Sheep Have Been Cloned...Are Humans Next?
Do you enjoy watching forensic science shows like CSI? Are you interested in genetics and the intricacies of DNA? Genetic engineering that deals with the human genome and DNA has become a hot bed for discussion in recent years. Advancements in forensic science have helped law enforcement to nab criminals and solve previous “cold” cases. Understanding the components of the human body and human nature is valuable information that is a welcome notion of safety for most.
While many would agree that using DNA as evidence is a good idea, manipulating human genetics is another issue. Cloning h ...

Hazing: Child Play or Violent Crime?
On a startling Court TV program, Al Roker investigated the horrors of 'hazing' reportedly not only in College sororities and fraternities, but even in high schools across the country. The program was extremely revealing and shocking as it provided a weatlh of information regarding so-called Greek 'hazing' rituals carried out across this Nation. Unfortunately, hazing is a predominant force among colleges, schools, military and even church groups, that it is blatantly out of control. Often, supposed 'leaders' or participants of ...

"Matched," a short story based on the novel, is available online. [...] The University Bookstore's main branch is at 4326 University Way NE, Seattle, WA 98105 [...] This event is co-sponsored by the Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs, City of Seattle."
Can we influence the future, or is it pre-determined?
I've been getting more involved with The da Vinci Institute (they're a sponsor for my upcoming Blog Smart! Business Blogging Workshop) and last night I had dinner with Thomas Frey, the head of the Institute. We had a fascinating and quite compelling discussion about how what we do today can influence the future, and I've been thinking about that ever since.

We’re back from the 2005 nationals, held in Oklahoma City. We were competing, as usual, in only Open Halter Events.

These classes represented the culmination of the best breeding programs built on the best efforts of horsemen and women since this breed’s conception. These horses proudly carry the genetics and baton of inspiration for the future as a breed.
Not everyone rehearses their losses. Embarrassingly, it was no ...
