► Now is the time to think differently and push yourself to try new things. You are sure to find that your great energy can help you to make a real difference in the world, and people take notice. Relationships go through transitions, and it's not healthy to resist them. You need to stay open to change and understand that just as you grow as a person, they do too. You want the best for your friends and loved ones, so you need to support their experiments and cheer when they need it. If someone's new endeavor is taking up their free time, so be it. You can't expect them to keep their life exactly the way you'd like it to be, can you? Give them freedom and they'll give it back.

► Scientists clone stem cells from adults - By Sharon Begley
NEW YORK - Scientists have moved closer to the goal of creating stem cells perfectly matched to a patient's DNA, creating patient-specific cell lines out of the skin cells of two adult men.
* Video: High hopes for space grown stem cells. Feb. 2 - Researchers at the Mayo Clinic are preparing to test their theory that stem cells grow faster in microgravity. With a grant from an organisation that promotes research aboard the International Space Station, Dr Abba Zubair will send a batch of cells into space where he believes the future of human tissue generation with stem cells may lie. Ben Gruber reports.
Feb. 2 - Researchers at the Mayo Clinic are preparing to test their theory that stem cells grow faster in microgravity. With a grant from an organisation that promotes research aboard the International Space Station, Dr Abba Zubair will send a batch of cells into space where he believes the future of human tissue generation with stem cells may lie. Ben Gruber reports.
Abba Zubair is a medical researcher. He once dreamed of becoming an astronaut but now he's reached a happy compromise. His medical science experiment is about to be launched into space. Zubair, a stem cell researcher at the Mayo Clinic, has been awarded a $300,000 grant to grow stem cells in microgravity aboard the International Space Station. Zubair says that simulated studies have shown that stem cells could potentially grow faster in microgravity than on Earth. He hopes his experiment aboard the ISS will prove it, while also revealing any developmental problems that may emerge. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ABBA ZUBAIR, STEM CELL RESEARCHER, MAYO CLINIC, SAYING: "When cells are stimulated to grow one of the risks is the cells can transform to act more like abnormal stem cells. And do you know what abnormal stem cells is? It's cancer cells. So transformation to become malignant is another factor that we want to look act." While one batch of cells grows in space, another batch will be grown on Earth. Apart from the presence of gravity, the growing environment will be the same. Zubair says this will allow his team to analyse the impact gravity has on stem cell growth. If the initial experiment proves successful, and microgravity proves to be a more suitable environment for stem cell growth, Zubair says the next challenge will be to transform the cells into tissue, and ultimately organs. Zubair envisions a future where replacement organs can be grown in space for people who need a transplant later in life. . (SOUNDBITE) (English) ABBA ZUBAIR, STEM CELL RESEARCHER, MAYO CLINIC, SAYING: "So think about it, you can have a spare heart or liver or kidney stored somewhere in space and you just give a phone call when you need it. So we get your stem cells we grow tissue or organs and keep it for you until you need them." And while that scenario may be decades away, Zubair says the research could have implications for the near future. He says that if stem cells can replicate significantly faster in space, then doctors will be able to treat their patients more effectively here on Earth.

I'm so sorry. When I wrote your name in Zapatista, you are still alive but at that time I said you were dead. I wrote your name with the word "late", and a few days later I have edited your name without the word "late".
Now you really die. I feel no need to edit the word "late" for your name, because the word "late" is no longer there and here.
Have a long sleep. We will always remember your name through your books.

Ehheheh ......I was giggling to myself to read Putin's quote about whether Obama would save the Russian President from drowning, "He is brave and courageous, of course he would." While he, who is being praised looks very stupid and ugly, and, indeed, it is so he is, eehhehe ...
Putin certainly is a sympathetic character and that's what I like from the eastern manners which I'm sure it's difficult to be learned by the West: Praising the fool people.

Well, actually I do not deny one reality: I'm happy with the presence of rich people. But I do not like if their existence can't help to alleviate the poverty around them.
Well, at least, there is one interesting thing of this married couple. Anyway, I am happy to see Muslims become millionaires. It dismisses the notion that Muslims are poor people because they are just the slackers who like to vent their lust in a polygamous system through the Islamic teaching.
