A close-up view of the human genome has revealed its innermost workings to be far more complex than first thought. The study, which was carried out on just 1% of our DNA code, challenges the view that genes are the main players in driving our biochemistry.

"Neither eggs nor embryos are necessary. I've never worked with either," says Yamanaka. Whereas cloning with humans was limited by the number of available eggs and by a tricky technique that takes some six months to master, Yamanaka's method can use the most basic cells and can be accomplished with simple lab techniques.

House conservatives blocked passage of a bill to ban reproductive cloning. The Human Cloning Prohibition Act of 2007 would have made it illegal to clone a human being.

While natural forces have influenced Earth's climate (and always will), human-induced changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas levels are playing an increasingly dominant role. Melting ice exposes land or water, BOTH of which reflect less solar radiation than ice. That reinforces rising temperatures, which melt more ice.

Human smugglers now offer illegal immigrants an "express" service into the United States. For an extra $2,000, "coyotes" will sneak immigrants across the border in cars and trucks right under the noses of US agents, and then put them on a plane to the most favored destination, Washington.

Ann Coulter does it again! This is the best take on the whole Imus flap that I've read. Example: "The reason people don't like what Imus said was because the women on the Rutgers basketball team aren't engaged in public discourse. They're not public figures, they don't have a forum, they aren't trying to influence public policy." Enjoy!

A key element of the second major report on climate change being released Friday in Belgium is a chart that maps out the effects of global warming with every degree of temperature rise, most of them bad. There's one bright spot: A minimal heat rise means more food production in northern regions of the world.
