Oddly enough, that name is commonly pronounced "FREED". Michael Corrigan Programmer Endora Digital Solutions 1900 S. Highland Avenue, Suite 200 Lombard, IL 60148 630/627-5200 x-136 630/627-5255 Fax ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Gilchrist To: CF-Community Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2002 9:50 AM Subject: Beware of Johns-Hopkins A SNIP WITHOUT SNIPS Nathaniel Fried is a man who restores one's faith in nominative determinism - the notion that a person's choice of career is somehow dictated by their surname. The researcher at Johns Hopkins Medical School in Baltimore, Maryland, has discovered that by firing a pulse of ultrasound at the male scrotum, he can perform a permanent vasectomy without making any incisions at all. Five watts of ultrasound briefly administered by a specially shaped transducer can heat the vas deferens - the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles into the urethra - to over 50 degrees Celsius. This kills cells in the tube wall, which coagulate and obstruct the tube. "You are essentially cooking the tissue," says Dr Fried. ______________________________________________________________________ Macromedia ColdFusion 5 Training from the Source Step by Step ColdFusion http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201758474/houseoffusion Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
