...when they do, scientists will have to learn how to coax them into producing useful tissues. They'll also have to make certain that both the cloning and the coaxing don't damage the cells in a way that make them not just ineffective but lethal. That's the danger with a different form of stem-cell production, announced this past November, in which skin cells are simply genetically reprogrammed to revert to stem cells. The reprogramming, however, can trigger cancerous growth - so that technique, too, is far from ready for clinical...
...fate of the polar bear goes beyond a single oil and gas project. If the species is declared threatened, FWS will have responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act to protect the bears from their main danger - in this case, climate change. That means the government could be challenged legally for anything that increases carbon dioxide emissions - like a new coal power plant - on the grounds that further climate change would further endanger the polar bear. "It would be the first time that the Bush Administration would recognize that global warming had a significant and specific impact on a living being...

It's not behavior one should condone but it can make sense in that world where someone is just trying to survive against every odd imaginable...
...strong points? If she was sober long enough to answer, I think she thinks she is smart. It's why she doesn't help the police - if she told the whole story she'd be in jail. To her, that's smart, even if the child is in danger. She knows how to survive in a world without a man. Without love. I don't think she trusts love so is happier without it. She knows she's funny...
...Zealand's] southern mountains was a very old route, but we had to climb up a long, steep snow-slope. I was aware that if I slipped on the slope that I could possibly injure myself. I was aware that I had to be careful and there was a danger. It was really a very small possibility of danger compared to my later situations, but at that time I was aware of it. Getting up to the top of this little mountain and down again gave me probably as much pleasure as climbing a really difficult mountain did later...
