...specializes in corn ethanol, estimates that an additional 400 projects in various stages of development could add 28 billion gal. to the RFA's conservative figures. Add 5 billion to 10 billion unannounced gal. that Tierney expects to hit the market in a few years, and "we'll have excess capacity before 2012," when Bush wants at least 7.5 billion gal. available. "That means margins will get squeezed and there's a glut," Tierney notes, adding that it may take five years for such a market to sort itself...
...plodding along at a snail's pace over the past five years, stem-cell research-at least the scientific side of it-took a few bold steps forward Wednesday. As Congress gets set to vote on legislation that would expand federal funding for the field to include studies on excess IVF embryos, researchers in the U.S. and Japan announced exciting advances in their ability to turn back the clock on older, adult cells and get them to generate embryonic stem cells. The findings could expand the ways that doctors and patients eventually generate customized stem cells for treatments...
...injury is ever timely, but this was a season of particularly untimely injuries, as the Crimson had just enough talent to be feared around the Ivy League but not the excess that allowed teams of years past to be unaffected by injuries...
Nigeria: Wretched Excess Tom Pullo looks like a fighter. His chest is a barrel, his forearms are all muscle.

...Couples have the option of keeping these embryos frozen, discarding them, donating them to other infertile couples, or making them available for study. Because President Bush has forbidden federal funds to be used to study human embryonic stem cells, only privately supported programs can ask couples with excess embryos to donate them for stem cell research. Given the high cost of each IVF cycle, however, more and more couples expressed a desire to keep their stem cells from themselves, to use whenever stem cell therapies became a reality for treating diseases from diabetes to Parkinson...
