When Lee Byeon Chun looks back four years to when he helped clone the world's first dog, he confesses it was a stressful time. All of his colleagues, he says, were obsessed with the puppy - an Afghan hound named "Snuppy," overanalyzing its every move and whimper in the lab. "I would sleep there sometimes," says Lee, who now heads a team of scientists and researchers at Seoul National University. Today, Lee does not devote all his waking hours to Snuppy, who still lives in the campus lab kennel. He now has a lab full of other cloned canines...
...smoking process. These chemicals transform into N-nitroso compounds—which are known carcinogens—in the acidic stomach. “These are some very active compounds in your body,” said Christiani. “Have you ever heard of the hot-dog headache? That’s what you get after eating too many hotdogs.” Other nitrite and nitrosame-containing foods implicated in this study include sausages, Chinese-style salted fish, and bacon. Although the correlation is very strong, this study does not point to a causal relationship between eating...

I know the Lord is with me in my downward dog. (See pictures of facial yoga.) 12. I was born with jaundice. 13. I was born pigeon-toed. 14. I was born with an extra kidney. I wish I could have sold it on the black market and made some money, but it was underdeveloped and did nothing but cause...
...these measures, some of the tax cuts need to go. Both chambers included a tax credit for first-time home buyers, a hair-of-the-dog solution to a crisis that has its roots in an artificially inflated housing market; it wouldn't provide stimulus, and it wouldn't point the country in a new direction. The nonpartisan Tax Policy Center says the Senate's $70 billion patch to the alternative minimum tax is "neither timely nor targeted" and "makes no sense as economic stimulus." But the biggest component--a $145 billion payroll-tax cut--is both good stimulus, because...
