...faculty meeting Altshuler said he suggested the creation of a faculty committee to deal with the school’s identity crisis. The faculty, however, wanted to bypass the extra bureaucratic step...
...Hitchhiker's Guide is another cross-'em-up surprise: a nerd-friendly science-fiction comedy (based on the cult-classic novel and radio show by Douglas Adams) about a melancholy English bloke named Arthur Dent (Martin Freeman) who roams the galaxy after Earth is demolished to build an interstellar bypass. Mos plays Arthur's winningly unflappable (and alien) best friend, and his laid-back vibe was in full effect on the set. "He slept a lot between takes," says executive producer Robbie Stamp. "The crews used to laugh. He had a phenomenal catnapping ability." But he wasn't phoning...
...Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy,” the ludicrous and endearingly funny story of Arthur Dent, one poor lost Earthling haplessly finding his way through the Universe after escaping the Earth shortly before its destruction to make way for an interstellar bypass...
When it was first attempted nearly 20 years ago, the operation was hailed as a marvel of technical virtuosity and medical logic. Cerebral bypass surgery was designed to circumvent one of the most common causes of strokes: a blockage in one of the arteries that carry blood to the brain. To reroute blood around a blocked vessel, the surgeon uses a nearby, less vital artery to build a bypass road. Taking this detour, blood continues to flow to the brain, and the risk of a stroke's occurring is presumably lessened...
...patients were given careful medical attention, including drugs to reduce the risk of blood clots and control high blood pressure, which is frequently a contributing factor in stroke. Roughly half the participants were randomly assigned to undergo bypass surgery to connect the superficial temporal artery, which nourishes the scalp, to an artery on the surface of the brain. (The scalp has an ample supply of blood from other vessels.) The central question posed by the investigators: Would the surgery reduce the incidence of future strokes and stroke-related deaths? Their conclusion: "The answer is no." In fact, the operation...
