For scientists and their supporters in Washington, this should be a week for popping the champagne corks—although the war they've been fighting is far from over. As early as Tuesday evening, July 18, the Senate is expected to pass a bill loosening restrictions on federal funding for stem-cell research. "We will certainly be celebrating in our office," says Carrie D. Wolinetz of the Federation Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB).
Will you work for a cure?
Herb Heinz is a member of East Bay for Democracy and Oakland for Democracy.
As a 43-year-old who has lived with Parkinson's Disease for over six years, I've learned that chronic degenerative illness is not for sissies. Parkinson's is a progressive neurological condition that brings a slow, unpredictable but irreversible decline of physical and mental abilities. No matter how well you adjust to these declines, the one thing you can depend on is that they will keep coming.
So I do my best to treasure and appreciate the things I still can do while I hope for a cure. People with Parkinson's and other chronic illnesses thrive on hope. Right now most scientists would agree that the best hope for curing Parkinson's Disease is research using embryonic stem cells. This amazing technology could also lead to new treatments or cures for diabetes, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, and many other diseases.
The word in Washington D.C. is that Monday (July 17) the Senate will finally vote on The Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act (HR 810). The bill, which was passed by the U.S. House of Representatives over a year ago, will expand current policy to allow for federal dollars to be used for stem cell research. It specifies strict ethical guidelines: the stem cells may only be derived from embryos leftover from the In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) process (embryos that otherwise would be destroyed!) and the couple must provide written consent.
Recent polls indicate that an overwhelming 72% of the American people support federal funding for stem cell research. If you are part of this majority, please contact your senators and let them know how important their support of HR 810 is to you and to millions of Americans and their families.

Great article showing impact of mobile electronics in 3rd world. The 3rd world now has more cellphones 59% than the 1st world. Checkout how they are powering their phones.

<<The demand for cellphone calls has sprouted several offshoot industries. For a fee, people type text messages for the illiterate. In places where there is little or no electricity -- which means most of Congo -- entrepreneurs set up small diesel-powered generators and connect plug boards with 30 sockets. People plug in their phones to charge for a couple of hours for about 30 cents.>>
Lots of volume today on PLFM even tho we are down but still nice volume over 2 million today..

When do you expect word on anything from PLFM should we hear something soon or at least by years end or next year ?
any guesses?
Fossa very intresting post keep us informed when you find out more to thanks
I am buying more MKTY today.
IMO its too cheap.
Hopefully PLFM is close to inking a deal with someone I don't know all we can do is hope for the best ..
Its nice to have a board with some class here on ihub Ragingbull is so yesturday.
good luck to everyone .
GO PLFM GO!
I really think PLFM is trying to get some deals done and alot of companies would have gave up I hope that the hardwork pays off for everyone of us very soon.
PLFM is over due a really nice rally run up that sounds like fun!
count me in :)
MKTY up over 10% today but I am holding long term I still think the shares are too cheap!
just bought a few more MKTY today while its on sale..
I still think MKTY is the leader in the industry ..
Its very private just like PLUG who does not allow tours at their
locations for tours because of competition.
MKTY and its award winning tech will have prototypes that MDTL still can't wait to see them A million from a huge company like Samsung tells me we are heading in the right direction I also like our new ceo who has brought alot of new tech to market.
leaving his home in Silicon valley to NY to run MKTY shows even more potential.
The goverment and Gillete and now Samsung .
Lets hope MKTY meets its goals for 06 and we see some brighter days ahead..
I agree 100% the raging bull sucks big time ..unfornatuley so does the Market.
This is much better than the bull.
so keep posting here.
dow almost down 200 and PLFM up 25% and 3 million in volume..
tommorow should be interesting ..
Nice call fossa on the .007 buying oppertunity ...
Lets hope for the best...
Go PLFM go!
IF plfm gets signed contracts thsi train will finally leave the station IMO the money from GTE will flow into PLFM like a herd of elephants ...
A PLFM contract could propel us even above the OTC:BB
lets hope for the best!
Prominent Digital Divide Authority Endorses Platforms Wireless' 'ARC' System
2001
Platforms Wireless International Corporation, (OTC: PLFM), the developer of the innovative Airborne Relay Communications "ARC System" for wireless voice and data communications, announced today that Craig Warren Smith, one of the most prominent driving forces behind the current global movement to close the Digital Divide, has endorsed the ARC System as "a long-sought solution for providing Telecommunications and Internet connectivity to the emerging nations of the world."
Mr. Smith is a noted proponent of the use of digital entrepreneurship to replace failed infrastructure development programs heavily subsidized by governments. A Fellow both at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government and MIT, he is engaged in the development and implementation of market-based solutions to Digital Divide problems at Harvard University's Center for International Development and MIT's Media Lab. As Senior Consultant to the United Nations, Mr. Smith has also played a significant role in shaping the UN Task Force on Information Technology to be launched later this year by Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Mr. Smith is the founder of Digital Partners (www.DigitalDivide.org), headquartered in Seattle, Washington, which engages IT entrepreneurs to help find solutions to world poverty. Many prominent foundations and corporations, including The World Bank, The Ford Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation, The Kellogg Foundation, and Microsoft have supported Mr. Smith's pioneering work on the Digital Divide challenge.
Mr. Smith recently encouraged Her Excellency, Mrs. Megawati Sukarnoputri, the newly appointed President of Indonesia, to consider deploying the ARC System as a solution for building a cost-effective telecommunications and Internet connectivity infrastructure for the Indonesian archipelago.
"The ARC System," Mr. Smith stated, "offers great potential for countries such as Indonesia, where less than four percent of the population have telephone access, and where the geographical challenges of a widespread archipelago have compelled the industry to look beyond conventional approaches to connectivity. Systems such as the ARC System can help emerging nations leapfrog into the ranks of the digitally connected nations, and help them establish their own self-directed path to progress and economic growth.
"The cost of installation for a 16-beam ARC System," Mr. Smith explained, "appears to be in the range of $65 per person. Other approaches to installation can be much more expensive, as much as $1,000 per person for a fixed line in rural areas of the developing world."
"At a time when the IMF is looking to the new Indonesian President to develop the country's resources and reduce national debt," Mr. Smith continued, "the emergence of leading-edge Internet technology offers an enormous opportunity to connect Indonesia to the global digital mainstream, and to help revitalize its national economy.
"Indonesian businesspeople, executives and public officials can use the system as a means to develop cyber cafes, new e-businesses and numerous other e-applications that would promote education and employment opportunities in remote areas."
William C. Martin, Chairman & CEO of Platforms Wireless, stated, "We are pleased and gratified to have the ARC System recognized by someone of Mr. Craig Warren Smith's stature. Mr. Smith's endorsement significantly enhances the global visibility of the ARC System, and our efforts to provide an efficient and cost-effective telecommunications infrastructure to rural areas and the emerging nations of the world."

The only thing thats gonna move this stock upwards is positive news at this point any news may do..
PLFM goals for the year should be (2006)
1. To get at least one contract signed .
2. To get a credible IR firm.
3. To file to get back on the OTC:BB and off the pinks.
good luck to all.
PLFM active in early trading 1.4 million shares traded before 10:00 am EST this stock usually does not have early trading it being from the west coast should be a very interesting day for PLFM holders..
not sure whats going on with it.
Rumor has it PLFM is close to a contract for its ARC system volume has been interesting lately..also created a plfm board on ihub
I have heard the same rumors but its all secpitcal and up in the air until if and when they get contracts ..
for now its like a lotto ticket I own only 52,000 shares at a higher price but I am going to hold and wait if they pull this off it would be very good and alot of investors will come from GTE to PLFM and my theroy is why if this was a scam would they still be workin on a stock less than a penny ?
Bill Martin Ceo of PLFM took over plfm and invested his own money into it or PLFM would have gone belly up there has been several bumps in the road since then for the company but I still think theres a good chance they can finally pull of landing a few contracts hopefully its soon .
Its a risk no question about it if you invest consider investing in some risk money you won't kick the dog over that investment..if it fails best of luck
I would also like to add that the ARC system could be used in emergency situations for goverments..
