  Hey peeps,

  I have been using viagra with decent success. You need to take it like 45 
minutes b4 the sexual encounter. Dont eat a big meal or drink 6 beers b4 hand , 
 it wont allow the drug to work very well. I take the 50 mg version, but you 
can go up to as much as 100mg. I straight cathe and I always cathe b4 and after 
the encounter. 

  I get a decent hard on with viagra, but its not like the old days. I might 
need to try the 100mg. I wonder about cialis?? They say with that you can 
choose when to have the encounter within a 24 hour period.

  If you have an understanding partner it will help everything go smoothly 
without worry and anxiety. I tried bringing a girl back home that had no clue 
about spinal injury. I pulled it off but was a lil nervous I wouldnt perform to 
her satisfaction. But I guess who cares as long as you try.

SIX STEM CELL FACTS

The public discussion of human embryo research has too often lacked

   There is no "ban" on human embryonic stem cell (ESC) research in the United

Re: [QUAD-L] Six Stem Cell Facts

[Jim Lubin]

Glad to see you partly agree with me Dan. (yes I realize you were 
being sarcastic) I don't agree with the part about having elaborate 
funerals and burying them, but yes we must not destroy unused 
fertilized eggs created for IVF treatments.


Using unused embryos is not the same as organ donation because organ 
donor are dead before organs are harvested. Removing stem cells from 
an embryo kills the embryo.


I've listened to Dr Kerr from Johns Hopkins talk a few times about 
his research. http://www.hopkinsneuro.org/tm/
watch his presentation at the 2006 symposium here 
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2767307331641285489&hl=en
he mentioned that they want to use the embryos created for IVF that 
are deformed (something to that effect) and can not be used for 
in-vitro treatment. Now I can go along with using those that could 
not be used to result in a pregnancy.


I agree with S. 30: A bill to intensify research to derive human 
pluripotent stem cell lines

[QUAD-L] SCI Treatments Adult vs Embryonic Stem Cells

[Jim Lubin]

SPINAL CORD INJURY TREATMENTS
ADULT STEM CELLS VS. EMBRYONIC STEM CELLS

Adult Stem Cells Treat Spinal Cord Injury in Humans and Animals:

2006 Scientists in Italy & Israel demonstrated that stimulating 
immune cells enhanced abilities of adult neural stem cells to promote 
functional recovery of mice with spinal cord injury.
Ziv Y et al., Synergy between immune cells and adult neural 
stem/progenitor cells promotes
functional recovery from spinal cord injury, Proceedings of the 
National Academy of Sciences

USA 103, 13174-13179, August 29, 2006.

2006 Spanish researchers achieved almost complete functional recovery 
of rats with chronic
spinal cord injury using bone marrow adult stem cells. Zurita M & 
Vaquero J, Bone
marrow stromal cells can achieve cure of chronic paraplegic rats: 
functional and
morphological outcome one year after transplantation, Neuroscience 
Letters 410, 51-56,

July 10, 2006.

2006 Dr. Carlos Lima in Portugal reported on transplant of nasal stem 
cells into 7 patients
with spinal cord injury. Patients regained some motor function and 
sensation, and 2
patients showed bladder control improvement. Lima C et al., Olfactory 
mucosa autografts in
human spinal cord injury: A pilot clinical study, Journal of Spinal 
Cord Medicine 29, 191-203,

June 2006.

2006 Toronto researchers found that transplanting adult neural stem 
cells into rats up to 8
weeks after spinal cord injury resulted in significant improvement 
and recovery. Karimi-

of L 'major step'", Louisville Courier-Journal, March 8, 2006.

2005 Treating spinal cord injured rats with umbilical cord blood stem 
cells gave moderate
recovery in mobility and function. Kuh S-U et al., Functional 
recovery after human umbilical
cord blood cells transplantation with brain-derived neurotrophic 
factor into the spinal cord injured

rat, Acta Neurochir (Wien) 147, 985-992, 2005.

2005 Extending earlier results, Wisconsin and Swedish researchers 
injected neural stem cells
into rats with spinal cord injury. The study shows reduction of pain, 
and increased
recovery of function and feeling. Hofstetter CP et al., Allodynia 
limits the usefulness of
intraspinal neural stem cell grafts; directed differentitation 
improves outcome, Nature

Neuroscience 8, 346-353, March 2005.

2004 Japanese scientists tested the effects of bone marrow stromal 
cells on repair of injured
spinal cord. The study demonstrated that the adult stem cells 
promoted both tissue
recovery and behavioral improvements in rats. Ohta M et al., Bone 
marrow stromal cells
infused into the cerebrospinal fluid promote functional recovery of 
the injured rat spinal cord with

reduced cavity formation, Experimental Neurology 187, 266-278, 2004.

2003 University of South Florida and Korean researchers used human 
umbilical cord blood
stem cells to treat rats with spinal cord injuries. They found that 
the cord blood stem

cells migrated to areas of injury, and the rats showed significant behavioral
improvements even when treated several days after the injury. Saporta 
S et al., Human
umbilical cord blood stem cells infusion in spinal cord injury: 
Engraftment and beneficial

influence on behavior, J Hematotherapy Stem Cell Research 12, 271-278, 2003.

2002 A collaboration between researchers at Tulane and in Sweden 
found that adult bone
marrow stromal cells promote healing of spinal cord injuries, and 
that the cells produced
significant functional improvement. The study concluded that bone 
marrow stromal cells
are an accessible, expandable source of cells that offer a promising 
future for spinal cord
repair. Hofstetter CP et al., Marrow stromal cells form guiding

  April 06, 2007  Volume 07, Issue 04-01  
   Portrait of Hope 
  Spotlight: 
  Embryonic Stem Cells:
  My History, so far:
  The first embryonic stem cells were isolated in mice in 1981. But it wasn't 
until 1998 that researchers managed to derive stem cells from human embryos. 
That kicked into full gear an ethical debate that continues to this day. Here's 
a look at key moments in the controversy so far:
  1981: Embryonic stem cells are first isolated in mice by two groups - Gail 
Martin at the University of California, San Francisco, and Martin Evans, then 
with the University of Cambridge (he's now at the University of Cardiff).
  November 1995: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin isolate the first 
embryonic stem cells in primates - rhesus macaque monkeys. The research shows 
it's possible to derive embryonic stem cells from primates, including humans.
  Nov. 5, 1998: Researchers at the University of Wisconsin and Johns Hopkins 
University report isolating human embryonic stem cells. The cells have the 
potential to become any type of cell in the body and might one day be used to 
replace damaged or cancerous cells. But the process is controversial: One team 
derived their stem cells from the tissue of aborted fetuses; the other from 
embryos created in the laboratory for couples seeking to get pregnant by in 
vitro fertilization. (MORE: 'Scientists Report Breakthrough in Embryonic Stem 
Cells')
  Aug. 23, 2000: The National Institutes of Health issue guidelines that allow 
federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research. Former President Bill Clinton 
supports the guidelines.
  February 2001: The month after taking office, President George W. Bush 
requests a review of the NIH funding guidelines and puts a hold on federal 
funds for stem-cell research.
  July 18, 2001: Sen. Bill Frist (R-TN) and Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), a vocal 
abortion opponent, call for limited federal funding for stem-cell research.
  July 29, 2001: House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-IL) and other Republican House 
leaders come out in opposition to federal funding for research.
  Aug. 9, 2001: President Bush announces his decision to limit funding to a few 
dozen lines of embryonic stem cells in existence at that date. Many of the 
approved lines later prove to be contaminated, and some contain genetic 
mutations, making them unsuitable for research. (MORE: 'Bush Limits Funding for 
Stem-Cell Research')
  Nov. 25, 2001: Scientists at Advanced Cell Technology in Massachusetts claim 
to have cloned a human embryo. However, the evidence proves controversial and 
not conclusive.
  Feb. 12, 2004: South Korean scientists announce the world's first 
successfully cloned human embryo. Unlike other past cloning claims, the 
scientists report their work in a prestigious, peer-reviewed journal, Science. 
The embryos were cloned not for reproductive purposes but as a source of stem 
cells. The news reopens the contentious debate over somatic-cell nuclear 
transfer, which is sometimes referred to as therapeutic cloning. Scientists say 
cloning offers a unique way to produce cells that may someday be used to treat 
diseases. But critics argue that any form of cloning is morally repugnant and 
should be banned. (MORE: 'Scientists Succeed in Cloning Human Embryo')
  June 25, 2004: New Jersey legislators pass a state budget that includes $9.5 
million for a newly chartered Stem Cell Institute of New Jersey. The move makes 
New Jersey the first state to fund research on stem cells, including those 
derived from human embryos. (MORE: 'New Jersey to Fund State Research on Stem 
Cells')
  Nov. 2, 2004: California voters approve Proposition 71, which authorizes the 
state to spend $3 billion on embryonic stem-cell research over 10 years. The 
measure is a response to federal funding restrictions put into place in 2001. 
It puts California ahead of the federal government and many other nations in 
promoting the research. 
  May 19, 2005: The same South Korean researchers who reported cloning a human 
embryo in 2004 announce another milestone: They say they've created a 
streamlined process that uses far fewer human eggs to produce usable embryonic 
stem cells - a major step toward mass production. Their work is published in 
Science. (MORE: 'Researchers Report Advance in Stem Cell Production')
  May 24, 2005: The House passes a bill that would ease President Bush's 
restrictions on federal funding for stem-cell research. 
  May 26, 2005: A version of the bill passed in the House is introduced in the 
Senate. Among Senate sponsors of the bill are two prominent Republicans, Sen. 
Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania and Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah. Their support comes 
despite President Bush's promise to veto any legislation lifting the 
restrictions on funding he put in place on Aug. 9, 2001.
  May 31, 2005: Connecticut approves $100 million in funding for adult and 
embryonic stem-cell research ove

The Bureau of Labor Statistics released numbers today showing the US economy is 
on fire, with unemployment at an all-time low and 160,000 new jobs created in 
one month.  The S&P futures traded lock limit up, showing a 30 point gain on 
Monday's opening.  To make money, you sell into strength.  I will liquidate my 
positions on Monday afternoon, as Tuesday (called Turnaround Tuesday) usually 
retraces Monday's performance.  Tuesday afternoon (hopefully) stock prices 
should be lower, and I'll buy into weakness.  Of course, this is not a 
certainty.

  Two stocks among the 12 that I listed last week had moves over 15 percent.  
If anyone had put their one million dollars into either of these two stocks, 
they would have racked up 250,000 in capital gains, and received a 10,000 
dollar check from CNBC. I'll try to send a new list on Sunday afternoon.

  Could all of those who joined the one million Dollar challenge send me their 
name and e-mail.  I'm trying to convince CNBC to add 10,000 dollars to my 
portfolio.  Currently, I'm in the top 24 percent.
Go to New York Rangers!  Today is my B-day.  Peter 25 yrs

People don't usually die from MS either.  It is in the orbit. to call attention 
to
the disease.  

Hey, the MS society is trying to raise a huge amount of money & FINALLY they 
admit
people with MS can't use their legs!  Hope I am a good guinea pig for them.

[QUAD-L] WINDOWS GENUINE ADVANTAGE NOTIFICATION

[Dan T]

Hello , as my computer booted up today I was prompted to install window genuine 
advantage notification.  It is Software that is supposed to ensure that my 
Windows is truly Windows.  I am reluctant to download any new software as often 
there can be incompatibility issues with Dragon NaturallySpeaking.  I am using 
Dragon preferred 8.1.  Does anybody know if this genuine Windows advantage is a 
good program to have installed on your computer?  Or how it is compatible with 
NaturallySpeaking?  Feedback is appreciated.  Dan T. have a great Easter 
everyone!
