That's good news for the estimated 20,000 people worldwide who are each year in urgent need of a heart transplant for survival. Currently, only about a quarter of those patients receive transplanted hearts from donors. The need for a viable artificial alternative is clear; if Carpentier's device proves reliable and durable, it promises to shorten transplant wait-lists and save the lives of at least some of the 17 million people who die of heart disease every year. The first transplant patients will likely be the critically ill, who currently receive existing artificial hearts...

Obama, uncharacteristically late in that presidential way where aides keep giving two minute warnings of his approach, slid into the formal role as easily as sliding back into a suit after working out at the gym. The president-elect delivered his first press conference with verve, as clear and articulate as ever, standing before a plain blue background and a row of U.S. flags that evoked the White House and the backdrop for his victory speech Tuesday night. His economic advisers and new chief of staff Rahm Emanuel flanked him (he had just come from meeting with them), many smiling...
