"Using a new technique which takes adult cells back to their embryonic form, US researchers at the Salk Institute in California, showed it was possible to reverse ageing in mice, allowing the animals to not only look younger, but live for 30 per cent longer."

I think it's really good science has gotten so far that it is today because it helps us learn new things and better things and I think it will definitely keep advancing in the future.

This could help millions of people on earth. If the body can stay younger for longer it decreases the chances of ageing related diseases.

"Jack Phillips is the owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colo. Oral arguments for Masterpiece Cakeshop v. CO Civil Rightswill be heard Tuesday. "

To clarify, this article published in USToday was an editorial written BY the baker in this case to give his side. Also a good video with both sides explaining their views https://goo.gl/73fXsW Although I didn't find an article written by the couple, here is another NYTimes story which has some of the legal issues explained from their side. https://goo.gl/sAacw4

this is stupid it should not made who is getting married to who if they want a cake they should get one

Personally, I think every day is a step forward in going back to our normal lives. We should be more hopeful and optimistic.

I think that we need to ease back into "normal" and this is still very far. People shoulnd't just believe that since things are starting to get better that they are.

Yeah things will get better but if people want it to get better quicker they should listen and get vaccinated, the covid vaccine has proven that it is safe and works.

It amazes me that people would even think this is a good idea. What are your thoughts?

This one of the stupidest things I've heard in a while. Why would anyone even think to do this? First off it's unsafe and hazardous and second just plain dumb. People need to not be greedy and just calm down with trying to hoard gas.

What? No way. Not only is that a selfish thing to do, but it's dangerous as well. This could be like the toilet paper incident from the beginning of last year but for southerners.

I can't imagine how many cases there are going to be in December when Christmas rolls around.

Many people are spending time with their families around this time so there was no doubt that cases would have gone up. I'm just surprised they went up so drastically and in such a short period.

we all suspected the rate of infection would go up during the holidays. meeting with people from all over the country definitely increases the amount of exposure a family can receive. people can choose to connect virtually instead of in person. it's not the same, but it decreases the exposure

I think this is for the best. The rising in Covid cases in Iowas and the midwest alone is ridiculous. I believe that these restrictions are for the betterment of getting the virus under control. Everyone needs to follow this limitation if we ever want to better next year. From the looks of it, this pandemic might continue for more than a year if we don't abide by the rules they are giving to help us.

hopefully, this helps the cases go down

I feel we need these new restrictions I think they are helpful and now people might take it more seriously

"State Auditor Rob Sand and the Treasury Department's Inspector General advised Reynolds her decision to use the funds for a new software system for the state was not allowed. Reynolds was directed to return the money to the Coronavirus Relief Fund and "redeploy them for allowable uses.""

updated 1:49 AM EST, Mon November 28, 2011 (CNN) -- A high school senior, who faces a Monday morning deadline to apologize to Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback for a disparaging tweet, has said she will not write the apology letter.

at least she was voicing her opinion. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

she shouldn't even have to apologize for anything like freedom of expression so she has all right to post what ever she wants on twitter isn't that what it was made for to post things your thinking of or your opinion on something

"Jeff Landry, an employee in Sapulpa, Okla., plans to join the protest. He works from 4 to 9 p.m. after attending school all day. When he was scheduled for a shift during class, Landry complained. He says his managers responded by cutting his hours from 40 to below 30 a week. This meant that Landry was no longer eligible for health care, since Wal-Mart requires workers to work an average of 30 hours per week to get benefits. "They tried all these tactics to get rid of me," he said."

protesting is legal only if its non-violent so I think the had a right to go on strike.

Civil Disobedience!

good because some people dont get payed enough for how hard they work which is not always fair and right

Minimum wage is based on cost of living. No one can virtually live off of minimum wage. I know of several people who have two minimum wage jobs and work all the time but still are barely getting by. I understand this is what welfare is for but I also believe that if we raised the min wage to $9 more people would be off welfare and this would be an economy booster. Also the Minimum wage should be adjusted due to the fact that it hasn't been changed for a while.

i think it is a good thing to bump it up to 9 because there is no way you can live off of minimum wage i mean think what if you go to the hospital no way you can pay the bills for that and suppply food for your house no way to live

First point: I fail to see how denying a single cell the chance to go through mitosis is abortion. It's no more aware than bacteria. Also, the author is referencing the morning-after pill. For some reason there's a lot of confusion about how the morning after pill actually works. It prevents the egg from joining the sperm, or depending on where the woman is in her cycle, prevents the ovaries from releasing eggs. Contrary to what pro-life proponents apparently believe, conception does not happen immediately after having sex. If using the morning-after pill is abortion, we may as well call abstinence abortion. Secondly, "the mandate requires private citizens who are also employers to purchase private goods (health insurance services) with private money from non-government companies." This is clearly written by a sensationalist. What it really means is that a company has to use its own money to provide healthcare. (And everyone seems to be Forgetting that employees don't just receive healthcare plans For free). There is a difference between being a private citizen and being an employer. Owning a public company and employing people is about as far from private as you can get. "Requiring private citizens to pay For abortifacients is more akin to requiring the Amish to use their own money to purchase weapons from a private gun dealer or be Forced into bankruptcy. Or kind of like Forcing anti-pornography legal scholar Catharine MacKinnon to buy pornography For her law students." This is simply ludicrous and shows that the author clearly doesn't understand what a business is. It's a corporation, it employees people, it isn't a private citizen. I will admit that if Hobby Lobby employed only people who were in complete agreement with the beliefs of the owners I would support them in their case. However, the reality is that many of Hobby Lobby's employees don't share the exact same beliefs as the owner. And it would in fact be illegal For Hobby Lobby to choose their employ

ees because of their beliefs. And the last time I checked, in America we don't make people follow certain religions or beliefs. In fact, the law isn't supposed to be based in religion. I know it sounds shocking, but it actually isn't okay to force a religion on people, or to make everyone live in accordance with one belief system, which is exactly what Hobby Lobby, and everyone who argues against this provision in the new health care law, is trying to do. Lastly, the author says repeatedly that this law essentially discriminates against Christians, which is a complete lie. Christians is a broad term. There are Christians who believe in all kinds of birth control and then there are those who think all birth control should be outlawed. There are even Christians who get abortions. So, and this is a message to anyone who writes articles of this kind, stop saying just saying Christians. Tell the truth and call yourself a Fundamentalist. Saying Christians make it seem like the majority of people who believe in Jesus Christ agree with you, and they don't. You're a minority, and you need to accept that. And maybe read a little about how our government works. It's a majority rules system.

This is crazy how could someone sue their wife for having an ugly baby? I don't think the court should allow this to even be a case..

This is wrong because a lot of baby's are not cute when they are born but at the same time some are.

Lololololol. What? Just because the woman is "ugly" doesn't mean the baby's appearance is entirely her fault. It was his sperm along with her egg. His DNA and hers. Wouldn't that make him partially responsible? This case shouldn't have even been allowed to go to court.

"Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte is known for his outspoken comments and controversial governing style."

It was a very unprofessional thing to say, especially about a fellow leader. Even if you disagree with someone that was taken out of hand.

That Philippines President Duterte needs to loosen up, he has bad thoughts about everyone, and says them out loud, whether they're a common citizen or a leader, and he's proving himself to be dangerous to others. He said, "You drug pushers, hold-up men and do-nothings, you better go out. Because I'd kill you." He also raped a woman of her dignity after she was dead saying, "What a pity...they raped her, they all lined up. I was mad she was raped, but she was so beautiful. I thought, the mayor should have been first." He called both President Obama and the Pope something inappropriate.

"A Texas elector said Monday that enough is enough -- he will not cast his vote for President-elect Donald Trump as part of the Electoral College process on December 19."

Although they have the right to choose and refuse to vote, this is the reason that some people don't vote, because the electoral college can just ignore the majority vote and do whatever. Although they should have the right to vote how they want, if they do there will probably be less people who feel like they made a difference in the process.

This is not right at all the people want Donald Trump as president. People spoke they want Donald. If they really do represent there state maybe they should cast there vote even if they like Trump or not. This is getting old they need to get over it. Trump is our president.

If you haven't signed up for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act, you are running out of time. You have until Tuesday, Jan. 31, to apply for 2017 coverage through state and federal marketplaces. More than 11.5 million people have signed up for insurance through the exchanges as of Jan.

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the chairwoman of the House Republican Conference, announced her support for Donald Trump's presidential campaign late Wednesday, leaving House Speaker Paul D. Ryan as the last major GOP leader on Capitol Hill not to back Trump. I think she is right. Trump has one people over for speaking his mind, but now he has to show that he has the "temperament for the job."

One of the most important jobs of the president is to form diplomatic relationships with other countries. Given Trump's plans for solving the debt crisis and building his infamous wall, it seems unlikely that he would be able to work well with other countries. I believe that it is foolish to back Trump for president because he is all over the board and has yet to prove he is capable of such a position.

I think she refused to debate because she knew she would lose

Thats horrible! Whats happening to everyone? How can someone be so dumb? So sad

Shows how desperate people are these days..

7000 wouldn't even cover the costs of child birth. Come on profit margin...

President Obama will ask the Labor Department on Thursday to issue tougher rules on overtime, which could lead to extra pay for millions of workers who aren't currently paid for extra hours of work.

I like that he is going to attempt at raising overtime pay and issuing tougher enforcement for them. Most people who work overtime because they probably need to get the extra money. The only downside to this raise I currently see just from what the article stated is how there will be a possibility of the companies and businesses possibly laying off workers to keep up with their own income.

Good job, Obama!

(CNN) -- A Connecticut judge could set bond for Michael Skakel on Thursday, paving the way for the possible release of the Kennedy relative, who has spent more than a decade in prison for the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley.

(CNN) -- Michael Skakel, a Kennedy relative convicted of the 1975 murder of a 15-year-old neighbor, walked out of a Connecticut courthouse Thursday on bail. A Connecticut judge set bail at $1.2 million for Skakel, whose murder conviction in the death of Martha Moxley was vacated last month after a judge decided he did not receive adequate representation in his 2002 trial.
