...doctor qualified to prescribe antipsychotic drugs and other medications that could have calmed mentally ill detainees and perhaps diminished the guards' use of physical restraints. Often the only psychiatrists or psychologists on site were part of so-called behavioral-science consultation teams, or "biscuits," which monitored interrogations and custom-designed methods to make them more effective. Those specialists do not function as physicians, the Army says...
...scrounge for grant money, but Cameron made it easy for the researchers from NASA and various universities who co-star with him in the movie. He took them along on 40 dives to vents in the Atlantic and Pacific and filmed the objects of their study with his custom-made, ultrasharp 3-D camera system. To get to where the action is--two miles down in some cases--Cameron used four manned submersible craft and a remotely operated vehicle that was built by the director's brother.

A company called Lab21, headquartered in Stony Brook, N.Y., creates individually formulated products based on a quantitative genetic test. Customers take an at-home DNA test (by swabbing the inside of their cheek) and answer a questionnaire about the health of their skin. Lab21's SkinProfiler System then creates a custom formula to treat specific conditions--for example, acne, redness or aging. Prices range from $80 for 2.5 oz. of antioxidant fluid with SPF to $600 for a complete custom...
