``There is no explanation whatsoever where the money needed to implement the declared program would come from,'' Koptev said.
And where are the Russians getting the money, anyway? Last I checked, Russian government-funded things are ill-funded and poorly thrown together which would either indicate lack of funds, mismanagement, or both. I vote both.
At the same time, he reaffirmed his skepticism about Bush's space plan, saying that the U.S. administration would have trouble raising resources for the planned missions.
Really, when has this ever stopped us before?
I wonder what the equivalent of global bankruptcy would be...
Perhaps if people could be caused to simulate having a single chromosome for sickle cell anemia...
Ok, so what I learned once-upon-a-time in Bio or anthro or such:
Sickle cell anemia is a condition that allows for mixed dominance. I.e. say you have the chromosome pair where sickle cell could be coded for, and call n a normal chromosome and s a sickle cell-coding chromosome. If you have nn, you're "normal", "ss" you have sickle cell anemia, and "ns", you have a mix of both cells (so it is not a purely dominant trait, and is not recessive either, thus mixed dominance. Not sure if that's the technical term).
This is a condition which is advantageous in areas with a high rate of malarial infections. Why? Well, people with normal cells ("nn") recover very slowly from malaria because the malarial cells infect the normal-cells, burst and spread and then move on, too fast for the immune-system to respond. The ("ns") people on the other hand, have a portion of non-normal cells that burst faster (due to the irregular shape/size) and thus alert the immune system sooner to the infection. This causes a higher survival rate for malaria. Unfortunately, this maintains a certain portion of the population who are totally anemic, having difficulties transporting and absorbing minerals,nutrients, etc.
So if there were any way to simulate this advantage of mixed cells in an injection, it would at least ease the effects of the disease.
so lust is like a radioactive element that decomposes into love?
weird.

So as the number of divorces you've had approaches zero, you lust goes to infinity...
hmm.
You could do a Laplace smoothing.

Ah an emissary from the dark side of the force!
You know, my stats prof said that stats isn't really math. My cs prof looked at me funny and went on to prove that it was. Gave me a headache for a few hours. You try to visualize 64k dimensional space.

Conservative and scientist usually don't go together IMHO, so you needn't worry about that!
here at my univ we have a Biochem department populated with creationists. I know several engineering students who are extreme fundamentalists (the bible says jump then I must jump! Right now! Again and again!).

Heck, we still try to see what'll explode in the microwaves at the caf...all in the name of scientific experiments, ya know, but still...
