STOCKHOLM: British physiologist Robert Edwards, whose work led to the first “test tube baby”, won the 2010 Nobel prize for medicine or physiology, the prize-awarding institute said on Monday.
Sweden’s Karolinska Institute lauded Edwards, 85, for bringing joy to infertile people all over the world.
Known as the father of in-vitro fertilization (IVF), Edwards picked up the prize of 10 million Swedish crowns ($1.5 million) for what the institute called a “milestone in the development of modern medicine”.
As many as 4 million babies have been born since the first IVF baby in 1978 as a result of the techniques Edwards developed, together with a now-deceased colleague, Patrick Steptoe, the institute said in a statement.
The pair soldiered on despite opposition from churches, governments and many in the media, as well as scepticism from scientific

WASHINGTON: An explosion ripped through an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico on Thursday dumping 13 people into the water, one of whom was injured, the US Coast Guard said.
“All 13 are accounted for and they are all wearing some sort of an immersion suit that protects them from the water,” Coast Guard chief petty officer John Edwards told MSNBC.
Nine helicopters had been dispatched to the rig 80 miles (130 kilometers) south of Vermilion Bay in Louisiana, the spokesman said, adding the extent of any injuries suffered by the workers was not immediately clear.
Four Coast Guard cutters were also en route to the rig, said to be owned by Mariner Energy, and which was reportedly still ablaze.
“Right now we”re focused on search and rescue and then, ultimately, as this thing progresses we”re going to be looking into the cause,” Edwards added.
The blast comes more than four months after an explosion ripped through the BP-leased Deepwater Horizon rig, some 50 miles (80 kilometers) off Louisiana, killing 11 workers and unleashing an environmental catastrophe.

Annette Edwards, Jessica Rabbit in flesh and bones: Jessica Rabbit ranks high in the top of anyone’s list of most erotic cartoon characters.

Annette Edwards loves dressing up and trying to look like Jessica Rabbit. “I’ve always loved the cartoon character. I just think she’s a very sexy cartoon, or woman. With curves in the right places.”
Annette Edwards stressed that the idea came from her obsession with the fictional starlet from the 1988 comedy. “I’d always been fascinated with the cartooon character Jessica Rabbit,” told Annette to the ITV program “This Morning.” “I thought she was stunning, and for years I longed to look like my idol,” added Annette Edwards

Andrew Young John Edwards
Andrew Young John Edwards, Another player in the John Edwards love child drama is speaking out, telling editors he feels betrayed by the once-friendly Edwards family. Campaign worker Andrew Young who claimed to be the father of Rielle Hunter’s child and was paid to take her into his home for eight months is shopping a tell-all book proposal dishing about the sex scandal.
Elizabeth Edwards’ memoir may not be the only book John Edwards has to worry about. Last week, Andrew Young, a lifelong friend of Edwards and a longtime aide, began shopping a book to New York publishers; according to his proposal, represented by David McCormick at McCormick Williams, the book would chronicle the tale of his long friendship with the Edwards family, his attempt to help Edwards by taking a pregnant Rielle Hunter into his home to live with him and his wife, Cheri, and their three children, and the fallout when the press (and Elizabeth Edwards) caught wind of the plan.

Braylon Edwards Traded to Jets
Braylon edwards jets, Adam Schefter is reporting on ESPN (via FanHouse) that the Jets have traded for Braylon Edwards.
Edwards had a good year in 2007, and he bested Darrelle Revis in that Browns-Jets game, if you remember. Edwards is one of those frustrating guys, who has all the talent in the world, but seems to either not want to, or not care to play football to his full abilities. Edwards seems more concerned with how he looks, where he parties and what his Q rating is. Still this trade has been talked about for months and months, so where there’s smoke, eventually there’s going to be fire.
Whatever the Jets gave up, it better not be in expectation of what value he could bring to the team, but rather what his current value is. The Browns probably decided to let Edwards go after his incident with a teammate on Sunday, and then with Bron Bron’s entourage later Sunday night / Monday morning. It was time for Mangini to part ways with Braylon, but good for the Jets, his value couldn’t be lower.
Until proven otherwise, I think that Edwards is a punk, but nevertheless, a talented punk. This trade reminds me of the Latrell Sprewell days as a Knick. Before he played for my team, I hated him, once he was dropping 25 a game, he was my man.
I’d not be surprised if Brad Smith isn’t involved in the compensation of this deal. Still, even if there isn’t a player going back to Cleveland, it will likely be one of those squishy valued escalating value picks that Tannenbaum likes to use. Still, I’ll be mad if the team paid more than a third rounder for Braylon Edwards, who is at the nadir of his career right now.

Hudson River plane crash video
Hudson River plane crash video, Just days after authorities completed the recovery efforts of the nine victims and plane wreckage in the Hudson River, new video of the collision has come out.
The single-engine plane was hit by a helicopter, sending both aircrafts into the river. The plane, a Piper Saratoga PA-32, was found lying on its side at the bottom of the river.
The collision has led to calls for more restrictions on use of airspace around Manhattan – and two air traffic controllers have been removed from duty for having a conversation.

Cris Cyborg Santos
Cris Cyborg Santos, Cris Cyborg Santos and Gina Carano’s fight has created a buzz across the MMA world. Even those people who don’t have any knowledge of martial art are also being drawn into it due to Gina Carano’s great looks.
The organizers are promoting the fight as the biggest fight in the history of women’s mixed martial arts.
One of the big reasons that Cyborg vs. Carano is such a big fight, of course, is that Carano has become a star and a sex symbol beyond just the world of MMA. But Cyborg has a message for Carano on that count.
She says, “Beauty doesn’t win a fight”.
“What wins a fight is training hard, working hard, and that’s what I do: Train hard every time. Being pretty or not is not the point. The point is she’s the No. 1 fighter, and that’s what I’m going for.”
So will Santos come on top of Carano in the fight slated to be held tomorrow or Carano will continue to dominate the fight as she has done in the past will be known when the result is out. So wait till the fight begins.
John Edwards Baby
John Edwards Baby, After months of adamantly denying that he fathered Rielle Hunter’s 18-month old baby girl Frances, John Edwards is set to admit he is, indeed, the baby daddy.
Hunter testified Thursday morning before a grand jury to answer questions about money she received by the Edwards campaign to film a behind-the-scenes look at the candidate, in an ongoing criminal investigation to determine whether this was “hush money” to keep quiet about her affair with the former presidential candidate.
Edwards admitted to an affair with Hunter, but maintained their romance ended in 2006, and has always denied that the former campaign aide’s daughter is his love child.
In the latest news, sources say Edwards will admit he is the baby’s father. His public admission is expected to come before the end of the criminal investigation, and comes on the heels of reports that he secretly underwent a DNA test, confirming paternity.
