Researchers at Wuhan University, National Research Council of Canada and the Center for Functional Genomics at the University at Albany have been working together to create GMO rice that contains human blood protein chemically identical to human serum albumin. This protein is normally obtained by extracting it from blood donors. It is then used to treat patients with burns and liver disease, but blood donors can now be bypassed with a GMO synthetic version.

Researchers at the University of Abertay Dundee and the Scottish Police Services Authority have been able to devise a method for lifting fingerprints from articles of clothing.

Refining an existing technique that’s been used to successfully recover print detail from smooth objects such as glass and plastic, forensic scientists have managed to create a kind of photo negative of fingerprint impressions on fabric. It’s a bit hit and miss at the moment, but even when clear ridge detail isn’t retrieved, the technique could still prove useful to investigators looking for other evidence.

The researchers used a method known as vacuum metal deposition that’s already been used to recover print detail on smooth surfaces like carrier bags, plastics and glass since the 1970s, but has not previously been applied to fingerprint detection on fabrics.

The fabric is placed in a vacuum chamber. Gold is heated and evaporated and spread in a fine layer over the fabric. Heated zinc is then applied, which attaches to the gold layer where the fabric has no fingerprints, leaving the original fabric to show through where contact has been made.

The success rate for recovery is still quite low, with only around 20 percent of the public said to consistently leave good ridge detail or indicate target areas for DNA collection due to the presence of sweat. Folks who have drier skin prove to be poor donors, but the technique could still lead investigators to target areas of clothing for DNA procurement and may reveal other useful facts, such as the shape of a hand or an indication of whether a victim was pushed or grabbed.

What you end up with is a type of photographic negative. Research is still in the early stages so expect more news on the matter as the researchers refine their technique.

I have reported in the past that the HPV vaccine seemed wholly unnecessary, especially given the face that there was little evidence that the vaccine worked and it was rushed through testing. Now, a new report claims that not only is it unnecessary, it might even cause the cancer it’s meant to prevent.

The FDA report and the petition [pdf] for reclassification of the HPV vaccine reveals some interesting facts, including the fact that HPV might actually increase the risk of precancerous lesions by 44.6%, HPV is not the cause of cervical cancer, and that HPV is mostly self-limiting and causes no real danger to women.

The FDA news release of March 31, 2003 acknowledges that “most infections (by HPV) are short-lived and not associated with cervical cancer”, in recognition of the advances in medical science and technology since 1988. In other words, since 2003 the scientific staff of the FDA no longer considers HPV infection to be a high-risk disease when writing educational materials for the general public whereas the regulatory arm of the agency is still bound by the old classification scheme that had placed HPV test as a test to stratify risk for cervical cancer in regulating the industry.

This proves that the FDA knew, at least as far back as 2003, that HPV did not cause cervical cancer, yet they marketed the vaccine as such.

It is difficult to take an honest look at this scientific evidence and the statements made by the FDA and not come to the conclusion that mandatory Gardasil vaccination policies being pushed across U.S. states right now are based on something other than science.

The prevailing theories are financial gains for pharmaceutical companies and those that support them, a conspiracy to poison people, getting people used to submitting to whatever the government tells them is for the greater good. While the two conspiracy ideas could be plausible, I tend to lead towards greed as it’s usually the true reason people do these sorts of things.

NaturalNews does a great job of detailing all the dirty deeds that have gone on behind the scenes, including the fact that the Gardisil vaccine can cause precancerous lesions and it does more harm than good. Their report, at 9 pages, is long, but it’s well worth the read, especially if you have young women in your family who might be forced to take this vaccine.

It appears that BP is continuing to lie to the people, particularly about the dispersant they used. I suppose we’ll have to wait and see if the anger and doubt of the people turns into health issues and a mass migration out of the area. It will be years before we truly know the impact on the gulf.

Meanwhile, NOAA Administrator, Dr. Jane Lubchenco, is telling us that the fish in the gulf are safe to eat. Apparently, Dr. Lubchenco needs to go back and crack open a biology textbook before she can even think that Americans will swallow this line of bunk.
