...research justifies President George W. Bush’s current stem cell policy that denies federal funding to researchers using embryonic cells derived after Aug. 9, 2001, because this method could potentially create many embryonic stem cells without destroying additional human embryos. Representatives at the White House did not respond to repeated requests for comment. However, the scientists’ disagree that their research supports Bush’s policy to limit the creation of new embryonic stem cell lines. “The work that we performed and that was cited in the White House policy report is precisely...
Jaguar spent no less effort improving the six-speed transmission. There are three modes: automatic, sport and manual (using the shift paddles). In manual, according to Jaguar, the gears respond to the driver's touch in 600 milliseconds, and the sensation is pure greased lightning. Sport mode feels silky smooth too.

There is no doubt that Barack Obama can appeal to white audiences -witness the huge crowds of people the Presidential contender has drawn in Iowa and New Hampshire, or his best-selling book. But one of the many unknowns about Obama is how black activists and voters will respond to a different kind of candidacy for an African-American hopeful. Jesse Jackson's focus on the underclass and poverty didn't win him the Democratic nomination in 1988, but Obama would surely like to win the 90% of the black vote in most states that Jackson...
