From a United Stataes Animal Health Association's 1998 Report:
Beyond the traditional four biosafety levels, U.S. Agriculture has an additional level, biosafety level 5 (BL5), designed for agents that by law are not allowed on the U.S. mainland. Both foot-and-mouth disease virus and rinderpest virus require that BL3-Ag facilities in which they are studied be separated from the mainland. There is only one facility in the U.S. that meets BL5 criteria -- the Plum Island Animal Disease Center.
That's probably an accurate statement about Conservativism. They believe government exists to keep the peace and enforce the law, little more. But the space program is tied very closely to the military, and less directly, to law enforcement. So that part of things doesn't add-up.
Every time they look up into the heavens, they show that the world wasn't created 6000 years ago. We can't have any government program that disagrees with what the bible says, now can we?
We help build communities from the ground up by promoting sustainable urban land and horticultural practices to grow food and reduce hunger. We carry out our mission by working with volunteers and community groups building community gardens and orchards.
Not EVERY time. My cousin was exiting from a highway, and was shocked to see a semi coming up the ramp backwards. She came to a completely stop (being on the ramp meant there was no place for her to pull to the side), tried to back up and the truck still hit her. It pushed her about 500 feet before the driver finally realized what had just happened.
Needless to say, the driver, and not her, was charged with wreckless driving. She also got a shiny new car from the owners of the trucking company so she wouldn't sue them.
Take the lap cover, make it transparant, put the solar panel there. You could probably get a 100 square inch panel in a standard laptop. You would get a little of the illuminated power back from the screen as it bounces off you and bounces off the wall in front of you.
No, you can't power the laptop indefinately, but you may get an increase in battery life, especially in sunlight or in a bright room. And it could be used to recharge while not on.
There are of course other problems, but it's a start.
Nothing better shows my taste Than what I wear below my waist
Pants... Pants... Sing the praises of Pants...
They help me suck in my gut They always cover up my butt
Pants... Pants... Sing the praises of Pants...
Wear them and you're a cool guy As long as you zip up your fly
Pants... Pants... Sing the praises of Pants...
That's right, ladies and gentlemen. Consider the pant. You know, the Pant Association urges you to wear your pants at least three times a day. The great men of our time have all worn pants. Roosevelt, Churchill, de Gaulle, Ghandi... well, almost all of them.
Dolphins. One of the smartest mammals on Earth. Do they wear pants? No, but they wish they did. That's how smart they are!
The implication, which I haven't seen any discussion of then or since, is that records are kept of every letter's travels through every post office. Anyone know anything about that?
Having worked at a post office clerk in a former life, I would say you must be kidding. I personally handled 25,000 letters a day, and I wasn't in automation, which does 50,000 letters per station per hour. You just don't have time to record any sort of information about first class mail.
What they probably meant is that they would check on letters with return addresses or was sent registered or certified. Registered, Certified and Insured mail DID get that sort of record keeping, for obvious reasons.
I have wondered about stem cell injection working for learning as well. I mean, that nail-gun kid had his heart fixed by some stem cells being put into the heart, how about some stem cells into "dead" areas of the brain?
The reason it worked is that the doctors harvested muscular stem cells and implanted them in the heart, which is basically one big muscle. To do that with a brain, you will need to use neural stem cells. Interestingly, the most common place to get neural stem cells is from the hippocampal region.
Of course, implanting neural stem cells into a brain may have some unintended side effects. Who knows what changes in thought patterns might occur with completely fresh neurons in a brain?

Warning: The paper contains some very seriously heavy math. It uses things like the Euler Gamma function, Lorentz factors and stuff like that. You have been warned.
Let's say I budget $50 for buying CD's. I go and download music, checking out different bands, different music that I may not have listened to before. Now what?
I still have my $50, budgeted to purchasing CD's.
So I go out and purchase bands that I really liked, or buy similar music styles that I haven't heard before the download. Perhaps I couldn't get a good quality download. Perhaps actually owning the physical medium that I can do with what I want is more important than having it as a bunch of bits on my computer.
Here is a secret: The more music you listen to, the more you listen to music. You enjoy having music play in the background. You listen to music in the car. If you don't have music playing, something is missing. If you make music easy to listen to, then you make a music fan. And what do music fans do? Why, they use their disposable income to buy music.
(Okay, they use it to purchase better sound systems, use it to purchase tickets to shows, etc. I don't think Sony minds too much that you use your money to purchase its stereo system instead.)
If a person or group of people wanted to set up their own broadband wiring throughout a small town, what would be necessary?
I'm not talking about the physical components (the wiring, the routers, etc). Are there any legal requirements that have to be met? Do you need to get eminent domain to run over (or under) roads, or simply get permission from the land owners? Is there any way we can bypass the bells entirely?
Every 100 cubic centimeters of bone marrow yields up to 10,000 stem cells, Fodor told Reuters Health. But the same amount of fat contains a million stem cells.
So does this mean the fatter I get, the more stem cells I'll have to repair my body later in life? Quick, somebody hand me that tub of Ben & Jerry's!
What about video taping babysitters to make sure they don't molest your children? Making it illegal for someone to video tape you in YOUR house who is NOT the owner, ok. Saying the owner can't do what he wants in his own house? I don't think so.
Simple. Place a small sign next to the front door stating "The interior of this house is being videotaped and recorded. By entering this house, you agree that being recorded while on these premises is acceptable to you."
Since four of the six spectra were located on the pathfinder itself, the area around the site could have been contaminated by the little rover running around. It wouldn't take that much contamination to get a false reading.
I used to work at a shopping mall where you couldn't take pictures. If you had a camera visible, security would bar entrance to you. If you whipped one out later and started snapping shots, the security people would toss you out. Very weird.
Was it doing economically poorly? There is a mall near where we live that refuses to allow cameras on the premises because mall management doesn't want proof of how badly their space was being utilized. (Somewhere around 50% of the storefronts were vacant.)
What was sad was that they kept raising the rates to try to make up the loss of revenue, and they kept losing stores because of it.
Okay, you've convinced me. From now on, schools should teach creationism and evolution at the same time. Included in the classwork:
The creation of the earth by Odumare (Yoruba cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Atum (Egyptian Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Izanagi and Izanami (Japanese Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Nzame (Bantu Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Phan Ku (Chinese Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by the Annunaki (Assyrian Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Ulgen Tenger (Mongol Cosmology).
The creation of the earth by Papa and Rangi (Maori Cosmology).
And so on, and so on...
I figure it would only take a few months to cover each creationist expanation. Of course, the students could be learning Biology during that time, but that wouldn't be as useful, would it?
10 billion doesnt seem so much when you think of $379bn on "defence".
Especially since it is now actually closer to $4.5 billion that would be spread over three years. I just hope that the US won't make any unreasonable demands to get back into the game, like demanding that it be built in the US instead of Japan or Canada like the plans is now.
If only those old Scrooge McDuck stories about moons made of gold were true:)
The sad part is that even if there was a moon out there made of solid gold, currently it still would be too expensive to go up and mine it. Space launches are EXPENSIVE.

This isn't the terrorist-frigtened congress of 2001, you aren't going to be able to slip this under people's noses this time like with the DMCA.
Um, the DMCA was passed into law on Oct 28, 1998. It had nothing to do with the terror attacks, and the frightening thereof.

I thought those could only be made on Arisia? Guess we have reached the third stage of stabilization, and civilization will cover the entire galaxy.

If these people dislike logging so much why don't they simply wait until the fire season and start playing with matches.
You don't know how hard I had to resist moderating that as flamebait.
