...meantime, the small world of canine cloning has become fiercely competitive. Some of the players are duking it out over who owns the patent to commercially clone animals in the first place. Last year, California-based BioArts International, which says it has the sole worldwide license for cloning dogs after it bought the so-called Dolly patent, accused RNL BIO of black-market cloning by using technology covered in that patent. "They did not develop core cloning technology," says Lou Hawthorne, CEO of BioArts. RNL BIO, however, insists that the company and its researchers are operating under another, dog-specific...
Khan was placed under house arrest in 2004 after he appeared on Pakistani state television to issue a teary-eyed confession. In that midnight appearance, speaking in English, he said he claimed sole responsibility for his actions.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), which has sole power to regulate helicopter flight, and the Association of Air Medical Services, the industry's main trade group, maintain that most accidents have nothing in common, making it difficult for the FAA to impose tough safety rules. "Each accident has a different set of facts that leads...
...credibility of the council was called into question earlier in January, when Transparency International Indonesia accused the institution of being one of the most frequent takers of bribes in the country, particularly in the issuance of halal stickers for food and beverage products. The Council has the sole authority to issue halal certificates - a stamp that can make or break a product in this 85% Muslim market. And while some praised the group for taking on the tobacco lobby in its antismoking efforts, the clerics fell short of banning the habit outright - not surprising in a country where cigarette companies...
