I like the veterianarian treatment idea. Did you know that dogs have a "universal" blood type? Any blood will work for research and such.
Nice article ML. It may have said so in the longer version but better technology available in wealthier nations, of course. AND of course only nationalized healthcare OR fear of medical malpractice drives the whole thing forward, right? All good IMO. GLTY
Thanks for the advice. Not interested in moving to zecco so guess I'll wait like everyone else for a miracle. I was surprised the trade went through at all. First time in probably a year that I tried to place an order successfully but like I said wouldn't take anything over 10,000. I have made trades greater than 10K on other penny stocks now that I think about it so must be somethng related to the low low pps or stock itself.
Good morning Homer. What's up with the recent pps increase in your opinion? haven't figured it out yet and hope it continues today. GLTY
lol. I recommend morley as translator.
Locks, epigenetics is incredible. Wasn't aware. Trying to find the right reference to post and educate. Where is MrLong? It is so complicated that it takes a fair amount of baseline knowledge to understand and I refuse to use wikipedia as it is open to alteration by the uninformed. Did you know they outlaw wikipedia is high school? Definitely an application with embryonic cells IMO
Me too Booger. Thanks for the PM.
Agree. Some days of the week I find it hard to put a few English words in sequence. haha
Awesome skill set morley.
thanks locks. Case in point. Translation could have several meanings.
What does Mirar mirar mean?
Hey robbie. I personally don't have a problem with the translation thing. As you may or may not know, in the medical field it is now imperative that instructions from doctors or nurses be translated by certified medical interpretors. As it turns out family members and other friends try to soften the blow of bad news or exagerate the good news so the true message is potentially lost "in translation". I can only imagine how the legalease thing might work involving significant $$$. Best to get it right the first time IMO. GLTU
Nice post. I was inspired by another of Matt's posts recently although I don't know him personally on facebook. It was awesome.
Some may call it fluff but to me it is very big picture.
The other thing you may or may not know about J&J is that they are very friendly to the field of Perinatal medicine as well as specifically Neonatal Nursing. Here's a recent clip about Neonatalogy topics in Africa. May seem OT but Perinatal medicine has a big umbrella.

Only on a message board could one be honest and have someone say it's a joke. GLTU eyes
I remember Gomer saying SURPRISE, SURPRISE. Showing my age but good one. Wish I had a video clip for the future date
Fidelity only lets me buy 10,000 shares in retirement account. Not sure if it's subpenny only or not. Not familiar with AON
Want to hear something really scarey? In my attempts to average down and cut my losses, I was the sole purchaser of this stock today for 10,000 shares. Now THAT is not a good sign.
Something about that trend reminds me of a word...can't think of it right now. Oh yeah....recession. Hmmmm
I put all my shares up for .99. A psychological boost for sure.
Wasn't it Rosen himself who requested the DS be moved to September 24th? My assumption was he wanted to keep it alive for another hearing vs risk a ruling that day or other discussion.
I don't like frogs at all but that's a great video!
I have seen commentary about whether the FDA can regulate stem cells or not. I can't follow the thinking at all. FDA regulates body fluids, as well as food, and even medical devices, as I'm sure you know. Under Blood, biologics, vaccines. Found this on their website.

Bone marrow harvesting absolutely painful although they give you a lot of drugs these days. Donor cells a lot less problematic if a good match can be found. The BMT procss itself is absolutely amazing recently. It's almost as innocuous as a blood transfusion. The aftermath not so much of a smooth ride. I was reading that you have to have a stroke to be entered into some of the NIH clinical trials for SCD BMT. That says a lot. The long standing First Do No Harm prevails which is a good thing in my book.
Good one. Pigs the smartest barnyard animal ya know! haha
Does sound pretty odd, doesn't it? I bet using human placentas would be FDA regulated so a no go. As you implied, maybe in the future.
Karin, most neonatal and maternal animal research is performed on sheep as they have approximately the same gestational period for birthing offspring. Sheep most closely approximate the human pregnancy process. Testing of drugs for efficacy to newborns and pregnant moms always done in sheep first.
Here's some helpful info about bone marrow transplant. Procedure is no walk in the park necessitating weeks to months of reverse isolation to prevent infection and mimimize rejection of transplant. As with many things in medicine, the cure can kill and risks are high which is why tx reserved for most severe SCD. On the less morbid side, rejection minimized by good match of ESC if family lucky enough to have another child with same blood type. The Russian roulette effect is that they might have another child with SCD. So sad.

OK I see your link now. Seems like this would be a universal treatment for SCD, especially if available since 2002 but it isn't. Wonder why. From the paragraph posted, sounds like only indicated for severe cases of SCD. I'll see if I can find any more info and post if I do.
Is the statement about Sickle Cell below really true? I haven't heard that. Link?
IMHO a very substantial question... What I have learned over the years is that the general idea on the table is that the burden of proof is on the parties making the complaint. Therefore the opposing counsel isn't necessarily going to make it easy on the complaintant (correct word??) ie good luck figuring it out...hmmm where have we heard that before?
K I hear you'll take one for the team and will give you credit next week if the situation permits. If not, take another week off!
Didn't see video. Would appreciate that as well.
Go back to work then....haha Just kidding.
Great story. Thanks for sharing especially on the almost eve of 9/11.
I concur with your thinking Dew
Sounds interesting. Link?
Nice post stevechac. GLTU
Thanks sfraven for the update. I was not aware of the search engine info mentioned.
This could be a positive, if passed, for companies in stem cell business IMO

Obama planning infrastructure and R&D tax push
Congress has little time to act on White House plans Story
Comments Screener (398) Alert Email Print ShareBy Steve Goldstein and Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- President Barack Obama will later this week announce a plan to speed business-tax write-offs, published reports said, building on a plan announced over the weekend to spend $50 billion on infrastructure.
The two initiatives, which face an uncertain road toward congressional approval, come against a backdrop of an economy that continues to languish and as the Democrats appear ripe for numerous pickoffs in the midterm elections.
Obama eyes tax breaks for businessesThe president is proposing that companies be allowed to write off 100% of new investment in plants and equipment through 2011, a plan White House economists say would cut business taxes by nearly $200 billion. John McKinnon, Bob O'Brien and Neal Lipschutz discuss.
According to articles in The Wall Street Journal and New York Times, Obama will use a Wednesday address in Cleveland to allow research-and-development costs to be written off more quickly, from a current process that takes between three and 20 years.
The 100% expensing proposal would run through 2011.
Analysts are skeptical that Congress will be able to push through new initiatives during lawmakers' roughly month-long work period, and Republicans instantly criticized the White House plans.
"I'm not that hopeful for this short work period," said Marc Gerson, an attorney with Miller & Chevalier and a former tax counsel to the House Ways and Means Committee.
"The legislative calendar makes it difficult for any legislation."
Senate lawmakers are scheduled to return on Monday and House members are due to come back Tuesday. Both chambers have a target adjournment date of Oct. 8.
The report cited White House economists as saying the plan would cut business taxes by nearly $200 billion over two years, though the government would lose only $30 billion over the long run because future deductions would disappear.
Peter Morici, a University of Maryland professor, said the history of "investment- and employment-tax credits is [one of] modest immediate effects. Then, he said, "several months later, enterprises spend less -- much like the recent experience with 'cash for clunkers' and auto sales and [with] tax credits for first-time home buyers."
David Rosenberg, chief economist and strategist at Gluskin Sheff, said the fiscal proposals "may never live to see the light of day," and should be viewed in the context of the upcoming midterm elections, where Democrats are at risk of losing the House.
He also said that the U.S. doesn't need a "corporate welfare program" at a time of record liquidity on corporate balance sheets.
Obama unveils infrastructure planPresident Obama today unveiled a new plan to upgrade American infrastructure, bring the country's highways and railroads into the 21st Century while creating jobs. Video courtesy of NewsCore and photo courtesy of Associated Press.
Obama at a Labor Day speech in Milwaukee outlined a six-year, $50 billion plan to boost infrastructure, by rebuilding 150,000 roads, lay and maintain 4,000 miles of railways, and boost air-traffic control systems. See full story on Obama's Milwaukee speech.
Part of the money would fund an infrastructure bank to invest in projects critical to the economy, while also providing jobs.
Rep. Tom Price, a Georgia Republican, criticized the proposal and said that the Obama administration "just does not understand life in the private sector."
"Infrastructure is important, but borrowing another $50 billion is clearly not the answer we need," said Price on Tuesday.
The president has insisted the plan won't increase the deficit, and his spokesman said the program would not amount to a new stimulus plan.
Obama is still calling on Congress not to extend Bush-era tax cuts for families earning more than $250,000, though Republicans are pushing for an extension for all income categories.
