Developed by a biomedical company, "Vavelta" is a clear liquid, made from millions of microscopic new skin cells cultured from babies' foreskins, which is then injected into the skin to treat wrinkles, sun damage, and scars.

Meanwhile, in space...

 

 

Kennedy Space Center, Florida - The Endeavour astronauts outfitted the International Space Station with new crew quarters Wednesday as preparations for the second of four spacewalks continue aboard the orbiting outpost. At the same time, a space spider was weaving a tangled, disorganized web in a student experment that unfolded on the joined shuttle-station complex. The orbital arachnid seemed to have lost its sense of symmetry.

ISTR that arachnids and other insects can't go to ginormous proportions because their structure will be unable to support their weight. However, considering there's no gravity in space, then is it possible to breed massive, 40-foot tall spiders in space? Imagine that....

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (Reuters) - People in a vast seismic zone in the southern and midwestern United States would face catastrophic damage if a major earthquake struck there and should ensure that builders keep that risk in mind, a government report said on Thursday.

 

The Federal Emergency Management Agency said if earthquakes strike in what geologists define as the New Madrid Seismic Zone, they would cause "the highest economic losses due to a natural disaster in the United States."

Japanese millionaire Daisuke Enomoto had planned to dress up as his favourite cartoon character in outer space and spent $US21 million ($A34.49 million) to make it happen. Now he claims the company that was supposed to make his dream come true brushed him aside with little more than a "sorry, no refunds."

 

A federal judge heard arguments on Friday in Enomoto's lawsuit against Virginia-based Space Adventures, a firm that made its name brokering deals with the Russian space agency to put half a dozen "space tourists" in orbit for fees of $US20 million ($A32.85 million) or more.

 

Space Adventures wants the lawsuit thrown out, saying that Enomoto was disqualified because of a chronic kidney-stone condition. They say his money is non-refundable.

 

Enomoto claims the kidney stones were an excuse and that he was not allowed to launch in part because he refused Space Adventures' demands for more money.

 

Enomoto, an eccentric entrepreneur who planned to dress up as anime character Char Aznable, had plans to be the first tourist to do a spacewalk. He spent most of eight months at the Star City training facility near Moscow in 2006 preparing for his flight.

 

But as disputes arose over how much money Enomoto owed, he was medically disqualified because of his kidney-stone condition. He was replaced by Anousheh Ansari, who became the world's first female space tourist.

 

Earlier that year, Space Adventures had announced a joint venture with an investment firm founded by the Ansari family. Enomoto claims that he was constantly pressured to invest in Space Adventures while he was a client, and that he was bounced in favour of Ansari in part because the Ansaris agreed to investments that Enomoto refused.

 

Space Adventures lawyer John Villa said that Enomoto refused doctors' advice to treat the kidney stones aggressively and was well aware throughout the process that the kidney stones could disqualify him.

 

Villa also said that if Space Adventures provided refunds for medical disqualifications, any would-be space tourist with cold feet could simply provoke a medical disqualification, and collect their payments.

 

Enomoto's lawyers declined to make their client available for an interview. A Space Adventures spokeswoman also declined comment.

 

US District Judge James Cacheris will rule later on Space Adventures' motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

Mountain goat charges N. Idaho home

- The Associated Press

Edition Date: 11/21/08

 

ATHOL, Idaho — Firefighters in northern Idaho relied on back up from the Kootenai County Sheriff's Office while fighting off a mountain goat that charged and damaged an Athol home.

 

Jack Krill, chief of the Timberlake Fire Protection District, says the horned intruder tore off the screen of a glass door at the home and then charged at it on Thursday.

 

Firefighters found the goat standing on the back porch, where it refused to leave.

 

A Kootenai County sheriff deputy finally convinced the animal to move by nudging it with a stick.* The mountain goat wandered back into the nearby woods with a few small cuts on its face.

 

The homeowner was unharmed.

It sounds like just another uber-meltable cheese product, but Vavelta is actually miles away from anything you'd want to put in your mouth. It's a radical new treatment for facial pitting, scarring, and wrinkles made out of—what else?—newborns' foreskins. Foreskins have long been treasured by cosmetic dermatologists because they are rich in fibroblasts, tiny cells that play a crucial role in healing wounds and generating collagen and connective tissue. (One foreskin can be bioengineered into a piece of lab-grown skin the size of a football field.) The makers of Vavelta extract them by finely dicing the foreskins and treating them with enzymes. Then the fibroblasts are suspended in a proprietary cell storage medium and injected into "problem areas" with a fine gauge needle.

 

Jeezus, I guess the conspiracy theorists were right. The Jews really are trying to take over the world, one football field sized foreskin at a time.

France: Court Rejects Lawsuit Over Voodoo Doll

By KATRIN BENNHOLD

NYT

October 30, 2008

 

The French are literally poking fun at President Nicolas Sarkozy, but he is not amused. On Wednesday, a court threw out a lawsuit that the president filed last week seeking to prevent a voodoo doll made in his image from remaining on sale. Mr. Sarkozy decided to appeal the decision, drawing ridicule from his critics on Thursday. It is his sixth lawsuit this year. The doll, which went on sale on Oct. 9, became a best-selling cult item as soon as the president tried to have it banned; it comes with 12 pins and a manual explaining how to put a curse on him.

So why does the Kremlin guard, which is made up of former spies and elite troops who protect President Vladimir Putin, want to buy so many female white mice?
