FrankL Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 Fair to moderate, not critical. Still, the guy is 72 and just coming off a broken ankle. Ford has been known for his piloting activities in the aviation community for some time. He's one of the few men alive who can actually afford the hobby, and has been known to assist in search and rescue missions for lost hikers. I hope he wears a fedora on those rescue missions. That would just be tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Man Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 OTOH, the vintage airframe probably did not survive. It sounds as though it can be salvaged, though the damage does look pretty bad. It's probably a good thing that the engine wasn't running--wait let me rephrase. It's probably a good thing that the engine didn't suffer any additional damage as it was not running on impact.

gewing Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 In Documentary on Russian seizure of Crimea, Putin apparently admits that he ordered planning for its seizure weeks before the bogus referendum. http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-31796226 http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/04/17/russia-putin-crimea-idUKL6N0N921H20140417 http://rt.com/news/crimea-defense-russian-soldiers-108/ 20,000 Russian troops in the region during the "referendum" but outside observers?

Sociotard Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 New Vaccine Proven Effective Against Genital And Oral Herpes Viruses Only in mice so far, but here's hoping. That said, if it is effective, I expect lots of pushback against administering it. Nobody wants to give their kid an STD vaccine because nobody wants to imagine their kid having nookie. Oh, the arguments I've gotten in with my relatives about that, WRT the genital wart vaccine. My tin-foil-hat side is pondering how big the herpes treatment business is for big pharma, will they advertise/lobby against it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 When there are vaccinations against venereal diseases, only anti-vaxers will have VD.

Markdoc Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 New Vaccine Proven Effective Against Genital And Oral Herpes Viruses Only in mice so far, but here's hoping. That said, if it is effective, I expect lots of pushback against administering it. Nobody wants to give their kid an STD vaccine because nobody wants to imagine their kid having nookie. Oh, the arguments I've gotten in with my relatives about that, WRT the genital wart vaccine. My tin-foil-hat side is pondering how big the herpes treatment business is for big pharma, will they advertise/lobby against it? Herpes treatment is a pretty big business, but that doesn't matter. Big pharma doesn't really lobby against treatments - that's a loser's business from the start, because no politician wants to be associated with denying treatment (even if the treatment is of dubious value) and the backlash if it was discovered would be severe. And it would be discovered: you can't keep a secret when it involves many people. So you're right - the idea that big pharma lobbies against or suppresses treatment is a tinfoil hat idea that really belongs on the fringe with the home treatment crowds and he people who believe big oil is suppressing the nuclear car that never needs refuelling. If they see an effective treatment, they're all over it, even if it cannibalizes earlier products: pharma products turn over very rapidly and cannibalizing your own sales is an accepted (actually, expected) part of the business. What big pharma does lobby for is the adoption of treatments - again, even if the cost/benefit is sometimes questionable. So if/when this treatment actually becomes a product expect a lot of effort being spent convincing people that they really, really need a vaccination against herpes. cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
