"Now to the sheik. He has something against him that should bring him at least life in prison. And that is badly mistreating and factual killing / 'his hands'/ of American hostage journalist Daniel Pearl in Pakistan. As to his 9/11 testimony, under the duress of quasi torture, that has almost no real value. He might have wished 9/11 attacks to happen, and might have helped organize them, even though the directly responsible are dead with the airplanes. All Arabs involved in the 9/11 inside operation attacks probably never knew, and do not know now, that they were aided, allowed, and helped by inside forces. ... Without that, no 9/11pretext for war inside job controlled demolition would have happened. Many Arabs, former friends of USA, started to hate US after bombing apart and occupation of Iraq 91-03. That is not a crime, however, 1.. they cannot plan and carry out terrorist actions, 2.. USA should not use /genocidal/ force in foreign policy and occupations., 3 .. US should prevent known terrorist planned actions, and NOT use them to carry out inside false flag ops on the US soil." - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet

Starfish, salamanders, and planarian flatworms share a seemingly magical trait: the ability to regenerate body parts they've lost. While humans may never boast quite the same ability, scientists are perfecting ways to create different types of replacement tissue using stem cells or techniques that kick-start regrowth and development. ... - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet

In theory, embryonic stem cells can turn into hundreds of different types of tissue, but coaxing them to become one precise type isn't always easy. .. success in turning human stem cells into lung epithelial tissue. Their secret? They grew the stem cells in an air–liquid culture that replicated conditions in the human trachea, which encouraged the cells to differentiate into the kind of tissue appropriate for the environment. - Petr Buben

The humble zebra fish can regrow damaged fins and other body parts with aplomb, but for many years, no one knew exactly what gave the fish that ability. Now researchers at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies have zeroed in on a crucial developmental sequence that allows the fish to go back in biological time. Scott Stewart and his team discovered that after a fin is amputated,... more... - Petr Buben

This is the beginning of the self-organizing neurological patterns that eventually, in more complex mammal brains, become personality.. The computer simulation utilizes an IBM supercomputer capable of performing 22.8 trillion operations in a second. And that's just barely enough to simulate one part of a rat's brain. Each individual neuron requires the computing power of a high-end desktop compute. The researchers running Blue Brain hope that what they're learning about the organization of neurons in the simulated rat brain will allow them to create a digital human brain within 10 years, even though that is many orders of magnitude more complex than a rat brain. - Petr Buben from Bookmarklet
