And that cessation had a very chilling effect on research. Not to mention an FDA hostile to the idea of human trials. There is a human trial ongoing now that received approval in 2009 when it was submitted in 2007. It wasn't until the change in Executive that the ball started rolling on this trial 9i have been closely following this since 2005).
In fact, whole new retinas are being created from ESCs, something impossible with ASCs. This isn't pie-in-the-sky. Regenerative medicine is real. i am very literally betting my life on it and I wish the ignorant and morally-hollow would get out of my way.
Adult stem cells have been studied for 40 years. Embryonic stem cells have been studied for 12. Adult stem cell therapies are limited to blood disorders (mostly bone marrow transplants).
New ASC therapies are in trials using manipulation techniques learned from ESC research, but simply nothing can match the pluripotency of ESCs. Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells (ipSCs) are fine for research but due to the induction methods and production efficiency issues are wholly unsuitable for therapies.
The "market for dead babies" line is just so much inflammatory ignorant bullshit. The lines are generated from surplus material which would otherwise be discarded.
Do you routinely kill flies with a shotgun? Mid-priced consumer grade equipment is _more_ than adequate given the network is properly wired/configured.
It's the ERICA system from Eye Response Technologies (now Dynavox). It is a complete environment but I unlocked it to gain full control of my computer> it is a lot more than a virtual keyboard.
I have no control until my attendant launches the application and calibrates it.
Fortunately I didn't get bitten by this. I would be devastated. Here's why:
I am quadriplegic with a tracheostomy to breathe. That means no keyboard or mouse and no auditory input. I control my computer with eye movement (the only muscles I still fully control) tracked via infrared camera. Almost every system built to assist communication for people like me are built on top of WinXP. There is a Mac version I have heard of but AFAIK doesn't do full control like the one I use. There is no Linux availability at all (oh how I wish).
So I am stuck. This system is my voice and my window to the world (travel is a major production requiring a team of assistants). it controls my immediate environment (tv, lights, etc.). It represents the last bit of independence I possess. It is a Tablet so "pop in the CD isn't so easy.
I am very careful to avoid viruses and other malware (always was when i was healthy and Win32 was only a secondary OS for me then). But to be stabbed in the back would be utterly devastating to me. It could be weeks before I could get qualified help (Nerd Herd, etc. need not apply).
Not to brag but I have a server lost in a co-lo since 2001. It's still up and useful to me, the co-lo doesn't know (nobody is paying for it), and hasn't gone down since.
I think the parent was talking about 15 minutes at a "gas station". Slower feeds would indeed remain appropriate for homes.
A more distributed system would be better and easily adapted in the current infrastructure. Imagine each parking spot in a mall with a plug where you are charged for the energy received while you shop (like Red Box for electricity instead of dvds). Similar for places of employment (cost could be factored into salaries). A high-watt short time facility would only be necessary for long trips not accessible via public transportation (gratuitous admonition; my apologies).
Not to rub it in but I want to give a shout to my provider (Cruzio) who also use Spamassassin and were apparently on top of this (as they usualLY are0. i haven't noticed anything wrong with my email today.
Thanks Cruzio!

Yes, you are flat out wrong.
Where is THAT video?
I used to work with Marty Cooper and that guy is all about buzz.
There is no way he would hurt bees.

Animation released by ESA. Very impressive!

I would totally wear Lindsey Vonn in public.
AIUI, the Chinese openly admit to interfering with their citizens' Internet access.

Or I could be a longtime Linux user struck down by ALS.
But you're probably right...
Not my life but certainly my sanity. Medicare will only pay for one, the IR camera is a specialty item, and the required software is around $5k.

Its a Debian Potato machine if memory serves.
Wasn't kdawson part of NASA's Mars team a while back?
My revenge was earning more than my tormentors at a career I love which provided me a lifestyle more satisfying than I had imagined.
at a reunion a few years ago almost every one of them was overweight, bitching about their jobs. Many were suffering divorce or on the verge of it.
It was like the movie Grosse Point Blank without the body count.

I got a white background with numbers in time() format and human format counting down to zero (midnight PST). What's your problem?
I was pretty stoked when Zork got ported to the web...
