Coming together

The sound in the Chamber Wednesday

My two pieces of pocket lint for this one, if HALF of the people I know gave politics as much attention as they've given the Zimmerman program.... who am I kidding. I should be happy it's not a Kardashian or the third guy voted off of a Survivor program getting a DUI. Or Snookie having a child- what? That's real?

Church and Science Mixer Cancelled

Daylife
"The Vatican has abruptly cancelled a controversial stem-cell conference that was set to be attended by the Pope next month." [more]
Wanna know why?

“I think the only interpretation is that we are being censored. It is very disappointing that they are unwilling to hear the truth,” says Alan Trounson, president of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine in San Francisco. He had hoped to provide a “balanced perspective” on the potential clinical applications of stem cells, both adult and embryonic.
