In addition to AAB-001, which is currently in phase II trials, they also have AAB-002 and AAC-001. AAB-001, and AAB-002 are passive immunization agents using mono-clonal antibodies, and AAC-001 is an active immunization agent using an Immunoconjugate. Rumors are that AAB-001 is extremely efficacious. If this is true, it could conceivably be approved after phase II testing on an accelerated basis.
On another front, their drug, Tysabri, has just been re-approved for treatment of Multiple-Sclerosis.
It is truly amazing to see the advances that are being made in the area of the human immune system and treatment of disease.
Far more earth shaking inventions have come from Northern New Jersey. I'm still waiting for Silicon Valley to catch up. eg. Light Bulb, Transistor, Golf Tee.
said by a company that is involved with national security? They don't even need to tell the truth to the SEC, let alone mear mortal human beings:
The memo Bush signed on May 5, which was published seven days later in the Federal Register, had the unrevealing title "Assignment of Function Relating to Granting of Authority for Issuance of Certain Directives: Memorandum for the Director of National Intelligence." In the document, Bush addressed Negroponte, saying: "I hereby assign to you the function of the President under section 13(b)(3)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended."
A trip to the statute books showed that the amended version of the 1934 act states that "with respect to matters concerning the national security of the United States," the President or the head of an Executive Branch agency may exempt companies from certain critical legal obligations. These obligations include keeping accurate "books, records, and accounts" and maintaining "a system of internal accounting controls sufficient" to ensure the propriety of financial transactions and the preparation of financial statements in compliance with "generally accepted accounting principles."
This has nothing to do with protecting children. The Big ISP's want to sell us out. To date, it has not been practical to bill for use due to the overhead and added expense involved. If all that infrastructure and overhead are already in place, in the name of protecting children, it would be trivial to start billing for usage and type of usage. The government gets what it wants, the Big ISP's make out like bandits, and, as usual, the average citizen gets it up the tail end.
The real issue is not child pornography, the issue is anything to get access to your personal records. They are persistent. Every excuse they find, they use towards this goal. I, for one, am not falling for it. Be afraid, very afraid. The concept of personal freedom will soon be a ghost of what it once was unless we wake up NOW!
on driving tests to keep the completely brain-dead off the road will be eliminated. I hope examiners will demand that this feature be turned off for testing.
For clearly demonstrating they are part of the whole community. If other organizations would take the same attitude, we would all be much better for it.
Vioxx. After that disaster, they're still trying to figure out which end is up. As is typical for a government agency, they have swung from one extreme to the other.
Change your name to Linus Torvalds. 9,530,000 hits in English alone. That should grind HR to a halt for a while. Damn, I'm jealous, I only have 22,700.
Having all the source code, and being able to trust it, is only one facet of what is needed. Unless you can trust the entire tool chain, all the code embodied in silicon, etc., you can not fully trust the system. This brings up an interesting issue. Systems are geting so complex, there is simply not enough time to audit them to build real trust.
Depeleted Uranium was used as shielding, but I believe the practice has stopped. It was found that under exposure to radiation, DU would decompose into a fine dust that would contaminate the area being shielded.
Microsoft has decided that they will now blow. They carefully avoided this after the release of ME, but now feel confident that this is the way to the future.

The SC06 conference is not until November. This was from the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC2006) in Dresden, Germany.
"Why is a change in management required?"
The management contracts are up for renewal.
Fermilab is doing great, at the momement, but nothing is scheduled past 2010.
Both Argonne and Fermilab may soon be going under a similar change in management.
The dog ate it!

I bought Philip Glass's "Einstein on the Beach" instead.

Best Mad scientist ever, and the funniest, too!
Free as in Heroin. The first one is free, the rest are going to cost you.

You're being generous, I always heard it as "The bleeding sphincter of quality."
Lucatania, a perfect target for the Germans.
This may be one of the last discoveries at Fermilab. As it stands now, Fermilab, SLAC, and Brookhaven's future is in severe doubt.

I think China is already leading on that front. The same with those pesky copyrights, too.

I don't see any vendors in the Yellow Pages. How much can I expect that to set me back?

We could bring back pathalias, and do it for email again, too.
