"With the splitting of the atom, everything in the world changed except our way of thinking. Now we are drifting to unparalleled catastrophe." Albert Einstein http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Fixed that for you. The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that the inventor of the radio was in fact Nikola Tesla. Guglielmo Marconi's patents were deemed invalid. Nikola Tesla was also the creator of the electric grid!!! The first was built in Niagara Falls, New York. Tesla, Nikola (1856–1943), Serbian-born American physicist, electrical engineer, and inventor, recognized as one of the outstanding pioneers in the electric power field. Tesla was born to Serbian parents in Smiljan, Croatia (then part of Austria–Hungary), and educated at the Polytechnic School in Graz, Austria, and at the University of Prague. After working for three years as an electrical engineer he immigrated (1884) to the United States, where he later became a naturalized citizen. For a brief period he was employed by Thomas Edison, but he left that position to devote himself exclusively to experimental research and invention. In 1888 Tesla designed the first practical system of generating and transmitting alternating current for electric power. The American rights to this epoch-making invention were bought by the American inventor George Westinghouse, who demonstrated (1893) the system for the first time at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Two years later Tesla's alternating-current motors were installed at the Niagara Falls power project. Tesla's many inventions include high-frequency generators (1890) and the Tesla coil (1891), a transformer with important applications in the field of radio communications. He was, indeed, the "Lord of the Lightening"!!! http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Living in Missouri (unfortunately), One word discribes this wasteland - MISERY. Been to all of the states except 4 of them. Born and raised in Southern Cal. San Diego ROCKS. The best part of Missouri is the center - no matter which way you go - you're heading out. Lived in Mexia, Texas - nice place. Lived in Jacksonville, Fl - was alright. Lived out of the US for a year in Mexico - loved it. But Missouri - dispise it, Cannot think of one good thing about this state, except for the aforementioned center. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Uhmmm, did you know that the Vietnam war is also partly responsible for the spread as will the current war will continue to add to the ranks of newly infected? War has always produced a large number of IV drug users and being that needle sharing or drawing from the same spoon is a transmission point it is highly likely that the current war will produce a large number of opiate addicted veterans and a number of these addicts will contract the virus and subsequently pass it on to other and they will in turn do the same and so on and on and on. Drug Use The 1970s saw an increase in the availability of heroin following the Vietnam War and other conflicts in the Middle East , which helped stimulate a growth in intravenous drug use. This increased availability and together with the development of disposable plastic syringes and the establishment of 'shooting galleries' where people could buy drugs and rent equipment, provided another route through which the virus could be passed on. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

This is very interesting and could explain certian problems that I deal with. I do take every piece of information that I post here at dz.com concerning HIV/AIDS serious. I do it to inform the newly infected on what to expect for their future so that they can better understand the complications. Also, for those who are at risk (everyone is at risk, whether you believe that or not). I do not post to invite rhetoric so please, if you have nothing constructive to add please reserve the bandwith for those who do wish to add helpful information. After 11 years of dealing with HIV, I hope, what I have learned can be used by you, the reader, to protect yourself and to educate your own family and friends. Hope you learn something. Scans show how HIV attacks brain HIV, which attacks the body's natural defences, also damages the brain, three dimensional medical scans have shown. The MRI images captured by a US team could show why up to 40% of people with HIV/Aids have neurological symptoms. Compared with healthy people without the virus, the brains of the Aids patients studied were 15% thinner. Scans could be used to spot patients who might benefit from brain-protecting drugs, the authors told Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. HIV experts said more work was needed to check that neuroprotective drugs would be beneficial to Aids patients and that these treatments would not be safe to take alongside the powerful anti-HIV drugs such individuals are already on. As drugs improve, people with HIV/Aids are living much longer. However, at least two in five living with HIV/Aids will suffer from cognitive impairments, ranging from minor deficits to dementia, studies suggest. While researchers are aware of this, the pattern of damage the virus causes in the brain has not been well understood. Brain thinning Dr Paul Thompson, from the University of California, Los Angeles, along with colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh, used 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to see what was going on in the brains of 26 patients with Aids. We'd need more solid evidence on how HIV can affect the brain in different individuals before we looked at offering neuroprotective drugs Rod Watson of the Terrence Higgins Trust Compared with 14 healthy controls, the Aids patients had 10-15% thinner brain regions, including areas called the primary sensory, motor and premotor cortices, regardless of whether they were taking anti-HIV drugs or not. This tissue loss shown up by the brain mapping correlated with the cognitive and motor deficits that the Aids patients displayed on a battery of brain function tests. The brain tissue loss was the opposite of that seen in common dementias such as Alzheimer's disease and appeared to be related to the individual's CD4 count - a marker of how far HIV/Aids has progressed and how healthy the person's immune system is. The researchers said: "With 40 million patients worldwide now living with HIV/Aids, detailed biomarkers of [brain] deficits, such as the cortical maps presented here, are increasingly needed to help gauge the success of neuroprotective therapies. "Here, they reveal how Aids impacts the brain and may also help identify early changes in neurologically asymptomatic patients with HIV who might benefit most from neuroprotective agents." 'Long-term issues' Rod Watson of the Terrence Higgins Trust said: "We do know that some people with HIV could go on to develop Aids-related dementia or other illnesses affecting the brain. "This study tracking any cognitive decline is interesting but small. We'd need more solid evidence on how HIV can affect the brain in different individuals before we looked at offering neuroprotective drugs. "In particular, there would have to be detailed research into how useful these drugs would be and how safe in terms of interacting with existing HIV treatments." David Simpson, professor of neurology at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, told the BBC News website: "This paper is interesting and provocative, and if the value of this technique is validated in other studies, from other centres, this imaging approach may be a valuable surrogate marker of brain function in HIV infection." He added: "The increased survival of patients with HIV, due mostly to HAART, has placed greater emphasis on long-term issues affecting quality of life, such as neurological disease." Professor Simpson said that, while many neurological complications are more common in advanced Aids, others, including HIV-associated cognitive disorder, may occur in HIV positive people who have relatively high CD4 counts. Steve Small, deputy chief executive of Mildmay, an HIV/AIDS charity, specialising in HIV related brain impairment in the UK, said: "This research backs up what most people have known for sometime. "You have an increased propensity for cognitive decline the more immunosuppressed you are but, whereas before we have thought that this would go away with anti retro virals, this study claims that it will not." http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Why should it matter what party they belong to? Rep. or Dem., if they lie, cheat and swindle, they are doing it to the American people. Screw the loyalty to the party crap. There is far to much division and nothing is getting done that truely matters. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

To bad he he wasn't taken alive. Many would had turned a blind eye to him being tortured for info. They could had forced him to watch a Queen Latifah movie marathon. Or maybe a few hours of The View. Ohhh, the pain, the pain. He would had told them anything. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

So what is to stop the insurgency from using this as a way to garner funds? Pass info send a few on their way to martyrville and then funnel the cash back into the insurgency. If the Iraqis really cared they would do it for no cash reward but because they truely love their country. I think those who are not part of the insurgency would take the cash and get as far away from Iraq as possible and never return. I wonder why every able bodied man and woman in Iraq do not take up arms against the insurgents. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Asides from the captured operative, why do any of these people need to be paid (millions of dollars) for info? Why do they not do it to advance the end of the agression? Seems to me that they care not about their country but care only about striking it rich. Didn't a nephew of Saddam collect after turning in the sons whom he sheltered and also fought along side of. If I were to discovered that the guy down the road was planning an attack and turned him in, should I expect to reap millions or should I be happy just knowing that I helped my country? http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

CHICKS ROCK!!! Especially the ones who skydive!!! http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

You should check in to Taoism. No Gods to worship. Get a copy of Tao Teh Ching along with Hua Hu Ching. It's all about connecting with the universe on a much higher level than religion. Taoism is a way of life. Truth Above Oneself Truth Among Ourselves You'll find greater peace in yourself once you read the words in this book. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

Promote nuclear disarment in all countries. Including the US. No country needs an nuclear arsenal. Nuclear energy is another matter altogether. But, bombs? Pure insanity!! What is wrong with promoting peace? Is it wrong to promote peace? To hear Bush and his war-mongers, it is. To hear Bin Laden and his band of nuts, it is. To hear the Bush - puppet, Tony Blair, it is. Something is terriably wrong. What is wrong is that the wrong people are leading us and quickly down the wrong road. Promotion of peace is The Way. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

I dropped a bottle into the South China Sea in 1981 with my name and address with a message to promote peace and to add your name and address and to return the bottle to the sea. I haven't thought of that bottle for years untill I read this. I wonder what became of my bottle and message? http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com

WOW!!!!! Dang that is cheap. With the cost pushing at $20.00 and very seldomn getting 9000-9500' around here, I jump less and less. Skydiving was a cheap way to have fun, but in recent years it has become more and more costly and commercialized. Think I'll most likely start BASE jumping and get further away from the high cost of jumping from planes. Edit: jumped to soon, should had read further as I see that you are paying $23.00 per jump. http://www.flyingloomembroidery.com
