Antarctica's Lake Bonney is an inaccessible place locked under 15 ft. of ice. But scientists may soon explore it, thanks to a 6.5-ft., 3,000-lb. NASA-funded robot sub just tested in Wisconsin's Lake Mendota. The sub performed so well, it could be diving in Lake Bonney by year's end. It may also serve as a prototype for a mission to the icy oceans on Jupiter's moon Europa...

Despite the discovery—and other ones regarding adult stem cells at the University of Wisconsin and Kyoto University—researchers at Harvard have pledged to continue pursuing embryonic stem cell research. Embryonic research has come under fire from those who consider the destruction of embryos to be immoral.

...years ago and she's a victim of it today. This film is about coming full circle, and like all such tales, it is thick with poignancy. After 10 straight losses in caucuses and primaries from Maryland to Hawaii - including the Feb. 19 whupping in Wisconsin - Clinton returns to Texas to make a last stand. If she can't win on March 4 in a place where she has been organizing for 36 years, she'll have to think about folding...
