Researchers Discover Gene That Blocks HIV 333

stemceller writes to tell us that a team of researchers at the University of Alberta claims to have discovered a gene capable of blocking HIV thereby preventing the onset of full blown AIDS. "Stephen Barr, a molecular virologist in the Department of Medical Microbiology and Immunology, says his team has identified a gene called TRIM22 that can block HIV infection in a cell culture by preventing the assembly of the virus. 'When we put this gene in cells, it prevents the assembly of the HIV virus," said Barr, a postdoctoral fellow. "This means the virus cannot get out of the cells to infect other cells, thereby blocking the spread of the virus.'"

um.. No. Marriage is a covenant between God and man. It is not a business contract and by the covenant with god you state that you're wife and you are one body and flesh and all property and assets are between the both are considered as one. God implemented divorce if the woman was the guilty party and she would most often be stoned to death and if not left with no assets at all.

          With the new covenant with Jesus he discouraged divorce all together saying the father only gave the option cause men where hard at heart towards each other and it was to appease man and was not apart of marriages original design by God.

If you consider that marriage is to combine two as one flesh, you would understand that a prenuptial agreement tries to undermine God design. It is a attempt to make it more like a contract to protect ones assets from their poor decisions they make in choosing a partner as a direct result of the inability to hear Gods will in thier lives.

You can say all you want about it, but marriage was created in the garden of Eden, so unless you have written text that is dated beyond that time you don't really have a argument otherwise.

Database Finds Fugitive After 35 Years 459

Hugh Pickens writes "The Guardian has a story on a woman who was claims she is innocent and was apprehended 35 years after escaping prison by a computer database created by the Department of Homeland Security. Linda Darby was convicted of killing her husband in 1970 and sentenced to life at an Indiana prison but escaped two years later by climbing over a barbed-wire fence at the Indiana Women's Prison. She knocked on a stranger's door in Indianapolis, telling the woman who answered that her cuts and scratches were from a fight with her boyfriend. In Indianapolis she met the man who would become her third husband and moved to his hometown of Pulaski, where they raised their two children and watched eight grandchildren grow up. As Linda Jo McElroy, she used a similar date of birth and social security number to her real ones which allowed a computer database created by the Department of Homeland Security to identify her. Darby says she is innocent and fled prison because she did not want to serve time for another person's crime."
