All those pensions and retirement funds down the drain!
I cannot believe the rapid rate that Americans are losing their savings and retirement funds. It makes me mad United Airlines was allowed to scrap their guarantee of a pension fund.
It is not illegal but it is a travesty.
There is a rumor of a buyer standing in the wings. I do not understand how you rate being forgiven that promise. I do not understand how the government will come up with it either. Of course they cannot promise, may pay pennys on the dollar if that.
Between all the bankruptcies , corruption, stock market shenanigans and plain old embezzlement and misaaproprations it is a wonder there are very many real funds left at all.
I liked seeing a wriiten appraisal about the Social Sscurity "fund" and how if it were to be an actual trust fund then it would be illegal to drain it.

These are news items from the top research hospital on asthma and immunology. I have been their research subject before
Great place!
http://www.nationaljewish.org/news/melatonin.html
Caution about how melatonin worsens asthma.
I am always concerned about the reaction of natural remedies.
I believe they have their place but when combined with possibly fatal illnesses and other medications more care and research is needed.

The protien flap is still being looked at.
It is a good flap discovery - seems to be building a history and more interest to many researchers of immune problems.
***
Kea if you read this ;
Notice the art in the body photos.
It was a while back - we discussed making art of the immune system along with using it for visualization methods. These are good examples.
Last but not least -
I meant to post this recently when there was a help line for quitting smoking posted by somebody else.
http://www.cdphe.state.co.us/pp/tobacco/quitline.asp
It is being stated that the Colorado quitline ups chances by as much as one third.
It has a good reputation, this same Hospital above praised of it and are recommending it for online support.

Nepotism and Dynasty
Posted May 4, 2005
I thought this was an interesting article.
Gave me new things to ponder.
This is a quote from the article.
Science-fiction novelist Jerry Pournelle said, "Politicians look to the next election. Statesmen may look to the next generation; but monarchs must look to the next generation." Rather than laying waste to their realms, the dynastic system gives kings incentive to cultivate their domains well so their children can inherit a prosperous and content land.
