...Nonetheless, the coffee company has a long haul ahead. Resizing its footprint to better fall in line with demand is a step in the right direction, but hardly a cure-all. Morgan Stanley's Glass points to "deteriorating underlying trends," such as the slowing economy and stepped-up coffee competition from the likes of Dunkin Donuts and McDonald's. Steven Kron, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, pointed out in a research note that while short-term investors may be enthusiastic about store closings, long-term investors still need to know more about how broader business trends play...
While scientists work out the molecular pathways that may someday cure FXS and FXTAS, clinicians at more than a dozen centers around the country are devising ways to improve life for affected families. Children with FXS are referred to programs that offer language services, occupational therapy and special education. Randi Hagerman is a believer in drugs to treat anxiety and hyperactivity. For patients with FXTAS, she prescribes exercise and medications already used to treat Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease...
...fact, Blue had hip dysplasia, a fairly common and sometimes crippling degenerative condition in dogs and cats. The cure - a complete hip replacement - would keep Blue in recovery for up to six months. So while Waters mulled the surgery, Blue's regular veterinarian sent Waters to see another local vet, Kathy Mitchener, who was trained in acupuncture, to treat Blue's pain. But Mitchener had a better idea. She offered a cutting-edge stem-cell transplant, a therapy not yet available to humans, that would potentially help Blue's hip repair itself...
...cure-all doesn't come cheap. A cycle of stem-cell treatment generally costs $2,000 to $4,000, including the extraction, surgeries and follow-up. (Canine hip-replacement surgeries, however, can be about four times as expensive.) Robert Harman, Vet-Stem's founder, says that because of the steep price tag, he initially thought wealthy horse owners would be his primary clientele. "Turns out there's not quite the same emotional attachment to horses as in the small-animal world," Harman says. "It used to be if your dog got sick, you just got a new dog. Now people...
...also doesn't much matter that during this film's opening passage, which finds Bruce hiding out in a Rio de Janeiro favela sending desperate emails to a scientist who may have the cure for what ails his blood work, hope briefly flares that this movie may turn into a genuine oddity: a realistically grounded action piece. But for this version, directed by Louis Leterrier, that's not to be. Betty's dad (William Hurt) is a general more grim than Strangelovian, who wants to weaponize the Hulk. He enlists a gung-ho Russian-English commando named Blonsky (Tim Roth...
