Q: Are you going to watch the Geminids this year?

If you have clear skies, will you stay up late and watch?...[more]

A recent study just came out that demonstrates that stem cells can be created through the use of fat cells, of which there are plenty in the US! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2001/04/10/tech/main284900.shtml Perhaps this will allow stem cell research to finally continue moving forward!
