...contrast, on many key issues, Republicans can't find much agreement. Moderates and conservatives in House will spend this week battling over proposed spending cuts in the budget, while Republicans in the Senate fight about immigration reform. President Bush's domestic agenda, from health savings accounts to a commission to reform Social Security and other entitlement plans, has drawn little enthusiasm on Capitol Hill...
...power of Yu's designs is the succinctness with which they communicate his ideas. His parks pair bushy tufts of native plants (which don't need to be watered or trimmed) with angular paths and minimalist sculptures in brightly-colored metal. The contrast between these rustic and futuristic elements is intended to attract people to the natural landscape, while changing it as little a possible. Yu studies the sites of his projects intensively before he starts planning and tries to work with what's already there?an approach he calls "anti-planning...
...Farber launched Farberware with a percolator in 1930--and their collaboration with Batali is unusual.

...Specifically, the NEJM study showed that it takes 90 micrograms of active ingredient in each of at least two doses of vaccine to get the best result. By contrast, the current seasonal flu vaccine contains 45 micrograms of active ingredient - from three different strains of flu virus - and you need only one shot to achieve good protection against all three strains of the flu virus. "Having a vaccine that would require 90 micrograms times two in and of itself would not and cannot be the answer to where we want to be," Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute...
