...Tampa court decided that Odyssey has 14 days to turn over all data regarding the Black Swan's identity and location and must permit Spain to inspect the artifacts it has recovered. That ruling levels the playing field before a civil trial in Tampa again next October, which will decide who owns the Black Swan site, and what percentage of the recovered treasure belongs to the salvagers. Although Odyssey's earlier court petition sought to restrict what information it released and to whom, the company says it got what it wanted from Thursday's ruling. "We are pleased that...
Harris guesses that if the anterior insula collaborates in prompting distaste for such disparate things as bad math, waterboarding and sour milk, it may also act when a religious believer recoils at the statement "God is dead." His next trial will test religious belief and disbelief. Can he remain unbiased? He points out that it's impossible to prove or disprove God's existence just by studying what humans think is true or false. Faith, however, is more vulnerable. He admits that those who regard faith as a communion with the divine, at least partly independent of body chemistry...
...such vaccine, known as TA-CD (for "therapy for addiction - cocaine addiction"), is being developed by husband-and-wife team Dr. Thomas Kosten, a psychiatry professor, and Therese Kosten, a neuroscientist and psychologist, at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas.

The Kostens are currently seeking approval from the Food and Drug Administration to go ahead...
...first witness in the long-postponed trial of former Liberian President Charles Taylor wasn't invited to address the alleged atrocities that engendered war crimes charges, to which Taylor has pleaded innocent. Instead, he came to talk about "conflict" or "blood" diamonds. The heart of the prosecution's case is that Taylor terrorized the people of neighboring Sierra Leone in order to appropriate its diamond wealth for his own ends. Taylor is being tried on 11 counts in a special court in The Hague, including murder, rape, mutilation, and conscripting child soldiers in neighboring Sierra Leone...
Smillie is one of eight experts expected to testify in the coming months, along with former Taylor associates and victims of the militias Taylor allegedly funded in Sierra Leone's often gruesome 10-year civil war. Taylor, who boycotted the start of his trial in June saying it wouldn't be fair, has been receiving about 100,000 U.S. dollars a month from the court for his defense; the court, for its part, in financial straits of its own, continues to search for Taylor's suspected fortune in hopes of being reimbursed. Prosecutors have 144 witnesses lined up; half...
