...real Bette Midler, chantootsie extraordinaire, got the crowd to sing along with "The Rose" while waving their cell phones like cigarette lighters at a '60s concert. Still, she's at her best not so much in the pop ballads that gave her mid-career a Top 40 lift, as in a plaintive ballad like John Prine's "Hello in There," or her rave-up of "When a Man Loves a Woman." They're terrific songs, and prove the lady's still got the lung power. (Does she take requests? Please, then, an encore of her late-70s gut-destroyer "Stay...
Although the Bush Administration insists things are getting better in Afghanistan, suicide bombings and U.S. casualties are mounting. And the Taliban has just threatened Afghanistan's cell-phone companies with attacks unless they shut down at night so that cell-phone-carrying insurgents can't be tracked electronically. In addition to its military woes, Washington has spent months vainly seeking an international envoy to lead reconstruction efforts inside the country...

Today Longmaid, 30, not only has hot showers and electric power on the island but also can make cell-phone calls, watch television and surf the Net via satellite.

...such as HIV, cancer, and diabetes. “My personal feeling is that academic researchers can really have significant impact on health care and society by lending their expertise to projects that can be translated into therapeutic intervention,” said Joan S. Brugge, a professor of cell biology who sits on the Accelerator Advisory Committee. The fund has already helped one breakthrough—which emerged from the work of Harvard scientists Jose Halperin and Gerhard Wagner—enter a licensing agreement with Egenix, Inc, a New York-based biotechnology company. Kohlberg said that such agreements...
Researchers from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) and Mass. General Hospital (MGH) are one step closer to reprogramming adult stem cells and making them capable of creating tissues for all parts of the body without the use of viruses or cancer-causing genes. Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger recently discovered how long adult mouse stem cells need to be exposed to reprogramming factors before they convert to a pluripotent, embryonic-like state, at which point they can be potentially used for medical treatments. According to Hochedlinger, his lab set out to unveil the mysteries of the reprogramming...
