The KUL (Catholic University of Leuven) could loose the support from the Vatican because it conducts research on embryos and fertility.
The University management has publicly stated that they will not budge to pressure from the Vatican to change their policy, I applaud them for taking this stance and showing that religion cannot stand in the way of scientific research!
I searched for an English news article but couldn't find any, apparently the KUL is one of the largest Catholic universities in the world.

Yep Seattle is great
Pharyngula links to this article.
Seattle is truly the best place in the US, I spent an exchange year there and went back a few times, funny enough it was with a christian organization (though in Belgium they dropped that part of their name, sneaky bastards). On my application I did state clearly that I was godless and I even got a godless hostfamily that was truly the best match ever. I don't think the situation would be the same today, I haven't checked up on ICYE in a while ... WOW they dropped the Christian and renamed it Cultural. That is wonderful, there is progress in the world, like my above example I always found that organization open and not about the religion, if you are thinking about doing or sending your kids on an exchange program check them out (this is not a school exchange, you will be working as a volunteer in social projects)
Today will be a good day, I took the day off work to get my old car to the garage and do some chores and there has been an accident on the route I usually take to work that blocked the whole freeway.
