Legalizing child pornography is linked to lower rates of child sex abuse: study
http://www.physorg.com/news/2010-11-legalizing-child-pornography-linked-sex.html
Obviously I'm still against creating IRL child porn, but I'd go out on a limb as say this might be helpful for the loli community.

Public justice by the cheated-on wife. Daaaaaayuuuum.

Public justice indeed. But I didn't enjoy watching that at all.
edit: And honestly, she should've done that to her husband. Third parties aren't obligated to not wreck homes. It's the married ones who shouldn't give in.

Not that I approve of any other physical attack other than martial arts stuff and sports, but she should've done that to her husband instead, what that suave old man above me said.
Besides that, am I the only one who thinks that she should still be charged for the assault?

She should definitely be charged for assault. They'll give her a lighter sentence though since it's a 'crime of passion'.

Yeah, same goes for parents who blame everyone else but their own kids for the kid's own fuckups. The husband is just as if not even more guilty than the mistress.

Another shining example of grave government incompetence. I didn't even know this until now (article was posted last July 31).

Stem Cell Transplant Cures HIV In 'Berlin Patient'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/14/hiv-cure-berlin-patient_n_796521.html
Quote:On the heels of World AIDS Day comes a stunning medical breakthrough: Doctors believe an HIV-positive man who underwent a stem cell transplant has been cured as a result of the procedure.
Timothy Ray Brown, also known as the "Berlin Patient," received the transplant in 2007 as part of a lengthy treatment course for leukemia. His doctors recently published a report in the journal Blood affirming that the results of extensive testing "strongly suggest that cure of HIV infection has been achieved."
Brown's case paves a path for constructing a permanent cure for HIV through genetically-engineered stem cells.

@Sforza
As much as I wish it were true, I'd wait until some of the science blogs I usually visit make their expert analysis of the experiment.
HuffPo isn't too popular with the science community due to their tendency to sensationalize research data.

There was another news stub somewhere about stem cells fixing monkey spinal injuries. Great stuff.

How much would getting all the presents in 12 Days of Christmas cost?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/11/29/AR2010112905500.html
Quote:If you had to buy all the gifts listed in the famous song "The 12 Days of Christmas," it would take a lot more than your allowance.
Every year, PNC Bank goes "shopping" for such uncommon gifts as a partridge in a pear tree, seven swans-a-swimming and nine ladies dancing. Then they figure out how much it would actually cost you to buy (or hire) all the items listed in the song.
This year, the answer is a staggering $96,824. That's up almost 11 percent over last year's price tag for everything in the song.
The bank gets its prices from various places. Retailer Gordon's Jewelers, for example, provided the price for five 14-karat gold rings. Pet supplies chain Petco provided the price for four canaries (calling birds), and the Pennsylvania Ballet came up with the cost for 10 lords-a-leaping.
The bank says the pricing exercise is a great way to teach people about economics.
