Antibiotics in Animals

So for my lifetime project i did antibiotics in animals. A recent article i came across was from the chicago tribune, called Livestock in U.S. Gobble up the Antibiotics by Melissa Healy of the LA Times. Basically it just discusses all the bad stuff about giving so much antibiotics to animals who don't need it. It's bad. that's about it, here's the link for more info... http://www.chicagotribune.com/health/la-heb-antibiotics-121410,0,2259200.story

Mark Madoff

I read an article about Mark Madoff, the son of Bernard L. Madoff, who stole billions of dollars from his clients. Prior to reading this article i didn't really know anything about the situation, so I'll sum it up for ya!
So Bernard Madoff somehow (i didn't really understand how) stole a very large amount of money from the people who gave it to him to invest, or something like that. It was a huge deal, lot's of angry people. This happened about two years ago.
This week his oldest son, Mark, commited suicide with his 2 year old in the next room, sleeping. He couldn't take the pressure anymore and emailed his wife to send someone over to take care of his son. His friends and family were shoked and all very sad, basically the article discussed how surprised people were. I didn't learn much about the actual scandal though. So there it is... http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2010/12/16/mark-madoffs-name-became-too-big-a-burden/?hp
