Saying this encryption, described in a ZDNet article, is uncrackable is naive. It’s just not crackable YET.

Oldest bird clocks 5 million miles
"One of the world’s oldest living wild birds is marking its golden jubilee by preparing to breed again.
The Manx shearwater — a far-flying gull-like seabird — was probably born in 1952 and is thought to have clocked up about five million miles in the air."
No Drilling in Alaska
Here are two news stories and one op-ed from Yahoo! about the recent resolution of this environmental issue.

Stem Cells (part 2)
Here's a news story related to the previous post .
First successful human stem cell treatment for heart disease uses adult stem cells
"The first reports of successful treatment for heart disease using the patient's own adult muscle stem cells are encouraging news regarding therapy after heart attack. French physiciansimplanted skeletal muscle stem cells back into the patient; the encouraging result after eight months' follow- up underlines the potential of this new approach using adult stem cells. Furtherclinical trials are now underway in Europe and the U.S. for other patients with heart disease. No
embryonic stem cells have ever been reported to be used in human trials. A review of potential heart treatments notes that cell transplantation is a potential therapeuticapproach for patients with chronic heart failure. Experimental transplantation of muscle cellsshowed that the grafted cells can functionally integrate with and augment the function of the recipient heart. The scientists note that skeletal stem cells are abundant and can be graftedsuccessfully into the animal's own heart even after genetic manipulation in vitro."
Stem Cell Debate
The embryonic research lobby would like you to think that every scientist thinks that embryonic stem cell research and cloning is critical to curing diseases. Think again: Do No Harm, named after the first line of the traditional Hippocratic oath (that is, the oath that still has the prohibition against abortion), has great stuff on the arguments for adult stem cell research and the oft-ignored moral and technical difficulties with embryonic research and cloning.
