Stem cells are considered "adult" when they are taken from anyone from a newborn infant to an elderly person. Stem cells from umbilical cord blood, for example, are considered "adult" stem cells. Embryonic stem cells are taken from blastocytes -- the stage a fertilized egg is in a few days after fertilization, when it is maybe 100 or so undifferentiated cells.

The difference is that, right now anyway, "adult" stem cells cannot be differentiated into every other type of tissue. Stem cells found in bone marrow, for example, can only generate various blood cells. Useful, but not as useful as full differentiability. I'm confident that they'll figure out ways to get around this. Really, stem cells from your own body would seem to be the preferred way of pursuing these sorts of treatments. No issues with tissue rejection.

Petition filed to seize Justice Souter's house to build a hotel on the site.

On Monday June 27, Logan Darrow Clements, faxed a request to Chip Meany the code enforcement officer of the Towne of Weare, New Hampshire seeking to start the application process to build a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road. This is the present location of Mr. Souter's home.

Clements, CEO of Freestar Media, LLC, points out that the City of Weare will certainly gain greater tax revenue and economic benefits with a hotel on 34 Cilley Hill Road than allowing Mr. Souter to own the land.

The proposed development, called "The Lost Liberty Hotel" will feature the "Just Desserts Café" and include a museum, open to the public, featuring a permanent exhibit on the loss of freedom in America. Instead of a Gideon's Bible each guest will receive a free copy of Ayn Rand's novel "Atlas Shrugged."

I've seen the television commercials featuring Mary Tyler Moore which support this issue.

That this would be seen as a next necessary tactic does not surprise me.

His name wasn't Glen Quagmire, was it? Giggity-giggity.

A rather unfortunate choice of words. Intentional, you think?

I don't know. The Trib is not above being punny with their headlines sometimes, but not in the obits. I hope it was just an oversight.

'tain't nothing. Yesterday's story was a guy who was driving down the road with his girlfriend, in one of the suburban counties here, and they saw a 4 ft alligator along the side of the road.

So he got some rope and went and caught it and threw it into the back of his truck. It took till 2 AM for someone qualified to handle the animal to come retrieve it.

He did this, according to the quote, because otherwise no one would believe him if he said he saw one.

I think "martyr" has the same qualification rules as the Darwin Awards. Death must result.

It seems some Church officials are a little too worried about John Paul's case and a little too faithless. There is no need to lawyerball a sainthood declaration by re-d3fining terms.

If he is a saint, and God desires us to know that, then we will discover the miracles needed for proof.

Have you guys seen this! :)

PITTSBURGH (AP) -- The body of rabid Pittsburgh Steelers fan James Henry Smith, who died Thursday, was laid out this week in what his family said was his favorite spot - a recliner with the Steelers on the television.

Mourners stood before a small stage erected in the viewing room of the Samuel E. Coston Funeral Home, on which funeral director Roland Criswell had placed furniture, much as it was arranged in Smith's home on game day.

Smith's feet were crossed; a pack of cigarettes and a six-pack of beer were at his side. A continuous loop of Steelers highlights was playing on TV nearby, as Smith was reclined with a television remote in his hand and a Steelers blanket across his legs.

Ooooookay...

I sometimes wonder what archaeologists 2,000 years from now will make of our culture.

Of course. Sounds like a fine fellow to me.

About 10 years ago, in an historic cemetery just a few miles from here, they buried a guy in his car.

Considering all the improvements we've made in the last 2,000 I imagine they will view us a backward.

The article about the guy in the recliner made me think back to the site I did for an archaeologist. He was/is into Amerind and one of the digs we had uploaded was an 'en bloc' he did of a fellow that was burried sitting uprights with legs cross 'indian' fashion. Just struck me as being a lot of work to bury someone that way.

I thought as much as you guys like sports you'd get a kick out of the article!
