President Bush intends to ban nuclear transfer. If realized in a clinical phase, nuclear transfer will require a patient to donate one of his or her own body cells. Clinicians then mix this body cell in a test tube with an egg cell, and produce life-saving tissue. Patients receive transplantation without being dangerously immune-suppressed. When considered in its actual context, nuclear transfer is a simple and highly innovative medical technique. It is a technical process with no intention of creating a human being...
...WIND AND OTHER RENEWABLES: Current Percentage: 1.5% Target for 2010: 10% MAJOR PROJECTS: The nation's biggest wind farm will be built in Pingtan county in Fujian province. The first phase started in 2000 with a capacity of 6 megawatts. Most of China's wind farms currently provide electricity for remote villages in the far west. The west is also home to the country's largest solar power station, which is located on 3,000 sq m of a livestock farm in Xinjiang. When fully operational it will provide electricity for more than 10,000 local farmers. Although scientists...

The box-office window is followed by the pay-per-view window, and then the DVD window opens, followed by the premium-cable window. The studios maximize their profit by selling licenses for each phase. If peer-to-peer networks can offer movies while the films are still in theaters, the whole revenue stream could be undermined. "We have less issues with technology overall than the lack of the ability to enact business rules around that technology," says Darcy Antonellis, a senior vice president at Warner...
