On July 12, 1974, the National Research Act (Pub. L. 93-348) was signed into law, thereby creating the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research. One of the charges to the Commission was to identify the basic ethical principles that should underlie the conduct of biomedical and behavioral research involving human subjects and to develop guidelines which should be followed to assure that such research is conducted in accordance with those principles.
In carrying out the above, the Commission was directed to consider:
(i) the boundaries between biomedical and behavioral research and the accepted and routine practice of medicine;
(ii) the role of assessment of risk-benefit criteria in the determination of the appropriateness of research involving human subjects;
(iii) appropriate guidelines for the selection of human subjects for participation in such research; and
(iv) the nature and definition of informed consent in various research settings.

I do love how this gang rallies together and takes action. Real go-getters.
I actually think that if Stewart's still writing, then he needs to stay shutted up and write -- but in the gung ho spirit, I've already got a few choice words written on punctuation and narrative rhythm that I can contribute.
Or I can try to invent some insane new flag drama. That has uncorked the genie's bottle a couple of times.

[quote]For all specimens, a section of the vertebral column was removed and either frozen in a plastic bag, dried, or
fixed in formalin and preserved in isopropyl alcohol. Vertebrae anterior to or directly under the first dorsal fin
were taken. A piece of the vertebral column was cleaned using a combination of steps. First, the haemal arch,
lateral processes, and most of the connective tissue were removed to expose the surface of the centrum. Then,
several centra were soaked for approximately five minutes in distilled water, followed by soaking in bleach to
further facilitate removal of connective tissue from the centrum. For larger centra, a longer soaking time was
needed, and immersion intervals ranged from one-half hour to six hours. The vertebrae were then soaked in a
concentrated solution of formic acid for two to four minutes to remove any remaining traces of bleach and to
etch the centrum surface.
The primary technique used to estimate age from vertebral centra was x-radiography (Cailliet et al. 1981,
1983a). The cleaned centra were x-rayed whole using a Hewlett-Packard Faxitron Series x-ray system (Model
No. 43805N) with Kodak Industrex M film (Readypack M-2). In one case, the x-radiograph did not produce
clear bands, and the vertebral centra had to be cut in half transversely, extraneous tissue ground away with a
dremel tool, and then x-rayed. In all cases, discernible bands could be distinguished.
A second band enhancement technique was used to corroborate the band counts derived for larger sharks.
This second technique was a modified version (Cailliet et al. 1983a) of the one first described by Von Kossa and
adopted by Stevens (1975). It basically involves replacing calcium salts in the centrum with silver, providing
distinct silver-impregnated bands which become quite dark after illumination under ultraviolet light. These centra were rinsed in distilled water for approximately fifteen minutes, then
immersed in a 1% silver nitrate solution, and immediately placed in a chamber where they were illuminated
by an ultraviolet light source. The length of light exposure ranged from 3 to 15 minutes, depending upon
centrum size. The centrum was then rinsed again in distilled water to remove excess silver nitrate. Vertebrae
were soaked in a 5% sodium thiosulfate solution for two to three minutes, removing excess silver and fixing
the chemical substitution. The final step was storage in 70% isopropyl alcohol.
The x-radiographs were viewed through a dissecting microscope or, for the larger ones, directly over a
fluorescent viewing glass, both with transmitted light. The silver-nitrate-impregnated vertebrae were viewed
directly with illumination focused laterally on the centrum.[/quote]
...........
You know, I actually had to dig a little to find this...it's from a symposium on white sharks, and I kept finding parts that were too interesting...
Personally, I think he's just making us, er....stew....for a while. So we'll all go fucking bananas when he announces the Oysterhead reunion.
(No pressure, STEWART. Seriously. We'd be pretty thrilled with a new symphonic work or soundtrack, promise.)

The everlasting universe of things
Flows through the mind, and rolls its rapid waves,
Now dark--now glittering--now reflecting gloom--
Now lending splendour, where from secret springs
The source of human thought its tribute brings
Of waters,--with a sound but half its own,
Such as a feeble brook will oft assume
In the wild woods, among the mountains lone,
Where waterfalls around it leap for ever,
Where woods and winds contend, and a vast river
Over its rocks ceaselessly bursts and raves.

Like I threaten in another thread .............
My sagging boobs work-out I warned you.........
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSXVpjr6 ... re=related
Oh and I could light up the city of NY
http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chest ... boobs-ipod
A very innovative research experiment examined the possibility of boobs charging iPods. The questions is, could the energy created by bouncing boobs during exercise generate enough electricity to power small gadgets?
TreeHugger and Instructables made a “chest charger” that transforms support bras into energy-generating devices. While engaging in sports causes the most bounce, even the simple act of breathing causes the chest to rise and fall. A women who wears a D-cup bra can have her boobs move as much as 35 cm while exercising if not wearing a restrictive bra, possible enough to conduct sufficient electricity to power an iPod.
Bouncing boobs can be frustrating for women, not only because men ogle them, but because it can be obnoxious for the big-breasted when performing high impact sports. The invention of Bra Power, however, adds a positive spin to this nuisance. Finally!
As for the smaller chested… they’ll have to rely on the less-green, old-fashioned methods of charging.

No fair, Dirty. We're supposed to be posting mind-numbing detailitude, not heartfelt works of art. Right? Right??
Hmmmm. Cause otherwise:
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

I could add my 2 cents about the ergonomics of the new Herman Miller Embody chair, but, it ain't gonna add anything to the argument.
It's not going to happen people. I don't think we'll hear from him until after the book comes out.
I've got real-life shit concerning me more. I've got 2 very sick elderly relatives in hospitals in other states who I'm worried I won't ever see again. I've been to 2 funerals in the past 9 days. That kind of put things in perspective in my book.
Maybe, like Bella said, he's just not that into us (until someone says he can be). <the parenthetical said by Sarcasma>
Byeeee for now.

Whether women are said to be flat-chested or big-busted, ordinary bras fall short when it comes to supporting bouncing breasts, a new study claims.
And during exercise, women's breasts bounce more than previously estimated, moving a vertical distance of up to around eight inches compared with a past maximum measurement of six inches.
The bouncing, in some cases with breasts weighing 20 pounds or more, can prove painful and damaging to the limited natural support system.
