She's just been over in China
advising them on how to set up a neonatal screening lab and the IAEA
is
hiring her to set up another lab in the Philippines.

What does the International Atomic Energy Agency have to do with neonate
screenings? Just curious.

Radioisotope assay techniques IIRC. They fund quite a bit of research
into uses of radioactive substances. I'm just a computer hacker, not a
biochemist or geneticist. If you really want to know I'll ask my wife.
Drop me a line at my email addy with a genuine return address and I'l
get back to you. Got an icebreaker coming into port in a couple days so
I'm about to be very busy for a bit.

That pretty well answers my question, Pete. I was just curious. I have to
admit that I'm surprised to learn that radioisotopic substances are used
with neonates. Traditionally that was a no-no. Perhaps the isotopic
degradation levels are low enough now as to be inconsequential to
rapidly-growing cells. Interesting.

I think you've got it backwards... nothing new there. This gay bashing
stuff is from filthy slime like Scotty and Horass.

You and Bubbles seem to carry your weight in that department. Amusingly,
I've always thought that those who bash gays generally are insecure about
their own sexuality. Got any skeletons in that closet, Jon?

Hardly. You should talk to Scoots and Joey. They seem to be interested
in each other on a regular basis. I'm sure you and Horass are
jealous.

There you go folks. He was sympathetic to the SLA, a bunch of
murdering *******s. And, he still laughs about it.

To the contrary, Jon. I've believed from the inception that you're really a
decent sort. You, like virtually anyone, can become vitriolic about
politics when pressed. BB, OTOH, is redundantly obnoxious and obtuse. To
use the after-sailing, discussions-at-the-bar analogy, you're just an ardent
advocate of your beliefs. So am I. BB is the club drunk who gets loud,
belligerent, and gratuitously abusive. You and I could sit and drink and
discuss various things. He'd get thrown out of the bar.

I am a decent sort, but I will not put up with people like yourself,
Joe, Scoots, and Dave the Poodle, and BushCo, who lie about their
compassion.

Say what? Has there been a change in the universe for 'perhaps
the isotopic degradation levels are low enough now', ie to have
reduced?? Far as I was aware, specific isotopes still decay at
the rates those isotopes have always decayed at. If not, we're
all in dire, dire trouble.

OK, change that to ''pointy white hood''.

I'm pretty sure that ''someone wearing a white hood'' is on the
'profile list'.

Isn't there a sect of monks that wears white instead of the
traditional
brown or, in the case of Bhuddists, saffron? Perhaps the ropes and
torches
are the chief giveaway?

. . . and the tendency to refer to everyone outside of themselves as "boy?"

Um, Jon, would you care to enlighten us as to exactly whom the SLA murdered?

Add Patty Hearst and the SLA.

Yeah, right. Patty and the Simbionese Liberation Army hijacked
aircraft
regularly.

Nah, just planted bombs......

My background in nuclear physics is limited, but I was under the impression
that isotopic substances can be manipulated in constituency sufficiently to
alter the "hotness" as required. Perhaps decay rate is not the appropriate
term.
