Jan. 31, 2007 - a bunch of bull (s)

I did not know this sort of business operated in Central Ohio.  Columbus Business First had an article about a  Bull service ... bovine breeding service  (Select Sires) for cattle and dairy cows in Plain City.  Select Sires has a new CFO.  According to Columbus Business First :

bull

"Select Sires is a cooperative is owned by 10 farmers nationwide and provides dairy and cattle semen for livestock breeders. It employs 165 at its headquarters in Plain City and does not disclose annual revenue."  

Select Sires website says:

"Still America's Best for Balanced Genetics" and "America's Best" and "The Worlds Source for Bovine Genetics"

 

Select Sires contact info includes:

Select Sires Inc.
11740 US 42 N; P.O. Box 143
Plain City, OH 43064-0143

Jan. 24, 2007 - Suburban Sprawl in Central Ohio

                                                    Suburban HouseAfter days of blogging about food..  (restaurants, pizza, cake, ice cream... no.. wait,  ice cream won't be published until later today...) on both Discover Columbus and Columbus Best Blog ... nows a great time to  bring up weight....

Thanks to Brad Nix's Atlanta 575 Real Estate Blog article"Move to Suburbia and get fat"  catching my attention with an article in Science News, the week of January 20, 2007 enttitled  "Weighing In on City Planning" by Ben Harder is subtitled "Could smart urban design keep people fit and trim?"    There is no mention of Columbus...

We've heard Columbus called "FAT!" by various sources ...  but which comes first the fried chicken or the three egg omelet? The question is do neighborhoods make us fat or do we choose neighborhoods because we need more room... the Science News info is the same people.. same theories the Smart Growth Online  website used when they published "Mixed-Use Neighborhoods Decrease Risk of Obesity" in 2004 which also included:  

"Skeptics, like Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions president Samuel R. Staley of Columbus, Ohio, think maybe less physically active people simply prefer sprawling neighborhoods, while the more active like compact ones. In a free society, he said, ''People should have the choice to live somewhere where they can be fat.''

The Buckeye Institute for Public Policy Solutions

Please visit Columbus Best Blog if this has not turned you off eating... and tell me about your Top 10 Favorite Central Ohio Restaurants....
