Officials at Wisconsin's flagship university have urged the high court to rely on a ruling involving the University of Virginia four years ago. In that case, the justices said the school breached the First Amendment by refusing to provide funds for a student Christian magazine even though it subsidized nonreligious student publications.

But the research suggests that the new hope genetics is bringing to victims of cancer and other devastating diseases may also cover the merely bald...
...point the way toward a cold cure though. Scientists at the University of Ghent, in Belgium, have found a protein called M2 that seems to be present in virtually every flu strain known to man. Using that knowledge, they have made a vaccine that they think could protect against all flus--old, new and those not yet in existence...

But if you're waiting for a true cure, it won't happen until we eat all our food in pill form...
