...drug deal gone bad. He chooses to take the money and must evade the pursuit of a terrifying man guided only by a twisted moral code. TROUBLING PARALLELBut two days after being cast, tragedy struck.Brolin was in a motorcycle crash that, in addition to shattering his collar bone, helped him connect with the role on a personal level. “The thing about the motorcycle accident is that I didn’t see it coming, and I always thought that I saw it coming. It’s the same theme as Cormac’s book...
...long-term effects of artificially delayed puberty, but the FDA has noted no serious side effects in the nearly 20 years hormone blockers have been used in the U.S. to treat early-onset puberty in the short term.

Amniotic-fluid stem cells aren't as versatile as embryonic stem cells, which can turn into every tissue type in the body, but they can still develop into an impressive number of much-needed cell types, and Atala has already used them to grow up muscle, bone, fat and blood vessel cells, in addition to nerve and liver.

He notes that his intellectual obsessions are hardly unique or rarefied. "The market for books about science and philosophy on the level on which I deal with things is a best-seller market," he says, pointing to authors like Steven Pinker, Richard Dawkins...
...started out as an OK weekend, except the San Diego Chargers weren't playing and the weather had been in the bone chilling 60s. Then came the first flames, in one area appropriately named the Witch near Ramona. All of a sudden places we long-timers never knew even had a name became labeled. The new monikers still don't help any of us know exactly where the neighborhoods are. But we can smell them now. They are choking us. Within 24 hours, nine fires were ravaging the San Diego area.
