pleasures. Buying
things we desire, traveling to beautiful places, eating
delectable food: icing on the cake of life. But too often the
effects of our blissful consumption make for a sad story.
Giant cars exhaling dangerous exhaust, hog farms pumping
out harmful pollutants, toxic trash pestering poor
neighborhoods - none of this if there weren't something
to sell.
But there's no need to trade pleasure for guilt. With
thoughtfulness and commitment, consumption can be a force
for good. Through buying what we need, produced the way
we want, we can create the world we'd like to live in.
To that end and for the future, a Consumption Manifesto:
Principle One. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This brilliant triad
says it all. Reduce: Avoid buying what you don't need-
and when you do get that dishwasher/lawnmower/toilet,
spend the money up front for an efficient model. Re-use:
Buy used stuff, and wring the last drop of usefulness out of
most everything you own. Recycle: Do it, but know that
it's the last and least effective leg of the triad. (Ultimately,
recycling simply results in the manufacture of more things.)
Principle Two. Stay close to home. Work close to home
to shorten your commute; eat food grown nearby; support
local businesses; join local organizations. All of these will
improve the look, shape, smell, and feel of your community.
Principle Three. Internal combustion engines are polluting,
and their use should be minimized. Period.
Principle Four. Watch what you eat. Whenever possible,
avoid food grown with pesticides, in feedlots, or by
agribusiness. It's an easy way to use your dollars to vote
against the spread of toxins in our bodies, land, and water.
Principle Five. Private industries have very little incentive
to improve their environmental practices. Our consumption
choices must encourage and support good behavior; our
political choices must support government regulation.
Principle Six. Support thoughtful innovations in
manufacturing and production. Hint: Drilling for oil is no
longer an innovation.
Principle Seven. Prioritize. Think hardest when buying
large objects; don't drive yourself mad fretting over the small
ones. It's easy to be distracted by the paper bag puzzle,
but an energy-sucking refrigerator is much more worthy of
your attention. (Small electronics are an exception.)
Principle Eight. Vote. Political engagement enables the
spread of environmentally conscious policies. Without
public action, thoughtful individuals are swimming
upstream.
Principle Nine. Don't feel guilty. It only makes you sad.
Principle Ten. Enjoy what you have-the things that are
yours alone, and the things that belong to none of us. Both
are nice, but the latter are precious. Those things that we
cannot manufacture and should never own-water, air, birds,
trees-are the foundation of life's pleasures. Without them,
we're nothing. With us, there may be nothing left. It's our
choice.

Good Stuff? - A Consumption Manifesto:
The Top Ten Principles of Good Consumption
Consumption is one of life's great pleasures. Buying
things we desire, traveling to beautiful places, eating
delectable food: icing on the cake of life. But too often the
effects of our blissful consumption make for a sad story.
Giant cars exhaling dangerous exhaust, hog farms pumping
out harmful pollutants, toxic trash pestering poor
neighborhoods - none of this if there weren't something
to sell.
But there's no need to trade pleasure for guilt. With
thoughtfulness and commitment, consumption can be a force
for good. Through buying what we need, produced the way
we want, we can create the world we'd like to live in.
To that end and for the future, a Consumption Manifesto:
Principle One. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This brilliant triad
says it all. Reduce: Avoid buying what you don't need-
and when you do get that dishwasher/lawnmower/toilet,
spend the money up front for an efficient model. Re-use:
Buy used stuff, and wring the last drop of usefulness out of
most everything you own. Recycle: Do it, but know that
it's the last and least effective leg of the triad. (Ultimately,
recycling simply results in the manufacture of more things.)
Principle Two. Stay close to home. Work close to home
to shorten your commute; eat food grown nearby; support
local businesses; join local organizations. All of these will
improve the look, shape, smell, and feel of your community.
Principle Three. Internal combustion engines are polluting,
and their use should be minimized. Period.
Principle Four. Watch what you eat. Whenever possible,
avoid food grown with pesticides, in feedlots, or by
agribusiness. It's an easy way to use your dollars to vote
against the spread of toxins in our bodies, land, and water.
Principle Five. Private industries have very little incentive
to improve their environmental practices. Our consumption
choices must encourage and support good behavior; our
political choices must support government regulation.
Principle Six. Support thoughtful innovations in
manufacturing and production. Hint: Drilling for oil is no
longer an innovation.
Principle Seven. Prioritize. Think hardest when buying
large objects; don't drive yourself mad fretting over the small
ones. It's easy to be distracted by the paper bag puzzle,
but an energy-sucking refrigerator is much more worthy of
your attention. (Small electronics are an exception.)
Principle Eight. Vote. Political engagement enables the

Brian Krebs on Computer Security
Three of the most aggressive buyers of online advertising
space today agreed to ...53... fines and reform their advertising
practices as part of a landmark anti-spyware settlement.
Mobile phone giant Cingular Wireless LLC, and travel
sites Priceline.com and Travelocity.com agreed to settle their
part in an ongoing investigation by the New York State Attorney
General's office, which last year sued adware/spyware purveyor
DirectRevenue for deceptively and fraudulently installing its popup
ad serving and Web tracking software on millions of PCs
...54... approval or consent of consumers.
This is an important settlement on a number of levels.
Online help forums are awash in desperate messages from
consumers ...55... machines were besieged by pop-up ads after
visiting a Web site that used slimy drive-by tactics to install
DirectRevenue's software, which is notoriously difficult to
remove from a host machine.
Perhaps more significantly, these advertisers were just
as culpable for supporting DirectRevenue's sleazy business
practices long after anti-spyware activists like Ben Edelman,
Suzi Turner and others published evidence of the illegal
distribution methods of DirectRevenue and the Webmasters it
paid to install its software. Experts consistently documented
adware bundles like the ones distributed by DirectRevenue
being installed on computers that contract distributors had
already infected with computer viruses and worms.
Ari Schwartz, deputy director for the Center for
Democracy & Technology, a consumer policy group in
Washington, D.C., said today's settlement was important
because it recognizes the oft-overlooked role that advertisers
continue to play in supporting the adware and spyware industry.
"The dirty secret about unwanted adware is that many
legitimate companies - knowingly or not - fund its proliferation
with their advertising dollars. Until we cut off that funding, there
will always be a financial incentive for companies to bombard
users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
While the settlement is a welcome and important one, the
terms and fines could have been a bit stiffer. Under the terms of
the agreement, all three companies will have to pay between
$30,000 and $35,000 each to New York state. In addition, "prior
to contracting with a company to deliver their ads, and quarterly
thereafter, the companies must investigate how their online ads
are delivered. The companies must immediately cease using
adware programs that violate the settlement agreements or their
own adware policies."

practices as part of a landmark anti-spyware settlement.
Mobile phone giant Cingular Wireless LLC, and travel
sites Priceline.com and Travelocity.com agreed to settle their
part in an ongoing investigation by the New York State Attorney
General's office, which last year sued adware/spyware purveyor
DirectRevenue for deceptively and fraudulently installing its popup
ad serving and Web tracking software on millions of PCs
...54... approval or consent of consumers.
This is an important settlement on a number of levels.
Online help forums are awash in desperate messages from
consumers ...55... machines were besieged by pop-up ads after
visiting a Web site that used slimy drive-by tactics to install
DirectRevenue's software, which is notoriously difficult to
remove from a host machine.
Perhaps more significantly, these advertisers were just
as culpable for supporting DirectRevenue's sleazy business
practices long after anti-spyware activists like Ben Edelman,
Suzi Turner and others published evidence of the illegal
distribution methods of DirectRevenue and the Webmasters it
paid to install its software. Experts consistently documented
adware bundles like the ones distributed by DirectRevenue
being installed on computers that contract distributors had
already infected with computer viruses and worms.
Ari Schwartz, deputy director for the Center for
Democracy & Technology, a consumer policy group in
Washington, D.C., said today's settlement was important
because it recognizes the oft-overlooked role that advertisers
continue to play in supporting the adware and spyware industry.
"The dirty secret about unwanted adware is that many
legitimate companies - knowingly or not - fund its proliferation
with their advertising dollars. Until we cut off that funding, there
will always be a financial incentive for companies to bombard
users with adware that they neither want nor need," Schwartz
said in a written statement.
While the settlement is a welcome and important one, the
terms and fines could have been a bit stiffer. Under the terms of
the agreement, all three companies will have to pay between
$30,000 and $35,000 each to New York state. In addition, "prior
to contracting with a company to deliver their ads, and quarterly
thereafter, the companies must investigate how their online ads
are delivered. The companies must immediately cease using
adware programs that violate the settlement agreements or their
own adware policies."
