	A Report to an Academy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"A Report to an Academy" ("Ein Bericht für eine Akademie") is a short story by Franz Kafka, written in 1917.
		In the story, an ape who has learned to behave like a human presents to an academy the story of how he effected his transformation.
		He accomplishes this, with the help of many teachers, and reports to the academy that his transformation is so complete that he can no longer properly describe his emotions and experiences as an ape.

	American Academy of Microbiology report proposes initiative to interpret genome data
		A key component of this initiative is the development of a centrally organized database of peer-reviewed, experimentally verified gene annotations, tied to catalogs of genes that have yet to be annotated and known biochemical functions for which a gene has yet to be found.
		The report recommends that the new annotation initiative provide flexible funding to support experiments that will test annotation predictions, including nontraditional funding mechanisms such as smaller awards to a greater number of laboratories and awards to support student research.
		The report is based on the findings of a colloquium convened by the Academy in Washington, DC in July 2004.

	SPACE.com -- Report: NASA Should Use Space Shuttle to Service Hubble
		U.S. lawmakers to call for an outside opinion on the risks and merits of Hubble servicing and O’Keefe soon agreed to ask the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to convene a committee to evaluate options for saving the space telescope.
		In a final report released today, “Assessment of Options for Extending the Life of the Hubble Space Telescope”, the committee concluded that a shuttle mission is the “best option” for extending the life of Hubble and preparing the telescope for eventual robotic de-orbit.
		The final report also rebutted O’Keefe’s objections to shuttle servicing as too risky, saying “the difference between the risk faced by the crew of a single shuttle mission to the ISS -- already accepted by NASA and the nation --and the risk faced by the crew of a shuttle mission to HST, is very small.

	AAP - Study Fails to Show a Connection Between Thimerosal and Autism
		The American Academy of Pediatrics provides the following information for clinicians who may be aware of recent press surrounding an article that claims to show a correlation between thimerosal and autism.
		Inherent limits of VAERS include incomplete reporting, lack of verification of diagnoses, and lack of data on people who were immunized and did not report problems.
		An appropriate comparison is not made between thimerosal exposure and no thimerosal exposure, which is not possible using VAERS data, because one cannot be sure whether a child received a thimerosal-containing vaccine at any point before the event for which the VAERS report was created.

	Words Without Borders -> A Report to an Academy
		I recently read an article penned by one of the thousands of gossiping gadflies that write about me in the papers, who claims that my apish nature is still not completely repressed, and cites as proof my predilection for removing my pants whenever I have guests to show the entry point of that bullet.
		Soon I was smoking a pipe like an old salt, and if I pressed my thumb into the bowl to boot, the whole steerage would cheer; except it took me a long time to understand the difference between an empty pipe and one that had been fully stuffed.
		Through an unprecedented exertion I managed to acquire the education of your average European, which might not mean a thing in itself, but at least it helped me out my cage, at least it provided me with this way out, this human way.

	FDA Statement on "Scientific Criteria to Ensure Safe Food," a Report by the National Academy of Sciences
		The National Academy of Sciences' report, "Scientific Criteria to Ensure Safe Food," commissioned by FDA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, reinforces the progress FDA has already made in reducing and preventing food borne illness.
		The report specifically attributes some of this progress to the adoption of the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) approach to food safety - which FDA has already applied to seafood, fresh juice, and is voluntarily applied in the dairy industry.
		To the extent that the NAS report calls for new legislative authority and additional resources, FDA will work closely with the Administration and the Congress to evaluate any innovations designed to make the U.S. food supply even safer.

	A Report to an Academy
		"'''A Report to an Academy'''" ("'''Ein Bericht für eine Akademie'''") is a short story written by Franz Kafka in 1917 and originally published that year by Martin Buber, in the German monthly Der Jude, along with another of Kafka's stories, "Jackals and Arabs" ("Schakale und Araber").
		Because the narrator does defy this condition, an existentialist perspective could be applied here, as the core of existentialist philosophy is "existence precedes essence"--meaning that one's nature is not fixed, and thus one has the freedom to "become" anything one wants to be.
		However, it must be remembered that Kafka never would have called himself an existentialist, and aside from his appreciation of Nietzsche and Soren Kierkegaard, had little interest in philosophy.

	President Portrays Social Security Shortfall as Enormous, But His Tax Cuts and Drug Benefit Will Cost, Rev 2/11/05
		In their 2004 report, the trustees specifically stated that enactment of the drug bill had enlarged the long-term shortfall in the Medicare Hospital Insurance program.
		The figures cited here for the long-term cost of the tax cuts represent their cost (in present value) through 2078 if the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts are made permanent in the way that the Administration has proposed.
		In this case, use of such an assumption is conservative and almost certainly results in some understatement of the tax cuts’ long-term cost.

		T.S. Eliot, in the middle of this century, could attract enough of an audience to fill, it was said, a football stadium.
		Yet the subject needs to be discussed, and the best way to discuss it is not to draw an argument from the etiolated, almost spectral, condition of poetry in America.
		This absence stems from an absence of poetry at the conference itself.

		Same-gender "marriage" is clearly a highly controversial cultural issue and represents a radical social experiment lacking unbiased research supporting its benefits or even its safety for both individuals and society as a whole.
