...Quijorna Golf Club. "We merely defend the idea of a natural golf course, adapting its color to the time of year," says López. "Logically these fields will be yellow and brown during summer and autumn. Only in spring will it be totally green." Overlooking his bone-dry club, dotted with almond trees, he adds: "Let's just say we're going back to the origins of golf. Natural surroundings, just like the conditions and design of the course." Currently Quijorna has about 285 members who fully accept the withered look of their playground, which consumes no more liters...
...good news for all sides is that over the course of this long argument, researchers have learned more about how stem cells work, and the science has outrun the politics. Adult cells, such as those found in bone marrow, were thought to be less valuable than embryonic cells, which are "pluripotent" master cells that can turn into anything from a brain cell to a toenail. But adult cells may be more elastic than scientists thought, and could offer shortcuts to treatment that embryonic cells can't match...
Researchers have discovered that many tissues and organs contain precursor cells that act in many ways like stem cells. The skin, intestines, liver, brain and bone marrow contain these stem cell-- mimicking cells, which could become a reservoir of replacement cells for treating diseases such as leukemias, stroke and some cancers. "Brain stem-cells can make almost all cell types in the brain, and that may be all we need if we want to treat Parkinson's disease or ALS," says Dr. Arnold Kriegstein, who directs the University of California at San Francisco's Institute for Regeneration Medicine. "Embryonic stem...
...towed by wreckers. One day, it took five hours to lurch just nine miles. To make up for lost distance and time, the soldiers in the 507th Maintenance Company slept little or not at all. They were cooks, clerks and mechanics, none of them tested in combat. They became bone weary and sleepwalked through the days...
...words Materazzi spoke are known. Meanwhile, even after seeing the head-butt, sports writers voted Zidane the Cup's best player and awarded the Frenchman the tournament's Golden Ball - a superlative their peers denied Zidane in 2001 voting for best pro player in Europe, after he broke a bone in a rival's face with an earlier head-butt...
