Children With H.I.V. More Likely to Die of Malaria

The research, which looked at 3,000 Malawian children, partially resolves a question that has long puzzled H.I.V. specialists.

Immune system suppression makes one more susceptible to all infections.

A terrarium.

Malawi: U.N. Warns of a Food Crisis

More than 2.8 million people will not have enough to eat over the next several months because of floods and drought.

We can and should feed them for a year.
We should also pay the dues at the U.N.

New York City Council Initiates Steps to Ban the Manufacture of K2

Seeking to curb a public health crisis, the city proposed three bills that would ban the manufacturing of K2, also known as Spice and synthetic marijuana, and punish business owners for selling the drug.

There is probably another chemical in the pipeline.

Self medication is popular with the desperate.

Breakdown of U.N. Sustainable Development Goals

The new goals are meant to apply to every country, giving them a broader reach than a set of goals adopted in 2000, which were aimed mainly at developing countries.

Most people will not grow relatively poorer voluntarily.

Study Offers Support for Cancer Treatment During Pregnancy

Tests on children go against the prevailing wisdom of counseling women to deliver preterm or even terminate pregnancy before chemotherapy.

The doctors will be more willing than the women to treat cancer  during pregnancy.
Neither group will be enthusiastic.
The data looks good.

Masks and Other Air Pollution Defenses

I commute by car through an area of bad highway air pollution. Would wearing a surgical mask help protect me from health problems?

What about the rest of the day?
The car could be fitted with a filter and an activated charcoal gas trap.
Most houses and offices cannot be so fitted.

New Yorkers Fast, Jostle, Wait and Cook as Pope Visits

Residents and visitors tested their patience, prepared meals and remembered loved ones as the pope made his way through New York City on Friday.

A fan base.

Breaking Up Big Tech Would Harm Consumers

Two Berkeley business professors take issue with a Sunday Review article by Robert B. Reich.

Unregulated monopolies act against the public interest.
The regulating mechanism need not be government.
Corporations operate by maximizing return on investment.
Fiduciary responsibility allows no other actions.

Migrants in Germany Fleeing Poverty Find Only a Ticket Home

Berlin has put in place a system for sending home people who have come from poor but safe countries to seek jobs.

No poor country will be safe for returning migrants.

Science

Testing Neurons With Ultrasound

If the technique works in more complex animals, it would mean a noninvasive way to do basic research, and perhaps even treat brain circuits.

A new toy.

Faculty Council at Rutgers Says Coach’s Punishment Is Too Lenient

A resolution stops short of demanding the dismissal of Coach Kyle Flood, who has been suspended for three games.

He will be out next time.

A Very British Tea Party at the Spotted Pig

At her friend April Bloomfield’s New York City restaurant, Claire Ptak celebrates the stateside launch of her Violet Cakes cookbook.

I will let the occasion pass.

New Disclosure Rules for Mortgages

Starting Oct. 3, home mortgage lenders will use new consumer disclosure forms that explicitly break down the costs and terms associated with a loan.

I do not want a mortgage.

Espelette Pepper Expands Reach to Butter

Plus: a notable chocolate drink; a feast for your eyes; Peruvian-approved ceviche; a keyboard waffle iron; and a new Gourmet Garage in TriBeCa.

Raw fish is good.
