Danno is dead. James MacArthur, who played "Danno" in the original version of television's "Hawaii Five-0," died Thursday at age 72. MacArthur's agent, Richard Lewis, said the actor died in Florida of "natural causes," but no direct cause was specified.
This is incredibly exciting news.
MacArthur Fellows to be announced Sep 23rd Looks like Rocky Mountain News accidentally broke the embargo...

that is a good question... at the last crisis some influence was brought upon lenders to keep decode going, but they need cash and a revenue model - they're sitting on some interesting results, I hear, but don't have any resources to go clinical

buyout might be their best bet, but their most valuable asset has some restrictions on it

Heh... my inside sources tell me the government of Iceland can barely afford to keep the country running, and the populace is going back to its traditional foods (boiled sheep's head and rotten shark, yum!), so I'm guessing deCODE is looking elsewhere for the bailout.

However, Steinn is spot on: who will buy a product with such hefty ethical and political strings attached?
