"By the end of the 20th century, most countries used the Celsius scale rather than the Fahrenheit scale. Fahrenheit remains the official scale for the following countries: the Bahamas, Belize, the Cayman Islands, Palau, and the United States and associated territories (Puerto Rico, Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands)."
Yep. Archaic or just retarded?
Dr. Stoyan Sarg already predicted such atomic nuclei shape in his "Basic Structures of Matter - Supergravitation Unified Theory":

BTW here is a better article from Physics World:

For me it would be enough to be just "I'm David Braben, please give me your money"
Edwin Hubble was very sceptical about, so called "Big Bang" theory and claimed that there might be different explanation of redshift effect which he observed.
``Astronomer Edwin P. Hubble says that after a six-year study, evidence does not support what we now call the Big Bang theory, according to the Associated Press. “The universe probably is not exploding but is a quiet, peaceful place and possibly just about infinite in size.''''

ESA Planck space observatory is stationing there already, so buzz off NASA!!
I think somewhere around $60M per piece, maybe even more given very limited availablity of plutonium-238. USA already ceased production of it::
http://www.spacepolitics.com/2011/09/11/senate-energy-bill-includes-no-pu-238-funding/
PU-238 can only be bought from Russians (as it was done in case of Curiosity power source):

Hovewer RTG will be producing heat and 100-200 W of electricity for 100 years.
I would say something like this is needed:

Well. Initially I thought that this article is about Palestinian kids which are expected to construct rockets instead of attending the school.
Isn't T-cells a part of Adaptive immune system?:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_system
As far as I know T-cells are not playing any role in GIFT therapy about which I've described above.
Dr Zheng Cui (Wake Forest University of Medicine in North Carolina) discovered that human innate immune system is very effective at killing a wide range of cancer cells. About 15-40% of human population is naturally cancer resistant. Granulocytes kill 97% of injected cancer cells within 24 hours.
The most important discovery is that such cancer resistance can be transferred via simple blood transfusion. Here are some articles:

Few human patient clinical trials are in progress right now:

And there are some exciting news about patients with 'cancer in full remission':

Bacteriophages are being used to cure such infections in one of polish hospitals. For example MRSA is being cured in 80% of cases.
Therapy is safe and cheap:

Why you are not going to see such treatments in your country?? Phages are not patentable, so no way to earn hard cash here.
I hope Rossi "cold fusion" device will be used as energy source for cars:

Well, what about Cold Fusion reactors??
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2011/mar/17/nuclear-future-beyond-japan/
http://www.nyteknik.se/nyheter/energi_miljo/energi/article3108242.ece
Rossi and Defcalion Technologies are currently constructing 1MW fusion reactor in Greece.
They say it will be ready in October this year and production of 20kW market ready devices should start in 2012.
New factory in Xanthi (100mln euros investment) is expected to manufacture 300.000 such devices per year:

Cost of 1kWh energy production is expected to be within US cent range.
The vaccine ACAM-FLU-A, made by Acambis, should give lifelong protection against all strains of influenza A - the cause of pandemics. It can protect against swine flu (H1N1), avian flu (H5N1) and all other known strains of type A.
Introducing something like this will mean eradication of flu because vaccine targets region of influenza virus which is common for all its types and doesn't change when virus is mutating.
Right now the second phase of clinical testing is performed, first phase has been finished successfully (90% of vaccinated people developed antibodies against flu virus).
See article:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/7171118.stm
There is one strange thing related to this vaccine. In September 2008 Sanofi Pasteur which is one of the biggest vaccine producing companies in the word has acquired Acambis.
Read this:
http://198.73.159.214/sanofi-pasteur2/ImageServlet?imageCode=23340&siteCode=SP_CORP
Wonder if this is connected somehow to development of universal vaccine. Selling of seasonal flu vaccines is main source of income for Sanofi Pasteur, maybe they do not want to introduce ACAM-FLU-A into market because it will mean less money for them? Guess if any such money is worth 500 000 deaths due to influenza every year.
