Researchers have solved the first step in treating the common cold, by mapping its entire genome, or genetic map, teams from the University of Maryland and the University of Wisconsin-Madison reported Thursday."We have the pieces all in place. They can't go in any other way. Now we have to understand what the pictures are telling us," said Dr. Stephen B. Liggett, professor of medicine and physiology at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of its Cardiopulmonary Genomics Program. The research was published in the online edition of the journal Science on Thursday afternoon. Technically known as the human rhinovirus infection, the common cold is responsible for half of all asthma attacks and is a factor in bronchitis, sinusitis, middle-ear infections and pneumonia. The coughs, sneezes and sniffles of colds impose a major health care burden in the United States -- including visits to health care providers, cost of over-the-counter drugs for symptom relie...

That is the logo for " vsa partners " who designed the Obama campaign logo. It certainly is representative of the Masonic Compass "as above so below". The "S" acts as an interwoven serpent. The funny thing is, the designers' name is Sol Sender. Literally, he is the sender of the SUN/LIGHT. Sol Sender, who led the creative development of the Obama ’08 campaign logo, has joined VSA Partners as a strategist. As principal of the design agency Sender LLC, Sender developed the design strategy and directed a team of designers that created the defining symbol of the 2008 campaign. The Obama ’08 assignment began in late 2006, when Sender’s firm was hired by MODE, a Chicago-based motion design studio with an existing relationship with David Axelrod, the Obama campaign’s chief strategist. Given two weeks to develop design options, Sender and two designers—Andy Keene and Amanda Gentry—produced multiple logos for consideration by the campaign, including a versio...

Perfect lunar timing, for the full moon (feb 9th). From certain angles it looks like a fiery monolith. The China Central Television headquarters is a 6.45 million square foot complex that involves twin leaning towers connected by two massive sections in midair. It's an amazing feat of engineering, but everyone in Beijing is now worried that it might collapse if the building directly next to it, right now said to be the incompleted Mandarin Oriental hotel, isn't put out quickly (It's been on fire for a good three hours now). Right now it's the Lantern Festival, the 15th day of the first month of the new year on the Chinese calendar, and quite inauspiciously, one of the most important landmarks of new Communist China and the message it's trying to portray – is this close to getting obliterated.

How It Works First of all, it helps that our CFO is an ex-investment banker and we have a couple of ex-day trader cellar rats. So we thought we’d just use the same types of derivative financial products that got us all into this mess in the first place. Here's how it works: You buy bottles of the "2007 Bailout Napa Valley Cabernet" on this website for $39/bottle. Comparable wines go for $75 and up, so you've already won in a sense. We record the closing value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average the day you buy the bottles. Then for every 100 points the Dow drops from your starting point, you get $2 off each bottle. We will bottle the wine on August 14, 2009 and use the Dow closing level to determine your final price. For example, if you buy the wine when the Dow is 8,800 and then it closes at 7,300 when we bottle, then your final price is $9/bottle and we'll cut you an economic stimulus check of $30/bottle in September. If we're lucky enough to find th...

Original here Grandmother Debbie gives Connah ultrasound: It is claimed the treatment kills cancer cells After he developed an aggressive form of childhood cancer in 2006, Connah Broom's body came under relentless attack from the disease. Eleven tumours spread from his neck to his knees and his case appeared hopeless. In 2007, doctors told his family there was nothing more they could do. They said they should take him home to enjoy his final months. But Connah's family refused to give up hope. His grandparents began treating him with alternative therapies and, remarkably, he survived. Latest scans on Connah, now aged seven, show that ten of his 11 tumours are shrinking, have no blood flow and may be dead. The family are preparing for new scans which they hope will reveal the last tumour is also in retreat. His grandparents are convinced their treatments, including a strict organic diet and a daily sauna, are helping him beat his disease. But cancer experts are more sceptical, ...

"Dr. Trent Pierce was well-liked and a pillar of the West Memphis , Arkansas, community, sources say" The chairman of the Arkansas Medical Board was critically injured Wednesday when a bomb placed on the front end of his Lexus hybrid SUV exploded at his West Memphis, Arc-kansas, home -- a blast heard a mile away, police said. Dr. Trent Pierce, a family practitioner, was flown to a hospital across the Mississippi River in Memphis, Tennessee, after the 8 a.m. blast, police Chief Robert Paudert said, adding that Pierce may be transferred to a burn center in Ohio. Officials said he was in critical condition. "It's a terrorist attack on Dr. Pierce," Paudert said. "We just don't know why someone would do this... We're going to find out." He added that Pierce is his physician and is well known and loved in the community, "a gentle and kind person." Local and federal officials urged anyone with information to contact law enforcement ag...
