South Korea deploys cloned drug-sniffing dogs

SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has put cloned dogs on patrol to sniff out drugs at customs. Six genetic duplicates of a single Labrador retriever have been working at the country's main Incheon international airport and three other customs checkpoints to deter drug smuggling after completing 16 months of training, the Korea Customs Service said in a statement Sunday.

They are part of a litter of seven born in 2007 through cloning a skilled drug-sniffing canine in active service. They were all named "Toppy" — a combination of the words "tomorrow" and "puppy" — but one dropped out of training due to an injury.

The cloning work was conducted by a team of Seoul National University scientists who in 2005 successfully created the world's first known dog clone, an Afghan hound named Snuppy.

Leading the team was Prof. Lee Byeong-chun, who was a key aide to disgraced cloning scientist Hwang Woo-suk, whose purported breakthroughs in stem cell research were revealed as false.

But independent tests later proved the team's dog cloning was genuine.

The agency has said using clones could help reduce costs due to the difficulties in finding dogs who are up to snuff for the critical task of sniffing out contraband. Only about three out every 10 naturally born dogs it trains end up qualifying for the job.

wow,talk about application chapters of biology o_O.

sounds noobish, but im happy i got an S for 2dae's periodicity test. (yes, mr lau marks as fast as an OMS machine.) :) at least some work is paying off? bring on the next test. now, time to get me off blogger.

Saturday, July 18, 2009; 6:48 PM; even a fool can see they're falling.

i realised sometime ago i shld start caring less and care more for myself.

after all, only can i make myself feel better.

my priorities have changed. it used to be friends > studies.

now its studies > friends. till then. im sry.

making it insignificant. hope i have given u what u really wanted.

Friday, July 17, 2009; 8:55 PM; tangled up.

dismay. disbelief. discontent. alarming even.

getting back paper1 for maths made me feel the MOST CRESTFALLEN in this week. for smth i study the most for i got the lowest for. even paper2 (which i didnt revise as hard for) i got more than X2 the marks for paper1. like wth. overall its a big fat U again. 25%, even lower than chemistry. having 2 Us ( both 20+%) would make it a rude wakeup call for me. great. i look dumber than b4. its like with more time = do even more badly?

i seriously cant comprehend why i did so badly for maths. maybe i didnt practice sufficiently?

gp was a tad disappointing. once more, i dont rmb scoring this low for language component in compre and essay. damn spelling mistakes dragged down the language score. "CONVENIENCE/CONVENIENT","SARCASM". the marker even read 'revive' as 'rerive/rerire'. the marker commented my 'handwriting makes my essay look sloppy'.

whatever i aimed,i missed. i dun aim, i do better in.

getting back econs papers tml after econs mockexam1. on a saturday. yeah.

time to go do periodicity. I NEED TO START PASSING.

There ain't no way to escape
Trapped in this beautiful mistake
The situation ain't cool
You've got me tangled up in you

Thursday, July 16, 2009; 11:25 PM; spize!

came back from simpang bedok celebrating belinda's early bdae. went to spize the supper place for food. really nice to enjoy a gd laugh with the girls and recount experiences ( e.g the unsound woman whom barged into our teo heng karoke room on my bdae o_O).. and they ( especially shirho) still rmb the 'bite-sized' thingy abt me -_-. they said i became more funny too haha ( i've honed my skills in mjc alr :P)

but the food was yummy :) the gals enjoy their roti prata/roti john while i decided to have pasta -_-. hope to see u guys soon!

its official. im in grpX and band3. im like the person in class who performed the worse for myes :( see my premonition came true. im still gonna give up fb/blogging/ msning soon. its gonna be worth it. aim high aim far. give it the hardest whack EVER.

Tuesday, July 14, 2009; 8:24 PM; happy 18th birthday samkoh!

happy 18th bdae to u samkoh~ :D:D:D:D:D:D

after sch was quite amusing. i bet at least 100 ppl saw me embarrassing myself in front of BYSI and secret recipe cuz of the bag pulling and tugging and pulling at tamp1. lol. ( btw to the curious bunch, its not me pulling her at all ok :P)

happy 18th once again, hope u rmb it well :)

hope u liked my gift too..

Monday, July 13, 2009; 6:51 PM; screw myes

i officially screwed my myes. wth. chem was totally unexpected. even if i deserved to fail, i shldnt have failed THIS badly.

im sure to have landed in grpX with this horrid percentage. great. band3 and grpX. im the worst of the worst.

time to do the extreme.

Saturday, July 11, 2009; 8:26 PM; lostzest

i've lost my zest. towards life. towards studies. towards frens. im tired. i've been sleeping for the whole weekend, being awake for 5 hours on a saturday.

but i have to do my tutorials/work/revision later. my myes results are looking extremely bleak. being placed in band3 for maths was extremely unexpected,considering i nv flunked maths THAT badly. i've always been averaging 9-11/25 for every lecture test. so discovering that i've been banded into band3 is not acceptable to me, especially i've put in the most effort for maths.

i'll be honest, im !@#$% angry that im in band3,especially for a subject i put the most effort in.

soon, i think i'll be put into groupX for chem.

im going into automatic mood soon. study.eat.sleep.timeforfamily. thats abt it.

complexno1 tutorial. chemmcq mye template. gp essay thingy.

i see the clouds coming but im dancing in the rain with you.

not leaving you out in the dark on your own until its gone.

Thursday, July 09, 2009; 1:06 AM; in a different light.

sry 114 ppl i didnt join u all for the movie. iceage3 in 3d isnt really my thing..

and 2dae isnt a gd day, even though its the last exam paper for my class.. secretly i want exams to continue, so i can constantly bury my head into notes such that i dun have the time to think so much bout it.

i see things in such a different light, such that i cant understand others and other cant understand what we're thinking anymore.

and i realised, when im sad/jealous/upset, i somehow end up showing it as frustrated and angry, when im not..

tomorrow 1255-445pm mye postmortem for econs & chem. as if i didnt realise my mistakes already.
i am really sorry for my actions and words, skjy.

Wednesday, July 08, 2009; 12:22 AM; didnotstart.didnotfinish.disqualified.

tml's last paper for bio. i simply have no mood to revise properly now. bio paper1&2.

a random thought: what is the definition of "best friend"? i thought i wiki-ed it and see..

Best friend (or close friend): a person(s) with whom someone shares extremely strong interpersonal ties with as a friend.

ohok. thats it? only 1 sentence? i expected something more.

or is it because i expected too much, thats why im disappointed? after all the higher the expectations, the harder the fall.

same goes for chem mcq 2dae. i practically tikam the 1st 30 qns (cuz i started from the back. the front qns were like wth?)

jiayous and all the best.
