[tips] Article on circadian rhythm and metabolic disorders
Dear TIPSters, I found this article (Out of Sync) to be a very interesting one. http://www.the-scientist.com//?articles.view/articleNo/37269/title/Out-of-Sync/ It is from _The Scientist_ and discusses the link between circadian rhythms, zeitgebers, eating, obesity, and metabolic disorders. I plan on having my Brain and Behavior students read it (I made what I hope are helpful notations on the copy I'm having my students read). I think it posits an intriguing account of why we in "first world" countries, with altered sleeping and eating habits exacerbated by our leisure activity choices, tend to suffer from certain metabolic disorders more often than others. It seems to tie research together in nice ways by linking studies of obesity and studies of sleep to disorders and supporting the work with animal research. It also introduces (or reiterates) the concept of epigenomes. I thought maybe others would be interested in it for their students.

Re: [tips] Do Orthodox Jews Believe in Vaccination?
As my favorite Rabbi said: The Torah says 'Thou shalt -live- by these commandments'. When in doubt, do what is necessary to go on living.

[tips] Do Orthodox Jews Believe in Vaccination?
Michael asked if there was an Orthodox Jewish position on vaccinating one's children and Where in the Torah, Talmud, or Pentateuch (sic) are medical issues addressed? (Just FYI, Michael, the Torah IS the Pentateuch.) But if you really want to know the answers to your question, just do a Google search for "Jewish Belief Vaccinations" and you'll find more than you ever wanted to know on the issue, including numerous references from Torah & Talmud. But the short answer is that most rabbis (including most Orthodox rabbis) do not object to vaccination and the vast majority would promote vaccination. That being said, there may be some ultraorthodox (Hassidic) sects who oppose vaccination but even most Hassidic sects would not oppose vaccination. The same could be said Christians, most agree with the policy of vaccinations for children but sects actively oppose it. . Edward I.
