""We've looked for those boxes [containing the tubes] everywhere," Bréchot explained."

That is just so pathetic.  It's like emptying the trash onto a sheet to find your driver's license just on the off chance

A prestigious research institute in France said it had lost thousands of tubes of samples of the deadly Sars coronavirus.

A routine inventory check at Paris' Pasteur Institute revealed that 2,349 tubes containing fragments of the virus responsible for the deaths of 774 people in 2002 were missing, the centre named after French chemist Louis Pasteur said.

The institute was quick to reassure the public and said that the contents of the missing vials had no infectious potential. They contained only part of the virus and had no ability to spread.

"Independent experts referred by health authorities have qualified such potential as 'non-existing' according to the available evidence and literature on the survival of the Sars virus," the institute said.

In 2002 more than 8,000 people were infected by a pandemic of Sars - severe acute respiratory syndrome. The virus spread from China through Hong Kong and on to other countries before it was eventually brought under control.

It is not clear how the tubes disappeared from one of the institute's safest laboratories. Management were made aware of the loss in January, Le Monde newspaper reported.

For weeks, staff at the institute tried to find the missing vials, general director Christian Bréchot said.

"We've looked for those boxes [containing the tubes] everywhere," Bréchot explained.

"We went thought the lists of all the people who have worked here in the past year and a half, including trainees. We have scrutinised their profile to check if there was any conflict."

Bréchot said that foul play was "highly improbable" but had not been ruled out.

The tubes were stored in a high-security laboratory dedicated to research into highly infective viruses.

Access to the lab is limited to a restricted number of personnel, who have to go through a disinfection process before they can leave.

Bréchot suggested that the tubes, which were moved from one freezer to another in March 2013, might have been destroyed by a member of staff who forgot to record the procedure.

Sars is an airborne virus, which spreads in a similar way to flu and the common cold.

The Agency for the Safety of Health Products has opened an investigation into the missing tubes.

we mount satellites in orbit and set up the Internet for continuous updated streaming of the darkside terminator moving across the earth, and nobody cares?  This is the most awesome achievement since the moon landing!

MYTH? And you lived in NV?

1.  Some cacti have spready pads that are edible if you carefully remove the needles, and many have edible fruits.

2.  If you have to, you can remove the top of a barrel cactus and with leather gloves take out the pulp.  The pulp has needles in it.  Don't eat the pulp, but you can squeeze a lot of water out of it.  Only do it before you're about to die, because you're probably on protected land and molesting cacti is a felony.

In late March, President Obama took a week-long trip through Europe which included a stop of less than 24 hours in Brussels, Belgium for meetings with the European Union and NATO. The president stayed at The Hotel, a twenty-seven story hotel in the center of the city. The estimated cost for the president's stay, including about two weeks for an advance team, was $1,522,646.36.

(govt document)


Despite reports that the president travelled with an entourage of 900, the Justification and Approval documents only indicate a need for "283 Lodging Rooms." However, sometimes more than one hotel is used during VIP trips. For instance, when the president travelled to South Africa for Nelson Mandela's funeral, five different hotels were used.

Contracts for lodging have not yet been posted for the president's other stops during his Europe trip, which included the Netherlands and Rome, Italy.

Aw come on you guys! That's like $300/night for 17 nights for 283 rooms.   Can't we get the auto club discount??

>>France is one of Russia's harshest critics at the moment, and sweden is neutral as usual. Saying Euro is in russian sphere of influence is paranoid rightwing yank propaganda lingering from the 70s.

>>By that logic, considering the amount of USA citizens of Russian descent compared to the same in European countries, you guys are downright a Russian colony ! No wonder theres so much boozing in Ensenada during spring break, it's your Russian blood speaking !

No, I'm just explaining why Russia is going to exert influence to the fullest extent within its historic sphere.  After all they only got to Crimea in 1735.

>>The biggest concerns EU has about getting hostile with Russia atm is that 30-40% of their gas for heating comes from russia, thru a Ukranian pipeline. If Russia were to cut the gas flow (again), the alternative closeby gas producers Norway and UK cant produce and efficiently deliver enough. That leaves expensive gas producers from other continents.

Which is why I insist the USA has the option of bombing on those pipelines rather than moan about sanctions.  Not only will we still have enough gas, we can sell you the gas you can't buy from Russia for wartime prices! Kaching!

>>You want to make a list of all the conflicts where the USA has incited and armed the local uprisings in the last few decades just to protect their imperial interests? But aside from that, the American indignation remains laughable as long as they remain in Iraq based on trumped up excuses (they STILL havent found those WMDs right? Sadam's pretty dead right?). Theres tens of thousands of people killed in THAT invasion, which was also unsanctioned by the UN. He that is without sin, let him cast the first stone, right?

Lemme know when we add a state and issue US passports, mkay?

>>First off, they weren't invaded, the Russians allready had a huge presence in Crimea to start with.

We have a huge presence in Ensenada during Spring Break.  Doesnt' mean we start hauling down the flag and policing the streets with armored vehicles.

>>Actually it's the primary deployment site for their Black Sea fleet, as it has been for quite a long time allready. They DID however strengthen their presence there to safeguard their interests from the newly emerging, anti-russian Ukrainian government.

By hauling the flag off courthouses and policing the streets with armored cars.

>>I'm sure the USA would just hand over any military bases abroad when the government of that country suddenly turned anti-USA, right?

Pretty much, apart from Guantanamo. 

>>Also, all 'aggressive acquisitions' in Crimea lately were not executed by Russian troops, but by pro-russian CRIMEAN paramilitary troops. Big difference.

Yes, they don't get a campaign medal for the NonInvasion of OughtastayedRussia.  And there's probably some pension angle to it.  Who are you kidding?  Seriously?

>>And about Europe being in the Russian sphere of influence .... we still have American military bases in my country, not Russian ones, and they still even house American ballistic nuclear missiles aimed at Russia. I'm sure your assessment is correct though, since we're a little more socialist in our policies than the USA, we must all be commies. *sigh*

Nope nope, there were Russians in France and Italy in 1815, and they've been involved in Sweden since 1705. So clearly there's ancient conflicts that should be resolved by the use of force by not-invading not-Russians.
