"Two teams of Chinese researchers have created live mice from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, answering a lingering question about the developmental potential of the cells."
- Alexander Kruel
Is it just me or do you think that the Chinese might gain significant ground soon because they are less focused on ethical conduct?
- Alexander Kruel
Sure, everything about stem cells is ethical in China - the next world leader

Asians just have genetic abilities to animal cloning. If you remember - Wakayama from RIKEN, Korean dogs and cats... US hired lots of Asians in attempts to clone mammals and human embryo back in decade ago

"WebKit on Mac OS X now has support for CSS 3D transforms, which allow you to position elements on the page in three-dimensional space using CSS. This is a natural extension of 2D transforms, which we described in an earlier blog post. 3D transforms have been supported on iPhone since 2.0, and now we’re please to announce that we have currently added support for Leopard and later."

"A fortuitous orbit of the International Space Station allowed the astronauts this striking view of Sarychev Volcano (Kuril Islands, northeast of Japan) in an early stage of eruption on June 12, 2009. Sarychev Peak is one of the most active volcanoes in the Kuril Island chain, and it is located on the northwestern end of Matua Island. Prior to June 12, the last explosive eruption occurred in 1989, with eruptions in 1986, 1976, 1954, and 1946 also producing lava flows. Ash from the multi-day eruption has been detected 2,407 kilometers east-southeast and 926 kilometers west-northwest of the volcano, and commercial airline flights are being diverted away from the region to minimize the danger of engine failures from ash intake."

Behavioral economist Dan Ariely, the author of Predictably Irrational, uses classic visual illusions and his own counterintuitive (and sometimes shocking) research findings to show how we're not as rational as we think when we make decisions.

"Even though Robert Fure already has two strikes against him for “assaulting a performance artist” and something in California law referred to as “rumplestumping,” he broke into the production office for 9 and stole this beautiful one-sheet for Film School Rejects. So, if you’re a cop, he’s the one that did it. Not us."

Tam da bu mevsimlerde Beştepe Koşuyolu'nda Çakıl'la koşarken birdenbire bir koku yakalar, sonra koştura koştura gider bir kirpi veya kaplumbağa bulur. Sonra da kendi ilgi alanına girmediği için bir iki koklar, devam eder. Kirpiler hakikaten de enteresandırlar. :) It's real: http://images.google.com.tr/images...

"Today, at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, a revolutionary discovery -- one that will stand as a milestone for paleontologists and evolutionists everywhere -- was announced. Scientists based at the University of Oslo have discovered “Ida,” also known as Darwinius masillae, a 47-million-year-old fossil that has been proclaimed the “missing link” in connecting human skeletal structure to early mammals."

"On Monday, May 11, after months of delays and preparation, NASA's Space Shuttle Atlantis launched from the Kennedy Space Center on the final servicing mission to the orbiting Hubble Space Telescope. The seven crew members left Florida for low Earth orbit at 2:01 pm, for a scheduled 11-day mission, including 5 days of Extra-vehicular activity (EVAs) to work on the Hubble. So far the repairs appear to be going very well - the final EVA is scheduled for today, and the landing planned for May 22nd. I was fortunate enough to attend the launch at Banana Creek viewing area, and wish to extend my gratitude to all the people at NASA. (Only one of the photos below is mine)"
