  Heh

  There haven't been any basic science advances shown to improve human obesity. As experiments have shown, lab rats have much simpler fat metabolism than humans -- just give them leptin, and they will stay skinny forever. Human biochemistry isn't so easily fooled; leptin only works for a short time, after which humans develop a resistance to it.
  
  We cannot just give experimental drugs to humans without testing them on lab animals first; on the other hand, lab animals do not adequately resemble humans.
  
  The only real solution to the fat problem is to treat it the same way we dealt with tobacco, through extensive public health interventions, limiting advertisement and access to fatty foods. But in today's world, people have a greater phobia of such government interventions.

      AC: Dorpus's post is actually on topic for once. Maybe it's a pseudo-dorpus masquerading as a true dorpus.

  Technological changes can wreak havoc on industries. In many industries, a firm’s competitiveness is significantly influenced by its ability to respond to new product or process technologies. Technological advances have a profound impact on the destinies of firms. So understanding technological change is very important. Technological change is normally characterised by a high degree of uncertainty. Even if the technical feasibility of an innovation has been established, there may be considerable uncertainty about its commercial viability. Indeed, new problems often crop up after a new technology is commercially launched. So, early commitment to a new technology is not an easy decision to make. Not surprisingly, many companies fail altogether to make the transition to a new technology. In making decisions regarding technological changes, companies err in two ways. In the first case, they commit themselves to a new technology too fast and burn their fingers. Iridium, the global satellite telecommunication project is a good example. In the second, they wait and watch while another company comes up with a new technology that puts them out of business. The computer disk drive industry comes in this category. The issue of when and how to react to the emergence of a new technology is a matter of judgment. However, this judgement need not be based purely on a seat-of-the-pants approach. By doing a systematic structured analysis of developments in the technological environment and putting in place the necessary organizational mechanisms, technology risk can be considerably reduced ------------------------------------------------------------ travis Drug Intervention Minnesota

  Good news

  Alcoholism frequently generates this illusion that nothing is unethical in the life of the one affected by it. But the fact that they don’t observe it does not mean the situation is not dangerously wrong. The people in the dependent persons’ environment should react. ______________________________________________________________ Roberto.c Drug Intervention Mississippi
