Bad Man Coming. The sheriff of Idaho Falls is registered at the Star Valley Hotel this morning. He is here to try and head off a bandit who is coming this way from Idaho. Brigham Gardner, our own deputy sheriff, has also been notified and is out on the same business. Hugh Whitney, the bandit, in company with another man, robbed a saloon at Monida, Idaho, and they boarded a train. At Spencer, Sheriff Milton boarded the train and arrested them and took them into the smoking compartment, and relieved them of their guns, which he laid on the seat. He then proceeded to hand cuff them when Whitney reached around him and grabbed a gun and shot him in the abdomen. The conductor then grappled with him, and Whitney shot him in the left breast. The bandits then pulled the bell cord and stopped the train, and held the passengers at bay while they left the train and disappeared. They separated, and Whitney started east apparently headed for Jackson Hole.
Millions in sight. The pleasant news that the Allred family are heirs to a fortune which runs into the billions of dollars, is the story that is current now, and there are bright prospects that they will soon come into their own. According to the story, the property is the estate of Lord Calvert, who in Colonial days was given a land grant by the King of England, and they city of Baltimore has been built on the land. When the revolutionary war came on, all his heirs cast lot with the American Army, which so incensed him, he being an ardent Britisher, that he leased the vast estates of which he was possessed to the state for ninety-nine years in order that it be kept from them. The leased expired several years ago and an attempt was made at that time to divert the property to its rightful owners, but because of the adverse action of the Bank of England, where a great deal of wealth is held, nothing was accomplished. Now another attempt is being made. . . . The property is said to amount to about four billions of dollars, and the known heirs, a number about 2200, Each heir would received about two million. Here in Star Valley, N. C. Allred, Seymour Allred and M. A. Allred, are heirs who are entitled to receive the $2,000,000 each, and we hope they get it.

Volunteer nursing and your license

by Cathy4836 Feb 25I recently heard that nurses will no longer be able to work as a volunteer nurse only and continue to keep their license. If you do not have a paid job in nursing, you will lose your license.

- Feb 26 by MBARNBSNState BONs can do whatever they want. However, this sounds odd to me. Why would a State BON come up with this rule, when most (if not all) have the option for a Nurse to be inactive as oppose to active and still have to pay a fee for the privilege? OP, check with your State's BON rather than get scared over rumors. Good luck.MandaRN94 likes this.

Sent from my iPhone using allnurses.com - Apr 19 by whitsinnI live in GA and am considering returning to school for an ADN. I called the GA BON to clarify this issue because I want to know what I'm getting into. I also WANT to volunteer as opposed to work. BON said that new graduates do not have to have work experience (obviously, since they need to be licensed first). If licenses are maintained, then no work record is required. However, if it expires by even one day, the applicant has to present proof of employment of at least 3 months or 500 days covering the previous 4 years. In short, as long as the license never expires you can maintain it while only volunteering. Don't ever let expire!

Thank you for clarifying this. I will definitely keep up my Georgia license!

Theater Review: 'How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying'
Date: November 14, 2012
by: Paula Atwell | Theater Critic
A Broadway smash, and a Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winner in the early 1960s, this zany, irreverent musical has enjoyed several recent revivals. It's a perfect choice for community theater, able to draw from a host of happy volunteers to fill its huge cast requirements, and it's a lot of fun to see so many people dressed in '50s and '60s crinoline or tube skirts, cavorting about an ample stage in unison. Brad Wages' direction has produced an enjoyable and contagiously cheerful performance. He's also created choreography that responds to the needs of his enthusiastic performers, and provides visually witty and satisfying entertainment for the audience.
Click here to view more photos from the production.
Based on the novel by Shepherd Mead, the play was written by Abe Burrows, Jack Weinstock, and Willie Gilbert, with music and lyrics by Frank Loesser. The story is a satire of corporations, represented by the 'World Wide Wicket Company,' and of cynical office politics.
Young window washer, J. Pierrepont Finch, follows every step in the self-help guide, "How to Succeed In Business," to work his way up the corporate ladder of success. Jason Ellis is perfectly suited for the role, most notably played by Robert Morse in the '60s and Matthew Broderick in the '90s, and he plays it with a boyish charm and naively self-centered cunning that renders him oddly lovable.
'Ponty' immediately impresses secretary Rosemary Pilkington, played with devoted sweetness by Sarah Cassidy, who expresses her longing to wear the 'wifely uniform' in the song, "Happy to Keep his Dinner Warm," a title which says it all.
Finch goes about impressing his boss, J.B. Biggley, amply and jovially played by Timothy J. Fitzgerald, and undermining the boss' lazy nephew, Bud Frump, petulantly represented by William Murphy. Biggley's sexy mistress, Hedy La Rue, object of lust for the entire grey-flannel suited members of the corp, is delightfully delivered by sashaying Danae DeShazer. Laurie Colton plays Smitty, earnest, cat-eyed glasses-sporting secretary, who brings a fine voice to the musical numbers, including "Coffee Break," and "Been a Long Day." "A Secretary is Not a Toy," was a real hoot, featuring David P. Brown. The show's most memorable song, "I Believe in You," is beautifully sung by Cassidy and Finch.
Also notable are the roles of Gatch by Phil DeNiro, Miss Jones by Kim Kollar, Mr. Twimble/Wally Womper by Neil Kasanofsky, Miss Krumholtz by Alana Opie, and Mr. Ovington by Scott Mersinger. Additional performers include Kenzie Balliet, Charlotte Crowley, Cammy Harris, Alex Mahadevan and Debbi White. Music direction by Michelle Kasanofsky, Sound design by Dorian Boyd, costume design by Nicholas Hartman, scenic design by Donna Buckalter and lighting design by David Castaneda.

Issued April 6, 2010, the United States Patent 7,691,995, entitled, "In Vivo Production of Small Interfering RNAs That Mediate Gene Silencing," is based on research performed at UMMS by co-inventors Phillip D. Zamore, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator and the Gretchen Stone Cook Professor of Biomedical Sciences; Craig C. Mello, PhD, Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, the Blais University Chair in Molecular Medicine and 2006 Nobel Laureate; Juanita McLachlan and Gyorgy Hutvagner, members of the Zamore laboratory; and Alla Grishok from the Mello laboratory. The patent claims cover a powerful technique drawing on a fundamental mechanism in basic biology: using naturally occurring, endogenous microRNA (miRNA) precursors as templates for designing siRNAs to selectively modulate expression of a target gene. This method has found broad application as a tool for gene discovery and analysis in basic research and drug discovery, where such constructs are often called shRNAs or miRNA-based shRNAs.
A combination of two fully human monoclonal antibodies developed by MassBiologics (MBL) of UMMS and Medarex, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bristol-Myers Squibb Co. (NYSE:BMY), when given with standard antibiotics, was shown to reduce recurrence of a debilitating form of diarrhea by 72 percent in patients enrolled in a Phase 2 clinical trial. The results are reported in the article "Treatment with Monoclonal Antibodies against Clostridium difficile Toxins" published January 21, 2010 in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM). Donna Ambrosino, MD, executive director of MassBiologics, professor of pediatrics at UMMS is the senior author of the paper. Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) is a common bacterium that can colonize the human gastrointestinal tract and produce large amounts of two toxins that can cause severe diarrhea and damage the lining of the large intestine. The incidence of CDI in the US is rapidly increasing, with rates doubling from 2000 to 2005.
In June 2009, Dr. Shalesh Kaushal and his team of UMass investigators initiated a phase 1/2 clinical trial to assess safety of a recombinant adeno-associated virus (AAV) expressing the normal RPE65 gene in patients with Leber Congenital Amaurosis.
Dr. Michael Green, Professor of Gene Function and Expression, Investigator, Howard Hughes Medical Institute is Director of the RNAi Reagent Core Facility. Dr. Green performed a genome-wide RNAi screen to identify genes required for oncogene BRAF-mediated senescence/apoptosis. He identified 17 different genes, including IGFBP7, an insulin-like growth factor binding protein. This secreted protein is turned off in malignant melanomas with a mutation in the BRAF oncogene. Treatment of these malignant melanomas with IGFBP7 in vitro and in vivo results in apoptosis of the tumor cells
Members of the UMCCTS Translational Navigator Program Committee reviewed the experimental results and agreed that IGFBP7 should move forward in the preclinical pathway toward first in human studies. Drs. Sullivan and Flotte are currently working with Dr. Green to identify funding necessary for GMP production of IGFBP7and pharmacokinetic and toxicology preclinical studies. Chris Perkin and his colleagues at CRL are designing the protocol for the preclinical studies.
Drs. Michael Czech and Gary Ostroff in the Program in Molecular Medicine have been able to encapsulate siRNAs in particles composed of yeast cell wall glucan. Their experiments have demonstrated that these particles can be orally delivered to mice and protect mice from lethal challenge with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by siRNA silencing of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα) the mediator of LPS induced lethal shock.
Consultation with the UMCCTS Co-Pilot Program led to the collaboration between the Czech/Ostroff laboratories and Dr. Ellen Gravallese who studies immunologic mechanisms in arthritis models. These investigators successfully applied to the UMCCTS Pilot Project Program and received funding to study the oral delivery of siRNA directed at silencing the TNFα gene in the mouse model of arthritis.
Dr. Robert Brown, Professor and Chair, Department of Neurology is one of the world's authorities on ALS. Dr. Brown's laboratory identified one of the genes associated with ALS, cytosolic superoxide dismutase, or SOD1. Current views suggest that the mutation of SOD1 causes misfolding of the SOD1 protein and resulting toxicity to the neuron.
Recent studies by Dr. Zuoshang Xu, Professor of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology have demonstrated that RNAi molecules can silence mutant SOD1 in vivo and increase survival time in the mouse model of ALS. Drs. Brown and Xu have collaborated in the design of RNAi molecules for a trial in humans with mutant SOD1 associated ALS. First in human studies of RNAi in ALS are currently underway at UMass.
In 2005, Dr. Dario Altieri, Professor and Chair, Department of Cancer Biology engineered a compound called Sheperdin which blocks the interaction of the protein survivin (discovered in 1997 by Altieri) with heat shock protein 90 and results in the destruction of tumor cells and inhibition of tumor growth in murine models of human cancer. Dr. Altieri was awarded an NCI RAID grant in 2005 for clinical development of Shepherdin.

oh okay...and here i was hoping you had some inside dope that sees the xbr8 selling price coming down to a more realistic level.
the msrp markup is not necessily excessive when compared to the other sony models in the line. the fixed selling price obviously is excessive for the xbr8's.
for example, the v4100 thru xbr6 models currently are being sold at 25% to 38% off the original msrp. and recently some models/sizes have seen price reductions near 45% off original msrp.
in addition, the effective msrp has been lowered recently by sony on many models and sizes by some 6% - 15%.
i guess in the end we all have to decide how much we want a particular level of perceived quality. i don't blame sony for testing the waters for a sales scheme that the u.s. supreme court has ruled is now lawful (blaming the current u.s.supreme court is another matter however). hopefully sony will decide that they can make more money allowing their dealers to compete openly. and perhaps learn that their strategy to lift perceived value by mandating escessive price levels is backfiring.
(but maybe not, because i am still seriously considering making the xbr8 purchase...damnit.)

Peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians have been frozen for almost two years. But Palestinians say that doesn't mean events aren't happening on the ground.
Recently, the Israeli military issued orders calling for evacuation and demolition of nearly a dozen Palestinian communities in the occupied West Bank. Palestinians see this as evidence of Israeli plans to annex the territory, though Israel denies this.

Harry Hopkins Monday, January 14, 2013: 7:56 am More from Harry Hopkins Rating: +20 | I go home ever several years to Hobart, IN and still have relatives living up there. What the writer points out about change is true and probably always will be. We cannot live in the past as the rest of the world surges ahead. Things change as new science develops new products and solutions. I am thankful that we are still evolving. Some would rather not see progress, it's a natural reaction. The Region is a thriving economic center in Indiana and it is not "run" by the GOP. |
evenkeel Monday, January 14, 2013: 8:13 am More from evenkeel Rating: +21 | Thankfully, someone brought up how all of our values should be based on Christianity. After all, we want to be just like the Taliban in Afghanistan, who made religious law, blew up "opposing" religious icons and oppressed those who weren't on board. The surest way to be left behind by the rest of the world is to cling to ancient belief systems that are purely based on faith. Practice your spirituality however you choose, but leave the public discourse out of it. [BY the way, my most valued friends in my life are or were children or grandchildren of christian clergymen. Many of my favorite people are ministers. I find them thoughtful, open-minded and considerate of my beliefs. Unlike many in their flock.] |

Necker Island (British Virgin Islands)
Necker Island is a 74 acre island in the British Virgin Islands just north of Virgin Gorda. All of the land on the island is owned by Sir Richard Branson, famous for his Virgin brand, and it is part of the Virgin Limited Edition portfolio of luxury properties. The entire island operates like a resort and can accommodate up to 28 guests.[1]
Contents |
Location [edit]
Necker Island is located at latitude 18.55 north and longitude 64.35 west in the eastern section of the British Virgin Islands slightly to the north of Virgin Gorda and Prickly Pear and to the north-east of Mosquito Island, (sometimes spelled Moskito Island). The British Virgin Islands (BVI) are a group of islands located approximately 1,100 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, 60 miles due east of Puerto Rico and, about 120 miles northeast of St. Barts.
History [edit]
The island was named after the 17th century Dutch squadron commander Johannes de Neckere, although it remained uninhabited until the late 20th century.
In 1965 the celebrated photographer Don McCullin and the journalist Andrew Alexander, spent fourteen days on the island at the behest of the Telegraph newspaper for which they worked.[2] The magazine editor had hoped that they would survive their castaway adventure for at least three weeks, but as McCullin later recounted, "because of our gathering weakness (…) out of temper, and out of water, we hoisted the red flag and were taken off in the early hours of the fifteenth day". According to McCullin, there was nothing idyllic about the desert island: "It was inhabited by snakes, scorpions and tarantulas (…) The mosquitos and other insects were more venomous and persistent than any I had encountered in Vietnam or the Congo."[3]
Ownership by Richard Branson [edit]
Sir Richard Branson first became aware that some of the islands in the British Virgin Islands were for sale in 1978. He promptly went to the British Virgin Islands for a holiday in order to investigate the prospective real estate. On first observing the islands, he envisioned using them to put up rock stars for his record label. Upon arrival, they were given a luxury villa and travelled around islands for sale by helicopter. The final island he saw was Necker Island, and after climbing the hill and being stunned by the view and wildlife, fell in love with the island. After making a lowball bid of £100,000 for the £3 million island, however, he was turned down and evicted from the island. A while later, the owner, Lord Cobham, in need of short-term capital, eventually settled for £180,000 after Branson had offered his final price of £175,000 three months before the actual sale took place. However, the government imposed a relatively common restriction on alien landholders: that the new owner had to develop a resort within five years or the island would revert to the state. Branson committed, determined to build a resort on his tropical dream island, notwithstanding his relatively modest capital at that time in his career.[citation needed]
When Branson bought the 74-acre (300,000 m2) island, it was uninhabited. He purchased the island at the age of 28, just six years after starting Virgin Group. It took 3 years and approximately US$10 million to turn it into a private island retreat. Using local stone, Brazilian hardwoods, Asian antiques, Indian rugs, art pieces and fabrics and bamboo furniture from Bali, the architects and elite designers created a 10 bedroom Balinese-style villa crowning a hill above the beach. Each of the 10 bedrooms has open walls giving a 360-degree view and cooling winds from any direction in the house. The island has accommodation for 28 people and rents out at US$53,000 to $54,000 a day. All that includes two "private" beaches, private pools, tennis courts, breathtaking views, a personal chef, a team of about 60 staff[4] and a wide array of water sports equipment.
The island is available for weddings, relaxation breaks, sports vacations, and even complete rentals for any purpose. One high profile guest, Larry Page, Google's billionaire co-founder, married his girlfriend, Lucy Southworth, on the island in early December 2007. Larry Page rented a majority of Virgin Gorda as well, as Necker was far too small to fit his 600+ guest party.[5]
In the early hours of Monday, August 22, 2011, The Great House, as it was called, burned down in a blaze believed to be caused by lightning from Tropical Storm Irene. The house was occupied at the time by as many as 20 guests, with Sir Richard Branson himself staying in a residence nearby. All 20 of the guests escaped unhurt from the burning house, which was said to have been totally destroyed, according to Sir Richard Branson. Among the 20 occupants were actress Kate Winslet, along with Branson's 90-year-old mother Eve and his 29-year-old daughter Holly, when the fire broke out in the early hours of the morning.[6]
In December 2011, just a few days before Christmas, Branson's daughter Holly married long term boyfriend Freddie Andrewes on the island "at exactly the same spot" where Sir Richard Branson, had married years earlier.[7]
Privacy [edit]
Although the land on the island is entirely privately owned, under British Virgin Islands law, all beaches up to the high-water mark are Crown land, and are open to the public. In practice, the security personnel which accompany guests to Necker Island are known for making it difficult for ordinary members of the public to enjoy the beaches, particularly when high profile guests are in residence. On one of the occasions when Diana, Princess of Wales stayed at the resort, security personnel kept a 150 metre perimeter around the island, within which the public were excluded.
When the island was being purchased, environmentalists expressed concerns that Necker Island was one of the relatively few places in the world that a rare species of gecko, the Virgin Islands dwarf gecko, lives and breeds. When Branson was granted an alien land-holder's licence to enable him to purchase the island, it was made conditional upon Sir Richard Branson's agreement that any legitimate scientific expedition to study the geckos should have full and unfettered access to the island.
Sir Richard Branson's official residency and tax status is reliant on his declaration that he lives on this island.

Metascore®Generally unfavorable reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
As Brier's comrade-in-lip-gloss, Ashlee Simpson, dressed to look like a teenybop girl version of Crispin Glover in "River's Edge," is the real deal -- in fake cred.
Read Full Review
Though filled with romantic contrivances and overlong musical numbers, Undiscovered is curiously lifeless. Bland actors portray single-cell characters in a plot scarcely more diverting than Ms. Simpson's reality vehicle, "The Ashlee Simpson Show."
An entirely dispensable, soapy caricature of a love story that comes complete with a jukebox full of music industry cliches plus Ashlee Simpson's big feature film debut.
The whole movie could be clipped by about 95 minutes and it would make a swell little video for Simpson's performance of the title cut from the soundtrack.
As a cautionary drama on the price of fame, Undiscovered could not tread on more exhaustively discovered territory, and the result is a reel-by-reel trail of cliches.
There is a good movie here--Strait actually sings the songs that stand on their own, and he's appealing, despite the rock movie cliches.

Iffy for 14+
Incoherent story of young artists.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the story is set in an L.A. music "scene," which means that characters drink, do drugs, and smoke. Characters seek fame, behave badly, cheat on each other, and fight briefly hand-to-hand; one girl is paid to seduce a young man. They use brief obnoxious language ("hard-on," "sucks", "screw"), argue, kiss, cuddle, and show romantic yearning, in handheld close-up (if you're averse to mobile framing, this film is not for you). One brief fight. The rock star phenom appears shirtless and sweaty on stage. Two agents discuss and then consume horse tranquilizers in a bar. Women wear revealing clothing, one young man appears in bed with two barely clad women.
Messages: Everyone is deceptive, selfish, and blissful as such.
Violence: Mild fisticuffs.
Sex: Characters kiss, cuddle, and yearn in close-up. The rock star phenom appears shirtless and sweaty on stage. Women wear revealing clothing, Euan appears in bed, shirtless, with two barely clad women.
Language: Obnoxious more than consistently offensive.
Consumerism: Music industry is a theme/setting; magazines, websites, and other forms of advertising appear frequently.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: Characters smoke, drink, and do drugs, including the prominent discussion and downing of a horse tranquilizer in a bar.

Surface To Air To Clutches/
On a long day of nothingness, my mind started to wander and I realized I had this big Surface To Air bag that I have never used… and quite frankly didn't really like. I figured I'd have some fun and show you all.
I first started by cutting the center seams, and separating the inside lining. Easy peezy. After separating it, I realized that it was way too wide to handle, so I cut off about 2 inches from each edge. It was easy to keep them centered, because the inside of the bag has two magnetic buttons. Then, I got to sewing.
And there you have it! After cutting off the two inches, I flipping it inside out and started to sew. I was SHOCKED when my sewing machine handled the leather like butter! After flipping it inside out, we have this clutch. Now, I know that my book peaks out of it, and I was thinking of adding a leather flap, but I like the fact that you can see it. Now I can finally buy some Lisa Frank folders… Kidding. I like that I can have things peaking out. Also, it works well without it.
After that, I realized there was a whole bunch of leather left. The bottom bundle of the bag (shown above) was about 5 or 6 pieces leather squares stapled together (Surface To Air Staples their bags?). I took them apart and started on my envelope clutch.
I took three of those squares, and set them up like this: two on top of each other, and one above (the folding part). Sewed it inside-out, flipped it in, sewed the upper corners together, and we have an envelope! It's an awkward size, but I only realized that because it's perfect for an iPad and notebooks, which I don't have… at the moment.
After, I was still interested in having something small, so I made a wallet cover. I'm keeping that metal wallet due to recent news of people scanning your credit card as they walk past you – metal wallets block the scanner. Thank goodness these wallets are thin and not uncomfortable to carry. Anyway, I folded a third of it over to cover the wallet, and took it to the machine.
I now have three new leather goodies: Simple Laptop/Folder Clutch, iPad Leather Envelope, and a Leather Wallet. Thank you Surface to air bag! I even have more leather for later creations.

Mods sorry if this is in the wrong spot please move it if it is.
This is going to be long and not make much sense so bare with me.
My DD is nearly 13yo now and we seperated from her father when she was just 14months old. He went on to marry the woman he was having an affair with behind my back and they had 3 sons. The eldestis just 12 months younger then my DD.
My DD's father seperated from his wife approx. 4 years ago now but spends all his time with his 3 sons when he isnt working. He has taken the boys on numerous holidays, pays for there sporting fees and even coaches/manages there teams. He always gets the boys birthday and christmas presents such as things like a computer,ipods, nintendo DS etc.
Now my DD is not stupid by any means and has commented on many occasions about what her brothers get off there father. Last xmas she was meant to get an nintendo DS but because he supposedly couldnt get a pink one he told her she will have to wait. Keep in mind the boys took great delight in telling her they got ipods, nintendos etc.
Last night she came out of her room in tears and when I asked her wjhat was wrong she asked me why her father doesnt love her. Let me say I was heartbroken to say the least. This man who is meant to be her father is doing nothing but screwing with her head. I told her if that is how she feels then she needs to ask him as I cant answer that for him.
What annoys me is that when she sees him which is not very often at all she talks to him like he is the best thing since sliced bread and then treats her stepdad like he is dirt. I am then stuck in the middle of my DH and DD all because of this stupid sperm donor of a father
(see told you it would be all over the place...lol)
He is making life so hard for my family here from his lack of being a father to his daughter.
I guess this was just a vent more then anything. Thanks if you read all my

The annual event featured songs, poems, plays, and a reading of important moments in Black American history such as the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery in the United States, public school desegregation and the first black baseball player Jackie Robinson playing in the major leagues. "It's to celebrate your ethnicity and to celebrate our diversity and in this school we have 20 languages and over 200 bilingual kids, and we just like to celebrate," said William Tyson Elementary School Principal John Kito.

The first ever comprehensive review of the health effects of mold. Conducted by the non-partisan Institute of Medicine, part of the Congressionally-chartered National Academy of Sciences that advises the federal government on health issues.
The report was conducted by leading international environmental, health and building scientists over a two-year period and represents the first comprehensive analysis of the health effects associated with damp environments.
The report essentially concludes that mold is linked to allergies and may possibly be linked to asthma and upper respiratory problems, but no evidence exists to support a link to more cancer, fatigue, neuropsychiatric disorders or other serious health claims.
The study should go a long way toward quelling consumer fears about mold and should bring some relief to the real estate industry, which has been inundated with lawsuits seeking compensation for exposure to mold.
Even though the report rejects the most sensational mold-related claims, it echoes NMHC/NAA's long-held advice to property owners to deal promptly and effectively with indoor dampness.

A patient in need of medical care was en route Thursday from a research station in Antarctica to Christchurch, New Zealand.
The patient "may require immediate corrective surgery best delivered at a more capable facility than is available at McMurdo," the National Science Foundation, which manages the U.S. Antarctic Program, said in a statement.
"The facility at McMurdo is equivalent to an urgent-care center in the U.S., and is not equipped for the type of procedure being contemplated."
The patient's identity has not been revealed publicly.
An Australian medical team, which had been asked by the United States to assist, flew into the remote research base on an A319 Airbus from Christchurch. The team landed on an ice runway at McMurdo Station about 1:15 p.m. Thursday (9:15 p.m. ET Wednesday), said Patti Lucas, spokeswoman for the Australian Antarctic Division.
They got a chilly reception: temperatures Thursday were -13 degrees Fahrenheit (-25 Celsius), according to the U.S. Antarctic Program.
The plane was airborne and en route with the patient back to Christchurch within about 75 minutes, said Debbie Wing, a spokeswoman for the U.S. National Science Foundation, which oversees the facility.
The patient was in stable condition before the plane's arrival, said Wing, adding that she could not say whether the person's condition is life-threatening.
The mission to the hub of the U.S. Antarctic Program was occurring during the Antarctic winter, when there is little daylight for six months.
The Australian team was enlisted to carry out the rescue because no U.S. aircraft was in a position to respond quickly, the NSF said in a statement.

- Dimensions: 234 x 156 mm

Human gene transfer is widely regarded as one of the most promising technologies for the treatment of a variety of disorders, but it presents practitioners with a variety of difficult ethical questions. Gene Transfer and the Ethics of First-in-Human Research examines the ethical and policy dimensions of testing interventions in human beings for the first time. The book discusses the difficult ethical challenges that arise from attempting to translate laboratory discoveries into clinical applications. These range from which available techniques to use, when to initiate human testing, questions of consent, expectation in public arenas, how to define acceptable risk, and the inclusion of vulnerable or disadvantaged subjects in early phase trials. This book is relevant to ethicists, legal practitioners, policy makers, geneticists and clinicians involved in clinical trials of new medical interventions.

Here we are a community, we should be nice to each other. We shouldn't be making fun of new people, we were all new once. We all have acted like that, and "some" of us have matured.

Thailand's Seven Amazing Wonders
Thailand's government's latest campaign to boost tourism in Thailand is the unveiling of the country's "Seven Amazing Wonders". What are those wonders? you might ask. Wat Pho? Jatujak weekend market? Vensus Flytrap, Thailand's all-ladyboy pop group? Not quite. Thailand's Seven Amazing Wonders, according to the Bangkok Post today, are:
- Thai hospitality
- Historical sites
- Beaches
- Natural attractions
- Health services
- "Trendy" spots such as boutique hotels
- Festivals
Those guys at TAT aren't exactly the most creative bunch. After previous campaigns like "Amazing Thailand" and "Visit Thailand Year 1988" tourist will now be told of the wonders that await them in Thailand, like spas… and hotels… and nice people. Sounds like a blast.
I was thinking of ways to spruce up TAT's campaign and its lack of pizzaz. My Seven Amazing Wonders of Thailand would be:
- Spooky Hello Kitty pendant dolls hanging off the rear bumpers of pickup trucks
- Mum Jokmok – star of every Thai movie in history and owner of a great face
- Scraggly street cats with no tails
- Five-baht packs of dried cuttle fish from 7-Eleven
- Farang beggars making 30,000 baht a month on the streets of Bangkok
- The man with no legs who amazingly drags himself around Jatujak market every weekend
- A national army that "does not encourage their men to act like hooligans". (Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont)
I think my campaign would draw a few more people to Thailand than TAT's ideas. What would your seven wonders be? What would attract new tourists to come to Thailand for their vacations?
Techno' tags: Thailand, Bangkok, Tourism, Holiday
8 Responses to Thailand's Seven Amazing Wonders
Are you kidding about the farang beggars? Now, honestly, I never saw that!
I'm not sure I want to see more tourists in Thailand. Have to think about that one. :)
1 falang tourists wanting to use drugs even tho they're easier to obtain at home, and without trouble with the cops.
2 falang becoming an attraction for local thais on khao san, turning it all around
3 a coup doesn't provoke a big riot, but is initially seen as beneficial
4 falang coming to thailand to get "girlfriends" in pattaya and similar spots, and the local men don't want to kill them for it. this actually makes thailand the least racist country in the world
5 thai and khmer beggars making much less than 30000 baht for sure
6 18 yo not allowed to drink by their parents
7 10 yo kids allowed to drive motorcycles by their parents
mh you can go on and on, thailand is amazing indeed, i had a tha guest just today in my home, and it took her less than five minutes to persuade me to go to thailand next year, and not try nothing new like africa or latin america. damn i miss thailand
Fingers are itching to tap at this point but I don't want to put more negative comments on your site. I agree though, their list is laughable.
Chaiyo has reminded me how glad I am not to be there.
You said – falang (this juvenile term is in itself racist) tourists wanting to use drugs even tho they're easier to obtain at home, and without trouble with the cops.
Me – 8 years in Thailand and the only people who have ever "pushed" drugs (and I mean pushed) in my direction have been Thai.
You said – falang becoming an attraction for local thais on khao san, turning it all around
Me – Really, foreigners seen as an attraction, like animals in a zoo. What does that really say about the locals?
You said – a coup doesn't provoke a big riot, but is initially seen as beneficial
Me – Don't you remember the other coups? They always end in innocent death and immunity for the corrupt thieving generals and politicians who instigate the coup in the first place. That fact that you seem to favour strict military rule over a democracy says a lot about you.
You said – falang coming to thailand to get "girlfriends" in pattaya and similar spots, and the local men don't want to kill them for it. this actually makes thailand the least racist country in the world
Me – I met my wife at work, she's not from Pattaya or the type of girl you are insinuating but still we get no end of verbal abuse from small minded Thai men. And check your facts, just see how many foreign men have lost their lives because of their involvement with Thai women over the years.
You said – thai and khmer beggars making much less than 30000 baht for sure
Me – Given the perfect "share the wealth" system in place in Thailand surely there are no Thai beggars!
You said – 18 yo not allowed to drink by their parents
Me – So you're saying that no one in Thailand under the age of 18 drinks because their parents have banned it. Open your eyes mate!!
You said – 10 yo kids allowed to drive motorcycles by their parents
Me – And this is such a good thing, really? If I got a dollar for every time I've had to swerve to avoid a kid on a motorbike riding the wrong way up the road and not really in control I'd be soaking up the sun on a beach (not in Thailand) and not bothering about work on Monday. Go to casualty and see what a 10 year old looks like after a collision with a car! Oh, the 10 year old wouldn't be in casualty because there is no free of charge casualty or free ambulance service in Thailand.
Woah! So much negativity!
I 'm really missing Thailand – I've only been gone ten days and wishing I can come right back….
relax leo
matt just came up with a "fun" list of amazing thai wonders. look, i just wanted to draw attention to stuff i find ironic in thailand, not what i think is great in thailand.
but why am i explaining this, you're obviously a complete moron if you think "that i think" (love that) that its cool for 10 yos to ride a motorbike or have a military coup.
check out the word irony, sarcasm. it is called humour
look its funny when tourists think locals are exotic then take fotos of them, looking at khao san its almost completly the opposite. arghhh i am wasting my time
Relax you two! Nowhere is perfect. But we, Thai people are trying to make our place to be a best place for you and you are always welcomed to Thailand. Anyway my heart is full of hapiness when you say you MISS Thailand!! I'm a Thai studying in China. I can't tell you how much I miss Thailand!!!
