Don’t waste your hard earned money on garbage like this but if you have to , bring you a pillow 

And I hate the racist Judgmental red neck soul twisted demonic low lives that attack the minorities in this great nation of USA

Big Pharma needs new blockbusters and has $200 billion in cash sitting on the sidelines to acquire companies with breakthrough technology. And I believe Geron's technology has the biggest breakthrough potential in medicine…even grander than RNAI.

I think we're likely to see a land grab by Big Pharma soon for the biotechnology companies doing innovative research in the stem-cell arena, and nobody's doing it better than Geron.

I see Geron potentially being bought out by one of the big players for upwards of $2 billion. I think the buyout of Sirna really rang a bell in this industry, and the message is that if you're a Big Pharma company, you need to put the stem cell and biotech brains in your pocket -- or you'll be left competing against them.

  according to a survey released on Monday.Women are more likely to live paycheck to paycheck, at 47 percent, than men, at 36 percent, according to the survey conducted for CareerBuilder.com, an online job site based in Chicago. Overall, 41 percent of workers say they often or always live paycheck to paycheck, it said.Also, 41 percent of women say they do not have enough income to live comfortably, compared with 29 percent of men.

U.S. government and other research reports have found that women earn about 77 cents for every dollar earned by men for comparable work. Women are also more likely to be single parents.The new survey said 19 percent of workers who earn $100,000 or more annually often or always live paycheck to paycheck.

It found 58 percent of respondents report they set a budget each month. But one in five say they typically spend more than their budget, most often blowing it by eating out.

The survey also said one in five do not set aside any money for savings each month. Of those who do, 14 percent save $500 or more a month, 28 percent save $100 or less and 16 percent save less than $50.

It said 26 percent of women do not set aside any savings, compared with 17 percent of men.

The survey of 6,169 full-time adult workers was conducted between November 17 and December 11, 2006 by Harris Interactive and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1 percentage point.

 

 

NRDC estimates we would need about 114 million acres of land. We need to look at this another way - 73 million acres of soybeans have been planted. Why can’t we do the same with energy crops? Instead of exporting soybeans we could be reducing oil imports. In addition we have 40 million acres of CRP lands. What if we used them for energy production by growing natural prairie crops like switchgrass (more likely grass “cocktails”) on them? Between export crops and CRP lands we have more than 120 million acres in this country. We believe that a fraction of our export crop lands could more than replace all our oil imports while improving our trade balance, increasing farm incomes, improving biodiversity in the fields, and making our fuel cheaper

 

$33 Million Donation from Lorry Lokey Will Go Toward Stem Cell Institute Building at Stanford

(CSRwire) STANFORD, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Lorry I. Lokey, the founder of Business Wire and a passionate supporter of education and science, will give a minimum of $33 million to help build a home for Stanford's Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine.

Lokey, who has given away much of his fortune to educational institutions, said he turned his attention to stem cells in 2001, after the Bush administration limited federal funding for stem cell research, discouraging the study of these potentially powerful cells.

"The important thing to me is that stem cells might not only extend life, but also improve the quality of life, as so many people suffer in their later years," said Lokey, who will turn 80 in March. "But I think stem cells will have applications across the entire life span."

Lokey's contribution to the School of Medicine - its largest single gift to date from an individual - will help launch construction of new stem cell laboratories on campus where scientists will probe the power of these elusive cells in treating conditions as diverse as cancer, stroke and diabetes. Lokey hopes the gift will be more than $33 million; the funds are being held in an account that is expected to grow in value before construction begins

Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and Kennedy insider who helped define mainstream liberalism during the Cold War and remained an eminent public thinker into the 21st century, has died

Projected earnings for such companies are decreasing

Cuurent prices are still pricey

here are other plays out there without feeling you are standing beside a cliffف
Many folks still believe oil will head lower in a coming recession. As long as India, China, Japan are buying, oil prices stay buoyant. Look at China, they are not into ethanol because they have a billion mouths to feed. They go directly to Latin America & Africa & Iran & Russia, to secure deals

This is not long term play, its the road to losses

Wake up. Turning edible food into fuel
