Fulga's treatment repairs damaged or inactive heart tissue using adult stem cells harvested from the patient's blood and processed outside the body by mimicking the body's environment. Unlike other stem-cell therapies, which make use of bone marrow or--more controversially in the U.S.--the blood of human embryos, Fulga believes the procedure patented by TheraVitae is simpler, safer and less invasive. "The patient is effectively treating himself with his own blood, so there is very little danger of rejection," says Fulga, an ophthalmologist. "It's the safest kind of stem cell...

...Rather, its location several blocks from the hub of the Square, at 378 Highland Street, means that its baked goods are reserved for those in the know.In keeping with the store’s name, the cupcakes transcend their neat rows with deliciously rebellious flavor combinations. Those leaning toward adult tastes might want to sample the mojito cupcake. Topped with mint leaves and soaked with rum, this cupcake will leave any taster lovedrunk for the childishly adult snack.At the opposite end of the spectrum is the classically sweet cinnamon chai Pecan Sticky, which still offers a wonderfully complex eating experience...

...childhood coincidences seemed to destine him for greatness. Not only was Watson a not-too-distant cousin of Orson Welles, he also played handball on a field at the University of Chicago that covered the lab where researchers were developing the atomic bomb. In Watson’s adult years, he made good on his early promise, using his education to rise to the top of the American science scene and win the Nobel Prize. The book is relatively fast-paced and never dwells too long on one subject...

...used to cover non-alcoholic expenses, which were never a source of contention in the first place.Some argue that the money the UC will dole out in the future for non-alcoholic party purchases is fungible. Party organizers, they claim, can simply use their own funds to cover adult beverages, the UC allotment to cover miscellaneous party supplies, and ultimately end up spending the same amount of their own money they would have even if the party fund still covered alcohol. This is apparently the line of thinking the UC has pursued in seeking to expand the range of purchases...

Middleton sexed language, and languaged sex, more comprehensively and creatively than any other writer in English. His sex is never just sex: it can be fun, funny, sad, repellent, lyrical, satirical; it entangles bodies in psychology, politics, ethics, religion. Middleton dramatized incest, an adult son obsessed with his mother's sexuality, a husband happily pimping his wife, a husband literally selling his wife, a husband brutally raping his wife. He wrote of transvestism, stalking, sexual blackmail, castration, impotence, masochism, necrophilia and an adulteress forced to eat her lover's corpse...
