...been thinking a lot lately about my relationship with my gizmos. The little ones, not the adult systems all grown up and trailing wires everywhere, the big-screen TVs and stereos and desktops. I'm talking about the cell phones and pagers and Treos and BlackBerrys, with which we are much more intimate. We carry them everywhere, so that any time they twitch we feel it on our hip. Because they have no wires, they depend on us to feed them their juice every other night...
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...

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...
