U.S. Senate Committee hearing on NASA budget and space program By Amanda Doyle, 12 March 2012 Neil deGrasse Tyson gives evidence to the U.S. Senate Committee March 7 2012 U.S. Senate Committee hears submissions on NASA's 2013 budget request & U.S. space program The U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation has been hearing submissions regarding NASA's 2013 budget request and on the priorities, plans and progress of the U.S. space program. Witnesses appearing before the Committee on March 7 included Charles F Bolden Jr, NASA's Administrator, and Dr Neil deGrasse Tyson, an astrophysicist and well known commentator on space exploration. Bolden, who flew on four space shuttle missions after a career in the Marine Corps, was appointed to lead NASA in 2009 after being nominated by President Obama. Administrator Bolden outlined the space agency's achievements in 2011 and updated the Committee on the status of current missions. His statement outlined how the requested budget of $17.7 billion for 2013 would be allocated and concluded by stating: "NASA's FY 2013 budget request of $17.7 billion represents a substantial investment in a balanced program of science, exploration, technology and aeronautics research. Despite the constrained budget environment facing the Nation, this request supports a robust space program that keeps us on a path to achieving a truly audacious set of goals. NASA is working to send humans to an asteroid and ultimately to Mars, to observe the first galaxies form, and to expand the productivity of humanity's only permanently-crewed space station. We are making air travel safer and more efficient, learning to live and work in space, and developing the critical technologies to achieve these goals. The coming year will include the first commercial cargo flights to the ISS, a nuclear powered robot the size of a small car landing on the surface of Mars, and the launch of the Nation's next land observing satellit

ETHICS AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHA Selective Chronology with References A summary overview in adapted bibliographical essay format of phases in the development of collective role responsibility for research integrity.  This overview, largely prescinds from the issue of human subjects research, which has its own special history. 1970sRise of Research Ethics Concerns in the United States 1974 William Summerlin (Sloan-Kettering Institute) "painted mice" case.  See Joseph R. Hixson, The Patchwork Mouse (Garden City, NY: Doubleday, 1976). Scientific concerns about the dangers of recombinant DNA research lead to a shortterm voluntary suspension of such work and an Asilomar, CA, conference to develop safety guidelines. American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the American Bar Association (ABA) jointly establish the National Conference of Lawyers and Scientists (NCLS). 1975 John T. Edsall et al. report on "Scientific Freedom and Responsibility."  This report by an AAAS Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility (CSFR), which was first established on an ad hoc basis in 1970, led to the drafting and approval of a formal charter for the CSFR in 1976.  (Charter revised 1979 and again 1996.)  Among the first major post-Edsall activities of CSFR was the AAAS Professional Ethics Project, which produced a workshop report and collection of ethics documents: Rosemary Chalk, Mark S.

Norton Scientific Scam - Tumblr This is a review of Broad and Wade's Betrayers of the Truth. The author uses a subtitle which is revealing: the loyalist responds to heresy not by seeing that something might be wrong, that there may be some merit to this sort of reassessment, but by defending the ideology. Zinder has managed to misread Broad and Wade in several places. There is sufficient misrepresentation to mean that he read the book very selectively. "The authors continually confound science with scientists. And the book not only fails to enlighten us on science but doesn't even begin to provide any insight on scientific method." (p. 94) "Thirty four cases of fraud over a 2,000 year period are documented in the book, a number roughly comparable to the number of lawyers who went to jail for Watergate. Despite this small number, the authors imply that scientific fraud is common.

(Thorold) - Norton Scientific is proud to announce the company concluded a deal with Prisma Biotech of Taiwan and has ended its first quarter of the year on a very positive note. Bryan Webb, President of Norton, explains market acceptance of their PAM protein monitoring tool has increased dramatically since its introduction at PITTCON 2011 last month. As a result, the company will accelerate its penetration schedule by now extending its sales distribution network across Asia, as well as Europe and North America. Prisma Biotech Corp, based in Taipei, with Sales Offices across Taiwan, is a major supplier of specialist instrumentation to the Taiwanese Life Sciences research market. "We are extremely delighted to add Prisma Biotech to the ever expanding Norton sales network," adds Webb. "We are even more encouraged they have provided us with the first sale in Asia of the new PAM protein monitor. We expect great things from this relationship and continue to build a comprehensive sales presence across Asia using this agreement as the foundation." Norton is continuing to assist existing distributors in their marketing efforts, while entering into negotiations with numerous additional strategic distributors spread around identified key markets, and there are several exciting new announcements anticipated shortly, Webb states. Based in the Niagara Region of Canada, Norton Scientific was established in 2010 to take the knowledge and experience of the founders dating back two decades in the analysis of complex macromolecular and nano-particulate materials and to design innovative measurement tools for use by bench scientists working in modern research facilities. Initial target markets for Norton are the important biochemical applications of protein aggregate screening and the kinetics of protein-protein interactions. Future developments will broaden this base to include applications in biopharmaceutical research, drug delivery, wound healing, advanced materials,

NORTON SCIENTIFIC-Norton: Donald Roberts, "Scientific Fraud", and DDT By kimberlywalter on Sep-19-11 11:54pmhttp://www.zimbio.com/Malaria/articles/9AxTR-k7-DI/Norton+Donald+Roberts+Scientific+Fraud+DDT In this piece Roger Bate, Donald Roberts and Richard Tren accuse the UN of "Scientific Fraud against DDT". Their Accusation is based on an Opinion paper byRoberts and Tren published in Research and Reports in Tropical Medicine. So let's look at their paper and see where the "Scientific Fraud" is. Roberts and Tren's key argument is that reductions in malaria in the Americas were not the result of Global Environmental Facility interventions but were caused by increased use of antimalarial drugs. In their own words: "However, their successes were not a result of the interventions we describe as components of the GEF project. Their successes were mostly a result of wide distributions of antimalarial drugs to suppress malaria (see Table 1). Data in the Table reveal trends of increased numbers of antimalarial pills distributed per diagnosed case and decreased numbers of cases. Equally obvious is the decreased numbers of pills distributed per diagnosed case, and increased numbers of cases in two countries (Costa Rica and Panama)." So their argument rests on table 1. Here's table 1. Country pills/case pills/case % change in % change in 1990 in 2004 pills/case in cases Mexico 235 2566 1092 -1307 Belize 21 82 390 -287 Costa Rica 653 100 -653 112 El Salvador 34 22802 67064 -8276 Guatemala 38 54 142 -144 Honduras 30 51 170 -338 Nicaragua 279 1319 473 -519 Panama 202 140 -144 1337 The first thing that leaps out at you is that the table shows reductions of more than 100%, which is impossible. Panama cannot have experienced a decr

Norton Scientific Journal …a comprehensive collection of resource materials Norton Scientific Journal : Earth's twin located 22 light years away A planet similar to Earth in its ability to sustain water was discovered by astronomers in a nearby Norton Scientific Journal star system. This Earth-twin is located in the habitable area of its host star - a narrow region where temperatures are just right for liquid water to exist on a planet's surface. Astronomers were astonished to find a planet that is around a star orbiting in just the right distance - not too far where it would freeze, nor too close where it would dry up..... Norton Scientific Journal : Making things invisible now possible Researchers from University of Texas in Austin have reportedly made a cloaking chamber that can make something vanish in thin air. The study was published this month in the Norton Scientific Journal New Journal of Physics after more than 5 years of constant experimentation. A cylindrical tube created from insulating material with strips of copper made objects within it invisible to microwaves.....

IF YOU can hear; you probably take sound for granted. Without thinking, we swing our attention in the direction of a loud or unexpected sound - the honk of a car horn, say. Because deaf people lack access to such potentially life-saving cues, a group of researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) in Daejeon built a pair of glasses which allows the wearer to "see" when a loud sound is made, and gives an indication of where it came from. An array of seven microphones, mounted on the frame of the glasses, pinpoints the location of such sounds and relays that directional information to the wearer through a set of LEDs embedded inside the frame. The glasses will only flash alerts on sounds louder than a threshold level, which is defined by the wearer.

All purchases of software linked on this site also help support the RV website. Updated: 3-6-2011: Latest instruction set added for newer traces. Updated: 1-09-2011: New Security Tool 2011 file paths. Description: System Tool 2011 AKA System Tool is a clone of Security Tool. This false security client is nothing more than a scam setup to steal peoples money. How Did I get infected with System Tool 2011? Computers get infected with System Tool 2011 from what is known as a Drive By Download and from installing a program that that thought was something else like a video update. A drive by download is when a malicious website or website that has been hacked, injects code onto that web page and when a user visits the page he/she is prompted to run or install a program. In some cases these programs may auto install. Most paid clients out there like Spyware Doctor with Antivirus are able to block these types of infections. If your antivirus software did not block this install you should consider making a switch. It's obvious whatever you have is not protecting you. What is System Tool 2011 Doing to My Computer Right Now? The scan results found by this bogus security client are all fake. The warning messages shown are also fake. Normally System Tool 2011 hijacks the users desktop on XP systems. It will also block security clients from running and installing as well as all other executables except firefox.exe and iexplorer.exe and a few others. While you may get security measures about your system sending out spam or your private files benign accessed
