Mississippi wants to divert 600 million in grants for housing program to port expansion project. I hope someone gets elected out over this idea..
Military buildup in Guam for the next six years.
Kucinich abandons White House bid
Fed's rate cut has sparked a mortgage refinancing boom -- I hope people learned their lessons about balloon payments and all that.
A final without Federer or Nadal? Suddenly, the tennis world has just opened up again. (of course, I'm still in mourning for the Agassi/Sampras era).
Liver transplant patient changes blood types after transplant. I'm a little puzzled that the doctors are so confused here (well, sort of - I know med schools in America teach crap immunology, so maybe that's universal). FYI, during fetal development, the liver actually contains all the stem cells in the body - these eventually migrate to the bone marrow; however, even later, small populations of fetal stem cells can be found in the liver. So liver transplant into a patient w/ low WBC would allow the donor stem cells to proliferate and lead to this sort of result.
Different attitudes to adolescent sexuality in the US and the Netherlands
No one likes Mitt. Of course, the more disturbing part of this piece is contemplating a McCain/Huckabee ticket. *shudders* I amend my past promise -- If Huckabee is anywhere in the White House, I'm immigrating somewhere else.
