BlogShares RIP... (Dec 03 2003 23:26 GMT) - It was fun while it lasted, but it looks like BlogShares, the fantasy stock market for blogs, has bit the dust. It was a cool idea that I'm sure helped both entertain and promote blogging, and its creator, Seyed Razavi, is to be congratulated for his efforts. |

For gays, divorce may soon be a useful right (Dec 03 2003 23:25 GMT) - "As the Supreme Judicial Court decision allowing same-sex marriage was being hailed as a huge victory for gay and lesbian couples, largely lost in the celebration was recognition of an equally powerful benefit that flows from the ruling: the right to divorce. 'People aren't coming out to celebrate the right to divorce,' said Suzanne Goldberg, a professor at Rutgers School of Law in Newark. 'But it may turn out that the right to divorce is as important to celebrate as the right to marry.'" (12/03 |

Snowplow operators detail grievances over new state rules (Dec 03 2003 23:25 GMT) - "While commuters stewed in the traffic jams triggered by snow squalls yesterday morning, some 200 snowplow operators staged a protest on Beacon Hill, saying they are hard-working 'first responders' who make the roads safe in winter, but are being treated unfairly by the state. With two large plow-equipped dumptrucks draped in banners and delayed because several people were stuck in traffic, the snowplow operators marched in front of the State House steps before filing inside to tell lawmakers th |

Utah polygamist cites SCOTUS ruling (Dec 03 2003 23:25 GMT) - "A Utah man with five wives is in court fighting to get his bigamy conviction overturned on the basis of the U.S. Supreme Court's June ruling that decriminalized homosexual relations. The legal action by polygamist Tom Green in the Utah Supreme Court seems to confirm predictions of a Republican lawmaker and other social conservatives who warned that the high court's decision would open the door to attempts to legalize other sexual activities that historically have been outlawed by states, such a |

Texas researchers test new cancer treatment (Dec 03 2003 23:25 GMT) - "Researchers in Texas are using a cold virus and a protein produced in cancer patients to create what they hope could be a more effective cancer treatment than those available today. Though the procedure has only been tested on a few humans, doctors say they hope to train a person's own body to kill cancerous tumors. In the process, a drug called Advexin (search) is added to a component of a cancer patient's blood called dendritic cells, which are the commanders of the immune system." (12/03/03 |

Panda Matchmaking (Dec 03 2003 23:22 GMT) - Nothing is more exciting than hearing about the lengths we humans will go to to ensure the future of pandas. One of Mexico's female pandas, Shuan Shuan, was shipped to Japan in hopes that she and Ueno Zoo's Ling Ling will mate successfully. That is because there is nothing better than the pitter-patter of panda paws. Reuters reports that Shuan Shuan was chosen because "she got on best with him" during Ling Lng's visit. But as you can see from our panda mating special, females pandas rarely get on top. |
