see a cure for HIV in my lifetime
Delta 32 mutation 4 weeks ago

There is a company (Sangamo Biosciences) that is in phase one of a study. Here is the link. In normal terms if you can make a t-cell in a human body become the delta 32 mutation t cell the t cell will destroy the virus. The virus (HIV) cannot infect the white blood cells with the delta 32 mutation.

The one article that sums up everything:

Boycott baseball for one year
09 'Roids 4 months ago

Too many players are abusing steroids, I am going to do something else this summer. The league does not seem to have a clear policy or direction on dealing with the performance enhancing drugs. So I write some letters, not watch, not go to games and to the best of my ability stop buying products that endorse baseball, or sponsor MLB. I might even send all my baseball stuff to the commissioner’s office or Goodwill. Here is the address:

Major League Baseball
Contact Information
The Office of the Commissioner of Baseball
245 Park Ave., 31st floor New York, NY 10167
Phone (212) 931-7800
Website: www.mlb.com

Enough is enough. Salary caps. Steroid testing period.

get a masters degree
Graduate School 7 months ago

You are going to do all the work. So pick a school that will get you a degree. It costs a lot of money. It will eat your Saturdays. It will make you productive. It will make you grow. You have to take a step and do it. Master’s in Education at Plymouth State University August 2007.
