Stem cell breakthrough leaves embryos unharmed - health - 10 January 2008 - New Scientist: "For the first time, human embryonic stem cells have been obtained without having to destroy the embryos they came from.
The breakthrough sidesteps the primary ethical objection to human embryonic stem cell (hESC) research – that embryos must perish to yield up hESCs.
The new technique generates stem cells by extracting and culturing a single embryonic cell, leaving the remaining embryo to develop normally."

Isn't the choice more nuke plants or these guys?
Seeing The Light: "Energy: Most of France's electricity has been generated by nuclear power for years, and now Great Britain is again looking to atomic energy. Why can't we increase nuclear output in this country?"
Has the MSM no shame at all?
These people are seriously ignorant!
Junkfood Science: If only it were true...: "News around the world has reported that “healthy habits can add 14 years to your life.” As incredible as that sounds, more incredible is that not a single health or medical reporter appears to have read the study behind the headlines and accurately report its findings."

Judges: Anti-Clinton Film Is Advertising
And michael More's films were OK?
Judges: Anti-Clinton Film Is Advertising: "The early reviews are in, and three federal judges appeared in agreement Wednesday that a movie lambasting Hillary Clinton seemed an awful lot like a 90-minute campaign advertisement.
Citizens United, a conservative advocacy group, is challenging the nation's campaign finance laws, which require disclaimers on political advertisements and restrict when they can be broadcast. The group argues 'Hillary: The Movie' and related television advertisements are not political advertising even though the New York senator is in the presidential race.
Attorney James Bopp argued that they should be considered 'issue- oriented' speech because viewers aren't urged to vote for or against the Democrat."

Sure hope our bankrupt state hires a bunch of new educators to administer this plan!
State reviews 5-year high school graduation plan: "State educators are considering a proposal seeking to raise the standard graduation time for some Michigan high school students.
The plan allows students in select programs five years to graduate rather than the traditional four. Students would have to be approved for the one-year extension on a case-by-case basis."

'I am here to look you in the eye and tell you that we are a nation that doesn't leave our people behind,' he said.
Borrowing a page from the economic populism of former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, McCain proposed federal payments to compensate for wage loss sustained by older workers forced into lower-paying jobs. He also proposed that local community colleges take on the central role of job retraining he said should be specifically tailored to a community's employment needs."

"Mrs. Granholm, tare down that legislative wall!"
Cut Legislature down to part-time size: "How can Michigan taxpayers justify the cost of our full-time Legislature, one of only four such lawmaking bodies in the nation?"
An e-mail sent to me outlined this glorious quest:
Attorney and business owner, Henry Woloson, from Clarkston, MI, is heading a movement to place a proposal on the 2008 ballot for a part-time legislature in Michigan.
Some facts he provided:
1 - 46 states have part-time legislatures.
2 - Michigan has 148 full-time legislators.
3 - Michigan has 23% more legislators than California . We have a population
Of 10 million. California 's is 36 million.
4 - California is the only state in the US that pays its lawmakers more than
Michigan.
5 - $115 million-plus is allocated each year for the operation of the
Legislature. This does not include lifetime health benefits for former legislators.
Under the new proposal:
1 - Legislative sessions would be limited to 90 days between Jan. 1 and April 30 each year.
2 - Special sessions could be called - no additional compensation.
3 - Elimination of lifetime benefits for legislators.
4 - Freezing salaries pending later review.
5 - Downsizing from 148 members to 100 members. (75 representative and 25 Senators)
6 - Estimated annual savings - more than $30 million.
Other current considerations:
1 - Extending term limits to 12 years for voters who value legislative Experience.
2 - Having terms of both representative and senators be 4 years with 1/2 of Each group standing for election every 2 years.
Quote: " Michigan needs our state government to become more productive and less Expensive with greater accountability. We hope concerned Michigan citizens Will support our efforts to let the voters decide if they wish to join the Vast majority of states effectively operating with a part-time legislature."

4. Any trick that involves balancing food on my nose. Stop it!
5. Any haircut that involves bows or ribbons. Now you know why we chew your stuff up when you're not home.
6. The sleight of hand, fake fetch throw. You fooled a dog! Whoooo Hoooooooo what a proud moment for the top of the food chain.
7. Taking me to the vet for 'the big snip', then acting surprised when I freak out every time we go back!
8. Getting upset when I sniff the crotches of your guests. Sorry, but I haven't quite mastered that handshake thing yet.
9. Dog sweaters. Hello ??? Haven't you noticed the fur?
10. How you act disgusted when I lick myself. Look, we both know the truth. You're just jealous.

Given the outflow of Michiganders, especially in Detroit, over the last few years, doesn't it make sense that the absolute numbers of criminal acts would decline?
After all, there's a whole lot less victims still in Detroit.
It would be better to see the crime/resident ratio.
GordoM wonders why that number isn't published...... yeah right......
Violent crime falls in state's largest cities: "Violent crime in Detroit fell substantially during the first six months of 2007, led by a sharp decline in rapes, robberies and assaults, according to a report from the FBI released today.
Overall, violent crime in the state's largest city fell nearly 12 percent, from 10,551 in the first six months of 2006 to 9,314 last year.
