I like almost nothing better than seeing someone’s passion come out through a response to another blogger’s post. You know those emails. The ones that just send your mind on a tangent, get your blood boiling, and your fingers typing fast, but your brain going faster.
The bullet sneaked through a very small gap in the axillary (armpit) area of his body armor. A tiny hole,” he pecked out on a Dell laptop from an Army hospital in Mosul, Iraq. “He arrived unconscious with no vital signs. Everyone tried but his blood was somewhere else A sniper shot. An unlucky shot. A cheap shot. Shot through the heart and under the flag.
This is why I still wear a uniform.

German scientists say that work on mice showed that tattooing was a more effective way to deliver a new generation of experimental DNA vaccines than standard injections into muscle.
Right on! I knew my tattoos were good for something. Uhhhh, that is what I am telling my mom at least!

HELSINKI (Reuters) - Scientists in Finland said they had replaced a 65-year-old patient’s upper jaw with a bone transplant cultivated from stem cells isolated from his own fatty tissue and grown inside his abdomen.
Researchers said on Friday the breakthrough opened up new ways to treat severe tissue damage and made the prospect of custom-made living spares parts for humans a step closer to reality.
The possibilities this raises are exciting. Too bad the stem cell controversy continues to rage.
Placing a couple of drops of liquid under the tongue gets the vaccine directly to mucus membranes and prompts a response both in mucus tissues throughout the body as well as in the immune system itself, the researchers said.
“These studies provide a basis for further human testing of this alternative form of needle-free vaccination. Aside from its convenience, sublingual vaccination appears to disseminate immunity to a broader range of organs than the classical routes of injecting or ingesting vaccines,” said Dr. Cecil Czerkinsky, deputy director-general for laboratory science at the Institute.
So many people refuse to get their flu shot every year (to include myself until this year) giving the excuse that it doesn’t work, or it will make them sick.
How many people really refuse because they are afraid of being stuck with a needle??
