Kovco coffin, Embryonic Stem cells, Zbig impeach, Chinese girl baby, Are You Really Filipino?, Chernobyl

roadtosurfdom .. The private mortuary firm that mishandled the body of Private Kovco is none other than Kenyon International, self-styled “world’s leading disaster management company”, and full-time Bush crony capitalists.
Raw Story has the skinny, but to refresh your memories, Kenyon’s Parent company, SCI, came to public attention when it...

how crappy are Kenyon's plywood coffins? Aint contracters grand?

More on Bradley & Lander & Embryonic stem cells: cell
eurekalert - We may actually have a Science based method to identify and possibly even modify stem cells. Up to now, with clones like Dolly, we have been operating in a barely-scientific way, jolt cells with an electric charge, and hope they become pluripotent. No idea really what is happening at a molecular level, just shock it and see. The existence of networks of multiple feedback regulators seems to be a characteristic of life. It seems possible to me that these networks are so complicated that we may never be able to mimic them. It may need those hundreds of millions of years of evolution to assemble such complicated systems. It may not be possible to fiddle with them in a lab in a timescale of a few years. Total biological control, nanobots... such things may be impossible.
The immune system may also be a hard problem - in recent years unexpected massive reactions have marred at least 2 'experiments'. "Suck it and see" may never produce medically useful results. Hope I'm wrong

1. In the absence of an imminent threat (with the Iranians at least several years away from having a nuclear arsenal), the attack would be a unilateral act of war.
If undertaken without formal Congressional declaration, it would be unconstitutional and merit the impeachment of the president.

thinkprogress It’s facinating that, according to Goldberg and Mirengoff, the way to establish “credibility and integrity” is to call President Bush “an embarassment” and “impotent.”

Chernobyl guardian
"At least 500,000 people - perhaps more - have already died out of the 2 million people who were officially classed as victims of Chernobyl in Ukraine," said Nikolai Omelyanets, deputy head of the National Commission for Radiation Protection in Ukraine. "[Studies show] that 34,499 people who took part in the clean-up of Chernobyl have died in the years since the catastrophe. The deaths of these people from cancers was nearly three times as high as in the rest of the population.
"We have found that infant mortality increased 20% to 30% because of chronic exposure to radiation after the accident. All this information has been ignored by the IAEA and WHO
