Scientists Worry Machines May Outsmart Man
downwardspiral replied to dreamdancer's topic in Speakers Corner
Well … not sure if there was evidence of motive or intent on the robot’s part ... maybe the robot didn't *want* to be fixed - it thought it was fine just the way it was, but “A Swedish company has been fined 25,000 kronor ($3,000) after a malfunctioning robot attacked and almost killed one of its workers at a factory north of Stockholm.” “Thinking he had cut off the power supply, the man approached the robot with no sense of trepidation. “But the robot suddenly came to life and grabbed a tight hold of the victim's head. The man succeeded in defending himself but not before suffering serious injuries. “‘The man was very lucky. He broke four ribs and came close to losing his life,’ said Leif Johansson [the Public prosecutor in the case].” /Marg I read that when it happened and couldn't stop laughing for a few minutes while trying to picture the event unfold. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
This particular hypothesis cost millions of dollars and is supposed to determine the cause of the only 3 steel framed strucutures in history to fall due to fire, symmetrically and completely into thier own footprint through the path of most resistance. This is an astounding result, there are thousands of people worldwide including scientists and engineering professionals that refute the report. You still going on about this even though you know without a doubt the towers collapsed at the impact zones? www.FourWheelerHB.com

Not Everything in America has to be for profit
downwardspiral replied to Darius11's topic in Speakers Corner
Sorry dude I do not share your cynical attitude. For profit militaries? Ya might want to research what occured in the 90's in Sierra Leone and the atrocities the Revolutionary United Front commited and how Executive Outcomes put a stop to it. Then ask yourself why it was that a private military company was required to put an end to such atrocities in Sierra Leone when NATO was doing the exact same thing in Bosnia. Edited to add: Then consider how much it would have cost for America to do the same job versus 200 Executive Outcome employees. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
Not Everything in America has to be for profit

By Mark Mulligan, MD Since the mid-1990s, thousands of patients with HIV/AIDS have been successfully treated with combinations of drugs known as “highly active antiretroviral therapy.” In many cases, these drugs have turned a disease that used to be a sure death sentence into a treatable, chronic condition. Unfortunately, in spite of widespread efforts to prevent HIV, 33 million people around the world are infected, and in the U.S. alone the CDC estimates that about 56,000 persons are newly infected with HIV each year. Since therapy does not cure HIV, every new infection means a person must be treated for life with costly medications. For this reason, the world desperately needs an HIV vaccine. Historically, vaccines have been our most effective weapons against infectious diseases. Unfortunately, over the past five years, two large clinical trials of HIV vaccines have failed to demonstrate efficacy of the candidate being tested, leaving many to wonder if we should simply give up on an HIV vaccine altogether. AIDS is too widespread and too devastating a disease to abandon the quest for a vaccine. Scientists have learned many important lessons from past vaccine trials, and there is no reason to give up now. We should remember that our most important vaccines took decades to develop. The virus that causes polio was discovered in the 1930s. The first vaccines tested in the 1930s were ineffective. In the 1940s and early 1950s, summertime polio epidemics caused fear and panic in many countries. Fortunately, this vaccine research continued despite initial failures. Progress was based on small but steady scientific advances such as the discovery in 1949 of how to grow the polio virus in the lab. Six years later, Jonas Salk’s inactivated, injected polio vaccine became available. By 1957 the number of new polio cases annually had fallen by 90 percent and the iron lung became a museum relic. Scientists at the Emory Vaccine Center and the Yerkes National Primate Research Center have been working on an HIV/AIDS vaccine for a decade. Based on DNA and viral vector technology, the vaccine is licensed to the Atlanta biotechnology company GeoVax to bring it to the marketplace. The vaccine has made it through several early stages of clinical trials and is now being tested in a Phase II clinical trial to understand its effectiveness through the National Institutes of Health-funded HIV Vaccine Trials Network (HVTN). In Atlanta, Emory Vaccine Center’s Hope Clinic is the HVTN clinical site. There are other HIV vaccines also being tested. Another Phase II is undergoing a clinical trial through the HVTN network to test a different HIV vaccine, this one developed at the National Institutes of Health. As a doctor working with individuals who have HIV or AIDS, I know the toll this disease takes on them and their loved ones. I am very hopeful that an effective HIV vaccine will be developed, and I am proud to be on the front lines of that effort. Both of the new HIV vaccine clinical trials are aimed at healthy adults at low risk for acquiring HIV. Before we can have a vaccine that protects everyone around the globe, we need volunteers locally who are willing to step forward to participate in clinical trials and help reach this goal. http://blogs.ajc.com/better-health/2009/05/27/doctor-is-in-when-will-we-get-aids-vaccine/ www.FourWheelerHB.com -

No money in cures? Here's a couple companies that might disagree with you. http://www.sanofipasteur.com/sanofi-pasteur2/front/index.jsp?siteCode=SP_CORP&codeRubrique=2 http://www.cslbiotherapies-us.com/s1/cs/becs/1236380113601/content/1236380113568/content.htm Both companies are currently in the testing phase for their H1N1 vaccines. www.FourWheelerHB.com -
