Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)

MAASTRICHT, Netherlands – Worried that the current level of meat production in the world is not sustainable, Mark Post, a vascular biologist at the University of Maastricht, is working on growing a lab grown cheeseburger by using 3,000 thin strips of meat in a petri dish, then pack them together with some lab-grown fat.

But because 'cultured meat' contains no blood, the flesh will be pale, like a scallop. This is not going to be on a value meal any time soon, as Dr Post estimates the finished product is likely to cost upwards of $300,000.

"The first one will be grown in an academic lab, by highly trained academic staff. It's handmade and time and labour intensive, that's why it's so expensive to produce," he said.

'Cultured meat' begins with stem cells harvested from slaughterhouse leftovers.
Dr Post nurtures the cells with a liquid feed containing sugars, protein building-blocks, fats, minerals and other nutrients.

So far he has produced strips of meat 2.5cm long. Like muscle, these need to be exercised to grow - by stretching them repeatedly between Velcro tabs.

"The first one will be a proof of concept, just to show it's possible," he said.

Only a scientist would create a 300,000 dollar burger because meat production is not sustainable.

Free State, SOUTH AFRICA – Marius Els had an unusual pet. A Hippo. The South African man had adopted Humphrey the Hippo as a calf and he built a bond with him that enabled the former army major to ride on his back, feed him and even brush his teeth.

Supreme Master Television is an international, non-profit channel airing constructive news and programs that foster peace and promote healthy, green living. (Clip 36)

However, there is a reason that the hippo is regarded as one of the most aggressive creatures in the world.

Humphrey, who weighs over a ton, bit Marius Els, dragged him into the water and killed him on his 400-acre farm in South Africa. The man's mutilated body was found submerged in the river where years earlier the creature had been rescued from a flood.

The 40-year-old farmer, who said the animal was like a "son" to him, was confirmed dead by medics early on Sunday morning.
CORAM, N.Y. – A New York man wearing a T-shirt declaring "I'm a drunk" is facing DWI charges after a collision with a police car.

Suffolk County police arrested 23-year-old Kevin Daly of Coram. They say he crashed into an officer's vehicle at about 1:45 a.m. Thursday. The officer was treated for minor injuries.

Daly, who is unemployed, was wearing the T-shirt in a mug shot provided by police. It reads: "I'm not an alcoholic / I'm a drunk / Alcoholics go to meetings."

Something to Think About
1. How confusing would signing your credit card be if your name was See Id?
2. A recent survey by the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers found that Facebook is cited in one in five divorces in the United States. 
3. Lifestyle guru Martha Stewart is on high alert at home whenever the skies cloud over — she has been struck by lightning three times while hiding out from storms.
Stewart has lived to survive a series of frightening electrical shocks, while cooking and making crafts around her homes in New England.
Recalling the incidents, she says, “I was hit in a little house in Littlefield, Mass., while I was standing at the sink. … I was washing dishes and it hit me in my stomach.
“The second time, I was talking … on the telephone and light came through my skylight in Westport, Conn. (Another time) I was holding on to a metal stand. I let go and the lightning came back out through my foot.”
But Stewart has brushed off the shocking occurrences, and insists her body is simply a bizarre conductor of electricity.
She adds, “Some people attract electrical things, I do. … You can get electrocuted and not die.”
4. It annoys me that Peter Pan is always played by women.
5. Other letters than O or X for Tic Tac Toe
6. Dyson air blade
7. I don’t think I could ever have a snake as a pet, because all I’d want to do is tie it in a knot.
