最新醫學研究發現,在大腦中安裝支撐血管的導管(stent,或稱支架),以避免血管堵塞和二次中風,可能造成的傷害比益處大。該研究顯示,預防二次中風,使用心血管藥物比安裝導管更有效。這項新研究發現,安裝腦血管支架發生二次中風的機會,比不安裝支架者更高。
該研究針對451名病人做實驗,發現安裝導管、同時服用藥物的病人,一個月後的死亡或中風率為14.7%;而僅服用心血管藥物的病人,其死亡或中風率為5.8%。
大多數安裝導管而產生不良副作用者,在手術後一天就發生,所有產生不良副作用者,在手術後六天內發生。
研究人員估計,美國每年有9萬名病人發生腦血管阻塞,研究人員希望用導管改善病人腦血管的順暢。
該研究報告共同撰稿人德狄恩(Colin Derdeyn)表示,研究人員雖然對於腦血管支架和療效感到失望,但對心血管藥物的良好療效,更加肯定。德狄恩是聖路易華盛頓大學的腦外科神經專家。
德狄恩表示,治療腦血管堵塞的良藥包括稀釋血液的阿斯匹靈和Plavix,以及確實用藥控制膽固醇、高血壓和糖尿病,避免中風。
此研究報告公布於「新英格蘭醫學期刊」(New Engliand Journal of Medicine)。
食品暨藥物管理局(FDA)2005年8月批准腦血管支架的使用。南卡州醫學院齊莫維茲(Marc Chimowitz)表示,過去六年,數千名病人已安裝該支架。安裝這種支架和手術費,私人健保公司支付的費用為2萬1000元。

太空人銳減 NASA發展受限

法新社華盛頓7日電
September 08, 2011 06:00 AM 
 
一個非營利的科技政策顧問組織7日發表報告說,美國沒有足夠的太空人,不能滿足未來幾年內不斷變化的載人太空飛行需求。
「全國研究委員會」(National Research Council)的報告指出,美國太空人隊伍的萎縮,對美國在載人太空飛行的投資帶來風險,美國航空暨太空總署(NASA)應採取措施,擴大太空人隊伍。

該委員會共同主席、前NASA副署長、指揮三次太空梭飛行的格雷戈里(Frederick Gregory)表示﹕「從供應鏈角度看,太空人的選拔和訓練,對人員的短缺非常敏感。針對具體任務和角色進行訓練的太空人,不能輕易互換。」

在太空梭世代高峰期的1999年,國際太空站正在修建期間,NASA保持著一支150名太空人的隊伍。但到2011年,隨著太空梭計畫在實施30年之後結束,美國太空人數減少到61人,使俄羅斯成為唯一有能力載人去國際太空站的國家。

NASA已經決定,在2016年之前,最少要保持55至60名現役美國太空人,屆時民營工業界可能已測試一種新型的美國太空船,可再度載人進入太空。至於載人去火星或小行星等深度太空飛行任務,將是2025年以後的事情。

完成這些太空任務需要培訓更多太空人,讓太空人在太空停留更長時間,接受更多太空輻射。此外,還存在太空人生病或疲倦的較大風險,可能導致太空人提前退休或無法完成未來飛行任務。該委員會說,雖然未來數年內,每年平均參加飛行的美國太空人數,將從太空梭高峰時期的28人減少至六人,美國仍需要保持較多太空人。

致命巴貝氏蟲 輸血也會感染

編譯中心綜合7日電

聯邦疾病防治中心(CDC)最新研究顯示,一種在蜱蟲(Tick)身上會造成類似瘧疾病情、危及人體生命的寄生蟲,比醫學界認知的傳染程度更嚴重,甚至經由輸血亦會感染。今日美國報報導,CDC研究人員在報告中指出,自2000年以來,已有至少122人被這種寄生蟲感染。

這項研究發現並不意味輸血很危險,而在讓醫師了解這種在輸血前無法以目視檢查的疾病。
CDC寄生蟲疾病專家赫華德(Barbara Herwaldt)表示:「民眾不用擔心輸血,這種感染的可能性很低,但我們希望所有人都能了解其重要性,因為這種疾病會致命,但亦能治療。」
研究人員指出,這種名為巴貝氏蟲(babesia)的寄生蟲,會造成巴貝斯蟲症((Babesiosis),其傳播媒介主要是鹿身上的黑腳蜱蟲(black-legged tick)。

人類在感染巴貝氏蟲後,可能出現難以查覺的輕微症狀或是嚴重病情。該寄生蟲可侵入紅血球,症狀包括發燒、風寒和肌肉疼痛等;併發症則包括血球破壞、器官衰竭,以及導致死亡。

醫學界特別擔憂輸血感染巴貝氏蟲的病例,可能不斷增加,因為這類病例近年不僅在各個季節均發生,甚至過去並無黑腳蜱蟲傳播巴貝氏蟲病例的州,亦傳出病例。
赫華德表示,聯邦食品暨藥物管理局(FDA)並未規定在血液供應中必須進行寄生蟲檢驗,因此,現在捐血中心是以詢問方式,以確認捐血人是否患有類似感冒的疾病或曾遭蜱蟲叮咬。目前已有一些業者致力建立篩檢方式。

全球主義,火星來的小綠人,外星攻擊地球的可能性

space invasion
By Keith Johnson -
With Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden dead and Muammar Qadaffi destined to meet a similar fate, the “war on terror” is in desperate need of a new poster child. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Iran have been painted as a possible candidate, but most of the world knows that “the threat from Iran” is simply U.S. and Israeli propaganda. So is there anyone left on Earth who can assume that frightening role, or will the powers that be now point to the stars to identify the whereabouts of their next manufactured villain?
Well, as ridiculous as it sounds, the mainstream media has been playing up the idea that an alien invasion from outer space is not only plausible, but might even be inevitable. Not to worry though, according to some globalist mouthpieces. That threat might turn out to be a blessing in disguise.
During a recent appearance on television news network CNN with Fareed Zakaria, Nobel Prize winning economist Paul Krugman suggested that a showdown with hostile life forms could be a good thing for the U.S. economy. He said: “If we discovered that space aliens were planning to attack and we needed a massive buildup to counter the space alien threat, and inflation and budget deficits took secondary place, this slump would be over in 18 months.”
The space alien theme came up again on a segment of Dylan Ratigan’s MSNBC television show where the topic was explored with guest Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist who once defined terrorists as those who oppose world government.
Kaku claimed that NASA’s Kepler satellites have identified 50 planets that are “very much Earth-like.” Though he believes that most of the life forms on these planets would probably be nothing more than basic microbial germs, he doesn’t discount the possibility that a few could be home to intelligent beings—perhaps even more advanced than here on Earth—and that some of them could be hostile.
“The universe is 13.7 billion years old,” says Kaku. “It’s possible they have weapons we can’t even conceive of.”
Sounding like a globalist himself, Ratigan asked Kaku if the threat of an alien invasion could lead to a form of global governance in order to deal with things like climate change, global finance and the sovereignty of individual nations.
Smiling like the cat that ate the canary, Kaku replied by referencing a quote by Ronald Reagan, who in 1985 told the Soviet Union’s Mikhail Gorbachev: “I occasionally think how quickly our differences, worldwide, would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.”
Then Kaku added: “If we are faced with a common enemy in outer space, it would indeed help to unite the Earth just the way Ronald Reagan said.”
Kaku’s dialogue is classic New World Order rhetoric. In 1993, the Club of Rome published The First Global Revolution that states: “In searching for a new enemy to unite us, we came up with the idea that pollution, the threat of global warming, water shortages, famine and the like would fit the bill.”
Thanks in large part to the Climategate scandal of 2009, where a number of scientists were outed for hyping the global warming threat,more people are starting to realize that global warming is nothing more than a hoax, and public support for globalist efforts to curb carbon emissions is on the wane. So is the NWO crowd now resorting to desperate measures—like hyping the threat of an alien invasion—to put their agenda back on course?
In addition to using the recent propaganda about an alien invasion as a pretext to reinvigorate the global warming movement, it could also serve a dual purpose by rallying American support for weaponizing space.
For over a year, covert launchings of military spacecraft have received almost no press at all. Since early 2010, the U.S. has sent two X-37B robotic planes into orbit. Though the Air Force flatly denies that this marks the beginning of space weaponization, some prominent Russians adamantly disagree.
According to South Africa’s Times Live, former Russian Air Force commander Anatoly Kornukov was furious upon learning of the X-37B’s launch in March 2010.
Kornukov said the spacecraft would significantly increase U.S. fighting power and demonstrates that America has ambitions to reach space and threaten Russia.
“The U.S. has completely spat on calls from Russia and the world to abandon plans for the deployment of weapons in space,” Kornukov said. “The aggressors from space could turn Russia into something like Iraq or Yugoslavia.”

巨大的混合飛船取得第一張新重型飛船設計商業合同

Discovery Air Innovations (DAI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Discovery Air Inc. and Hybrid Air Vehicles Limited (HAV) have signed an agreement under which DAI will be the first customer for HAV’s Commercial Heavy Lift program.

Credit: Hybrid Air

Hybrid Air Vehicles Ltd is a pioneer and world leader in the design, manufacture and support of innovative Lighter-Than-Air (LTA) aircraft products, known as Hybrid Air Vehicles. The company has brought together a long legacy of LTA design and delivery experience and combined it with modern technologies to create a major new, cost effective, low carbon emission aerospace business, focusing initially on the surveillance and heavy lift markets.

Based in Cranfield, UK, the HAV team has more than 1,000 years of combined aerospace experience in building and certifying LTA aircraft. Recent improvements in technology, such as advanced fabrics, control technology and simulation have enabled the team to build a hybrid air vehicle that has ignificant advantages over the original airship concept.

The “hybrid” principle utilizes both aerodynamics an lighter-than-air technology to generate lift - about 60% of the lift is aerostatic (from helium buoyancy) and the remaining 40% is aerodynamic, generated from the vehicle’s shape.

Additionally, powered lift is used during take-off and landing by vectoring the thrust from four ducted propulsors. The result is a range of revolutionary products with global market potential. In 2010, partnering with Northrop Grumman, HAV Ltd. won a $517 million U.S. Army contract to develop the Long Endurance Multi-intelligence Vehicle (LEMV) for deployment into theatre in 2012. This vehicle is able to operate above 20,000 feet (MSL) with up to 21-days endurance.

Discovery Air is a specialty aviation company based in Canada, with operations around the world. Their service offering includes cargo transport, rotary wing, fire services, logistics and military aviation services. DAI President, Paul Bouchard, has stated “HAV’s heavy lift and cargo market will be a tremendous addition to our range of aviation services.

With a cargo capacity of 50 tonnes at speeds up to 100 knots (185 km/h), we believe this capability will enable economic development of remote, stranded resources with a low environmental impact. The ability to deliver cargo point-to-point without the need for a runway, will mean the infrastructure costs of our clients are reduced substantially.”

HAV’s heavy lift and cargo vehicles have a payload capacity ranging from 20 to 200 tonnes, with future development potential of up to 1,000 tonnes. The helium-filled hull creates aerodynamic lift, which when combined with the vectored thrust engines enables vertical takeoff / landing (VTOL), as well as precision hover. The hovercraft landing system’s “suck down” allows for multi-surface operation and load transfer - on land, water, ice and snow.

The hybrid air vehicle is also one of the most environmentally-friendly modes of transport. Its flexibility reduces or eliminates transshipments and fuel consumption is equally impressive, saving up to 75% on equivalent payload alternatives. The ability to launch, land and load from gravel airstrips, water, snow or ice surfaces with no preparation or specialist handling equipment saves end-users both time and investment in infrastructure. Ground loading offers roll-on-roll-off capability, while the precision hover allows pick-up and delivery of cargo from ships or other austere locations.

The Heavy Lift Programme is currently in its detailed design phase, with construction planned for 2012. The first vehicle is scheduled to enter commercial service in 2014.

This is the HAV prototype Hybrid Airship. That means it's slightly heavier than air and it uses lift generated by forward motion to keep it in the air. This makes it much easier to handle when it's on the ground. The Lockheed P-791 is similar to this in concept but appears to not be so well designed aerodynamically.


HAV are one of the bidders for the Pentagon's "Long Endurance Surveillance Vehicle" (LEMV).

Fox News 宣傳人工影響天氣,它仍然是一個陰謀論嗎?

By Madison Ruppert
Editor of End the Lie



Apparently weather modification is only a conspiracy theory when the alternative media talks about it, even when the existence of the practice is completely and totally irrefutable.
When we discuss weather modification (also known as geoengineering) and associated projects it is a paranoid conspiracy theory. When Murdoch-owned Fox News talks about it, it is a legitimate choice to help stem the tide of wildfires sweeping the state of Texas.

As the video reveals, weather modification is nothing new. The woman featured in the clip mentions that the state of Texas stopped being able to match funds for the program in 2002, meaning that the program is at least 8-9 years old.
In reality, weather modification has been in use for decades, going all the way back to the Vietnam War with a U.S. military cloud seeding project known as Operation Popeye, Project Popeye, Motorpool, and Intermediary-Compatriot.

The projects ran from 1966 to 1972 and used the exact same technology mentioned in the Fox News video: silver iodide. This technology worked as planned all the way back in the 60s, so hearing people dispute the reality of weather modification in modern times is laughable at best.
It is interesting to see how vehemently the mainstream corporate controlled media denies the existence of weather modification, especially in the form of so-called “chemtrails”.

Even when the same news channels will cover weather modification and even go so far as to praise its efficacy, they still have the gall to attempt to call chemtrails a conspiracy theory.
How can any news outlet or self-respecting journalist look at a plane engaging in cloud seeding with silver iodide, an irrefutable fact, and then in the same breath claim that weather modification and chemtrails are a conspiracy theory?

A great example of such Orwellian doublethink can be seen in the Wikipedia article devoted to weather modification.
Under the heading of “conspiracy theories” it is mentioned that so-called conspiracy theorists “question the possibility of using weather control as a weapon”.
Yet, Operation Popeye was a real project which indeed used weather modification as a weapon against the Vietnamese. This is clearly not a conspiracy theory. There is no theory involved in stating an irrefutable fact.
Will the mainstream media stop pretending it is a paranoid delusion to acknowledge a fact? Or, will they continue to systematically deceive and confuse the American public? Unfortunately, I think it is the latter.

Fox News advocating weather modification; is it still a conspiracy theory? is a post from: End the Lie - Independent News | Alternative News Daily

歐盟法院對基因改造的污染作出規管, 開始追究生物技術責任

Rady Ananda, Contributing Writer
Activist Post

On Sept. 6, the European Union’s top court paved the way for farmers and beekeepers to recoup losses when their crops or honey become genetically contaminated from neighboring GM fields.

The European Court of Justice ruled that all food products containing GMOs – whether intentional or not – must undergo an approval process.

This marks a much stricter view than that being pushed by European Union Commissioner for health and consumer affairs, John Dalli, who wants no regulation of foods genetically contaminated “by accident,” a ludicrous idea given that coexistence ensures genetic contamination.


At the center of the dispute is Bavarian beekeeper Karl Heinz Bablok who joined with several others in suing the state when its research plots of Monsanto’s GM corn, MON 810, contaminated his honey.

In 2008, an administrative court banned Bablok from selling or giving away that honey. But in a bizarre turn, the Augsburg court also ruled that beekeepers have no claim to protection against the growing of GM crops. They immediately filed a new lawsuit. [1]

Discussing today’s ruling, attorneys for the beekeepers noted that they may now have “a claim for damages against a farmer if MON 810 pollen from his cultivation gets into their honey.” [2]

Attorneys Dr Achim Willand and Dr Georg Buchholz explained:

“If the beekeeper can no longer sell his honey, this is considered a major impairment causing a claim for damage. If the beekeeper moves his bees in order to prevent this impairment, it is also possible that the cultivator is liable for the additional work and expense of the beekeeper.”

They added that the “decision is important not only for beekeeping, but in general for the production of food and feed, as well as for trade.”

The new ruling will also apply to “imports containing traces of material from genetically modified crops that don’t have sufficient approval within the EU,” they said.

The European Court of Justice only “interprets EU law and does not settle the dispute itself,” notes Inf’OGM, a French group that maintains a neutral position on GMOs. Member states like Germany, France and Spain can apply the ruling however they deem fit in particular cases of genetic contamination. [3]

In describing the questions before the court, Inf’OGM explained that Monsanto failed to seek approval for genetically modified pollen. Instead, MON 810 approval only covers flour, gluten, semolina, starch, glucose and corn oil.

MON 810 approval is currently under reconsideration. It has been linked to organ damage in test animals [4] and its approval may be withdrawn. Until last year, it was the only GM crop approved for cultivation in the EU, although a total of 40 GMO food and feed products have been approved for sale. [5]

One of Commissioner Dalli’s first acts after taking office in 2010 was to lift the 13-year ban on BASF’s GM potato, Amflora. Sweden, Germany and the Czech Republic took the bait and immediately suffered from 47 contamination events. [6]

Today’s ruling also overturns the court’s Advocate General recommendation this February which found that genetic material inadvertently transferred from GM corn to other living organisms “is no longer viable and is thus infertile, is not a living organism and, therefore, cannot be regarded as a GMO.” [7]

In that same recommendation, however, the AG maintained that any products containing GMOs should be regulated.

Thijs Etty, a transnational environmental lawyer specializing in biotechnology and EU law, told Food Freedom, “The Court’s ruling underscores the EU’s zero-tolerance stance towards non-authorized GMOs, and signals a sensitive loss for Monsanto and the EU Commission.”

Etty explained that the EU Commission “has been working hard to loosen if not abandon the zero-tolerance policy,” citing a recent regulation “allowing ‘low level presence’ of non-authorized GMOs in feed imports.”

Today’s ruling puts that new regulation into question.

GMO opponents won a brief reprieve last year when Commissioner Dalli’s initial proposal to radically overhaul existing GM approval rules was later rebuked. The controversial proposal was dropped after the European Commission’s legal counsel determined the new rules violated EU and international trade laws. [8]

Of note, the European Food Safety Authority, which rules on GMO safety, has been under fire for hiring members with financial interests in the biotech industry. EFSA chair Diana Banati resigned last year after it was revealed she served as a consultant to biotech corporations including Monsanto, Bayer and BASF. [9]

Four other EFSA board members also have substantial ties to the food industry. One has financial interests in the GM seed industry (Piet Vanthemsche) and another is a chief lobbyist for the German food industry (Matthias Horst). Milan Kovác and Jirí Ruprich both have links to food industry bodies, EFSA admitted. [10]

“Today’s decision is an important victory for beekeepers, but also GMO-opponents and environmental NGOs,” concluded Etty.

But it’s not a complete victory. Though not as bad as in the U.S., GMO label laws still leave European consumers in the dark since meat, milk and eggs from animals fed GM feed are exempt, which bulldozes consumers into supporting the biotech industry.

流感針革命 改採皮下注射

美聯社華盛頓5日電
September 06, 2011 06:00 AM
流感季又來臨,今年有些幸運民眾在接種流感疫苗時,將會見到不再嚇人的注射針頭。衛生當局並呼籲民眾每年均應接種流感疫苗。
第一種採用「皮下注射」的流感疫苗將在今秋上市,這種超短的注射針頭,可取代傳統「肌肉注射」的一吋長針頭,但現階段新疫苗僅限成年人,兒童使用的劑量尚待當局進行研究。

今年將製造1億6600萬劑流感疫苗。另有兩種接種方式,包括老年人適用的特別高劑量注射,以及噴鼻式疫苗。
衛生當局指出,目前最大問題在於民眾是否會接種疫苗。由於流感病毒株不斷演變,通常每年的疫苗會與前一年不同。今年的疫苗則與去年相同,因為去年冬季讓許多人致病的三種流感病毒株,至今仍在傳染。

民眾在接種疫苗後,免疫能力在一年內的衰退程度,雖然也與年齡和全身的健康有關,但科學家至今尚無定論。不過,聯邦衛生官員和美國小兒科學會(AAP)表示,民眾今年仍應接種疫苗,此舉為確保免疫系統足以提供最佳保護的唯一方法。

聯邦疾病防治中心(CDC)專家麗莎‧葛洛伯斯柯夫(Lisa Grobskopf)表示:「民眾不能依賴去年施打的疫苗提供保護至第二年。」專家指出,除了六個月以下嬰兒或對蛋類有嚴重過敏者之外,事實上每位民眾每年都應接種流感疫苗。

美國提升軍事基地警戒級別防恐怖襲擊

http://news.sina.com   2011年09月07日 13:31   中國新聞網

中新社華盛頓9月7日電 (記者 吳慶才)美國國防部7日宣佈全面提升其國內軍事基地的警戒級別,以防止恐怖分子借“9·11”十周年之機發動恐怖襲擊。

  這項措施旨在保護包括五角大樓在內的美國國內軍事設施的安全,其生效日期從9月7日開始一直延續到9月11日十周年紀念日當天。

美國國防部沒有提及該措施是否適用於美國的海外軍事基地,一名發言人表示,美國海外的軍事基地目前已經在一個更高的安全級別上運轉。

五角大樓發言人喬治·利特爾表示,这只是一項謹慎的、預防性的措施,不是針對任何特定的威脅。

據報道,今年5月美軍擊斃基地組織頭目本·拉登後從其住處搜集到的檔案顯示,拉登對在“9·11”十周年之際發動對美國的恐怖襲擊表現出持久的興趣。

對此,利特爾證實,今年5月美軍從拉登住處搜集到的檔案中確有提到“9·11”十周年,不過他也強調,這並不表明在十周年紀念日前後存在任何具體或可信的威脅。

9月2日,美國國務院也曾發布“全球旅行警報”,呼籲在國外生活或旅行的美國人保持警惕。該警報的有效期一直持續到明年1月2日。

美國國務院表示,雖然沒有發現任何具體的威脅,但基地組織及其分支機構已經顯示出對美國及其利益發動襲擊的意圖和能力。

隨着“9·11”十周年紀念日臨近,美國各地“草木皆兵”,機場、車站等主要設施已全面加強安保,美國總統國土安全與反恐顧問布倫南8月31日說,美國正從各種角度觀察“9·11”十周年來臨之際可能發生恐怖襲擊的蛛絲馬跡。

共和黨總統初選參選人羅穆尼6日在北拉斯維加斯推出重振經濟方案,宣稱若是當選總統,第一天上任就會終結歐巴馬總統的健保法案,並制裁中國干預人民幣升值。(Getty Images)
標榜為美國執行長的共和黨總統參選人羅穆尼(Mitt Romney),在歐巴馬即將公布就業計畫之前,6日率先公布他針對創造工作的全面經濟計畫,他聲稱在上任第一天,就會提出制裁中國操控人民幣匯率的作法。領先聲勢被德州州長培瑞(Rick Perry)超前的前麻州州長羅穆尼,6日在內華達州的演說中公布59項經濟計畫;他希望藉此把自己塑造成對就業成長具有全面規畫的共和黨總統參選人。
羅穆尼把他的計畫形容為降低美國失業率的大膽願景,除了提出將減少對企業的規範和減稅、削減工會影響力,並表示美國應對中國更加強硬。
羅穆尼承諾他在上任第一天,會立刻發布五項行政命令,其中包括針對中國進口產品的反補貼稅,如果中國未儘速讓人民幣採取浮動匯率。
羅穆尼指出,他將制裁中國刻意壓低人民幣匯率,讓產品更容易銷往海外市場的作法。他說:「我將會打擊騙子,而中國是其中最糟糕的例子。他們一直操控人民幣,保持中國產品人為控制的低廉價格。」
歐巴馬政府雖然也對中國的匯率政策抱怨不斷,但該議題並未列為中美兩國當前關係的優先議題。不過,羅穆尼指出:「我會把中國列為操控匯率的國家,並追查他們竊取我們的智慧財產權。」
另外,羅穆尼在這項經濟計畫也表示將削減聯邦開支、擴大貿易協定,以及加強開採國內能源。
