Scientists claim early success in human cloning
A Boston based firm Advanced Cell Technology announced cloning the first human embryo to obtain immuno compatible cells for therapy. The claim drew swift protests from religious and political leaders. California and other states have bans and Congress weighs similar action. Researchers insist the work aims to help spinal injuries and heart disease, not birth a cloned human. The National Right to Life Committee condemned the move as creating embryos to harvest cells.

Public boat ramp planned at Cotton Bayou project details
Comments are invited to the U S Army Corps of Engineers regulatory branch in Galveston about access channel improvements in Cotton Bayou for a boat ramp. Wallace notes the county will lease land from the Corps, aims to complete construction within four months after permits, and the total cost is about 500000 dollars with a 350000 dollar state grant received last year. The site is slated to include a pavilion and nature trails, totaling about three quarters of a mile of development to become Old River Lake's only working ramp.

Who Is Responsible When Obstructions Block Intersections
The article notes that drivers on major public roads have the right of way over those entering from side streets or private property. A court trial would decide liability for any obstruction such as a bush, building, or parked vehicle that hides an imminent collision at intersections like West Houston and Main Street.
