Bad News
http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/05/14/beck.collegeendowment/index.html

Good news... hmmm, good news, good news... well crap. Does this count?
http://www.cnn.com/2008/TECH/05/15/robotic.soldier.ap/index.html

This development comes not a moment too soon. Now that we have the exo-frames, they just need to start working on those assault weapon systems.

I got dibs on the air assault package!

Oh man, The Centurions--that brings back *old* memories...

...but I heard about the technology from a different article(here).

Any good news would be dwarfed by this horrible news:

I heard about this, I know a couple cops. They all find the tasering appalling, and uncalled for. The kid couldn't do anything except say something, thats not a threat.

Good News:

Advances in Stem Cell research!
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080808/ap_on_sc/sci_stem_cells_diseases
The good news isn't just in that these particular lines of stem cells can be used to research those (unfortunately unlisted) ten diseases, but also that the scientists were able to get normal, adult, cells to behave as stem cells. That is a required step in developing patient-specific stem cell treatments; imagine getting a transplant organ that doesn't require you to take immunosuppressant drugs because the heart has been grown from your own cells!

Bad News:

Russia and Georgia are at it again.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/europe/08/08/georgia.ossetia/index.html
