DFA's increasing worry that the situation between the US and Pakistan over the Bin Laden incident may escalate and they may go to war and

this article in Nature from earlier this year.
That this year saw natural and nuclear catastrophies in NZ and Japan, wars and revolutions in North Africa and Middle East, riots in London, not to mention all the tragedies and sad things that happened to family members and friends this year.... and it's less than a month to Christmas and it's the last thing I want to be celebrating. Somehow.

Don't forget that scientists in the Netherlands have developed a potential super-flu for no particular reason.

They came with white hands and left with red hands.

Have neither of you seen Mission Impossible 2? They need a super bug so that they can produce a super vaccine.

Nah man, he means Naughty Nurses 2.

EDIT: And in groove related news, I asked my dad on his opinion about the gf sleeping over, and he OK'd it. This is good news but I feel guilty because I more or less went around my mum's back. It's not a nice feeling.

Feel safe in the knowledge that as a guy, your mother will NEVER be okay with your gf sleeping over at ANY point in your life. Even when you live on your own, if you even MENTION to your mother that your gf slept over, she'll have problems with it. I'm 34 and my mother is STILL that protective of me.

Don't feel bad for wanting to live your life, and that your dad understands that need, even if your mom's wiring disallows such acceptance.

As long as you are being safe in what you do, and respectful of your girl...don't feel bad.

It should be noted that Father's are the same way (if not worse) with their daughters.

The badness of that movie makes me want to punch both Tom Cruise and John Woo repeatedly in the face.

This is another one of those mornings where every sales person at work wants everything right now within the next half hour. I am overloaded, and forcing them to fight amongst each other doesn't work.

Also, you'll get over the guilt fairly quickly after the first or second sleepover.

Maybe there won't be anybody around which needs the super vaccine after the bug has miraculously escaped from the laboratory. Bummer.

Actually, the research was conducted at the behest of the American National Institute of Health, a fact that so far, I haven't found in any single anglo-saxon article on the super-flu, and has been supervised and checked by your national Centre for Disease Control. Secondly, the whole scare that a terrorist could replicate the experiment is being debunked by both the guy who developed the new virus and his direct superior - and being the ones who engineered the gene, I'd say they know what they're talking about.

The crux is that Fouchier (the virologist who developed the superflu) wants to publish his findings in Science and that might be bad news if there really is a doctor Doom somewhere.

Every movie released in 3D also has a 2D counterpart. Production companies are not allowed to ONLY release a film in 3D, as it is against the law since certain people are prevented from viewing 3D due to maladies or the like. So even though a movie touted as 3D has the big push for that format, you can usually find a theater in your city that is playing the regular 2D version.

Is this debate definitely happening? I can't find any credible information that there really is a debate going on about whether to publish it. Is the Netherlands coming into some stick over it or something? I can't imagine they have done anything that radical, the paper will be a logical step in an ongoing line of investigation supported by the global influenza scientific community (hence the NIH and CDC collaborating with the dude with the ferret lab in the Netherlands to produce this data). I moved into flu research a few months back and while I'm admittedly still bringing myself up to speed on the current position, this is NOT news in the flu research community.
