	John Snow pub
		The building housing the John Snow pub was built in the 1870s and was originally called the "Newcastle-upon-Tyne." Although John Snow was apprenticed in 1827 to a Newcastle-upon-Tyne surgeon, William Hardcastle, there is no evidence that the previous name of the inn was other than fortuitous.
		John Snow (1813-58), the London doctor of obstetric anaesthesia fame, was also an expert in epidemiology with an abiding interest in the study of cholera.
		Snow found a sewer pipe within a few feet of the well and reasoned that the pipe was contaminating the well and the pump water.

		John Snow (1813-1858) was a leading British anesthesiologist who volunteered for several years to conduct his own investigations of the mode of cholera transmission.
		Snow is best known for his investigations and intervention during a "most terrible outbreak" of cholera that began on August 31, 1854 in the Broad Street, Golden Square section of London.
		Snow asked for the pump handle to be removed, and the outbreak - which had already begun to decline due to a fleeing populace and the deaths of many in the neighborhood - was terminated.

		John Snow (1813-1858) was educated at a private school until, at the age of fourteen, he was apprenticed to a surgeon living at Newcastle-on-Tyne.
		In 1849 Snow published a small pamphlet "On the Mode of Communication of Cholera" where he proposed that the "Cholera Poison" reproduced in the human body and was spread through the contamination of food or water.
		Through mapping the locations of deaths related to Cholera, Snow was able to pinpoint one of the major sources of causation of the disease and support his argument relating to the spread of Cholera.

		Snow's work with the London cholera outbreaks of the 1850s, is often cited as the beginning of modern epidemiology.
		John Snow reasoned that if cholera was spread by a mist or miasma, as the prevailing theories suggested, then the cases should be uniformly distributed along the streets.
		Although John Snow is most famous for his analysis of the Broad Street outbreak, this analysis merely confirmed a theory he had been developing over the preceding years.

		Snow said the Clinton surplus was inflated by a stock-price bubble and that Bush will be remembered for cutting the gap from a record $412 billion in the 2004 fiscal year.
		Snow and others have taken the position that we’ve never come out of a recession before that the only reason we have this tepid recovery is tax cuts.
		Snow claims that Clinton’s budget surplus was a “mirage.” McKelvey says that even if you adjust the deficit number to take into account the exceptionally large amount of caplital gains tax payments in 2000, Clinton would have still had a budget surplus of $147 billion that year.

	AlterNet: There's No Business Like Snow Business
		Snow was also the lucky winner of a $24.5 million sweetheart loan from CSX -- precisely the kind of insider loan made illegal by the corporate responsibility bill signed into law by the president last summer.
		Indeed, at the same time Snow was stitching together his golden parachute, he was cutting the health care benefits of newly hired employees and, according to a lawsuit, revoking life insurance benefits for some CSX retirees.
		And Snow's "sacrifice" will be cushioned by a clause that he presciently had placed in his most recent contract making him eligible to receive an additional $3.3 million should he ever leave CSX to "fulfill an appointment to public office." And here I thought companies gave execs big bonuses to keep them from leaving.

	Michigan State University Newsroom - One-hundred-fifty year old lessons of John Snow still relevant today
		What Snow correctly suspected was that the water coming from that pump was carrying particles — or what he called “special animal poisons” — that caused the disease, an idea scoffed at by most of the medical community of that time, most of which believed that diseases were spread primarily through the air.
		It was that type of thinking that has made Snow one of the most revered figures in the history of medicine, and what prompted five Michigan State University professors — who call themselves the “snowflakes” — to spend six years writing a comprehensive biography on the life and times of John Snow.
		It was also reported that Snow had taken a map of the cholera-infected area, marked the houses in which cholera deaths had occurred, and in that way figured out that the water from the Broad Street pump was the culprit.
