...carrying around some extra pounds. To take just one example, a study published last week followed 10,000 patients in the Kaiser Permanente Northern California Medical Group for more than 25 years and found that those who were either overweight or obese in midlife were significantly more likely to develop dementia later on. Other studies have established that the risks of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes all rise with increasing weight. "There's nothing about our paper that says obesity isn't a health issue," Flegal says...
...That dire prophecy, though, is really all about timing. Georgia Tech's Shelton, an engineering professor and oil-futures expert, says the extent of the economic damage depends on how fast oil prices rise. A slow climb "gives people time to adjust," he argues, and affords industry time to develop new or more efficient technologies. Crude prices have been steadily rising over the past two years--to nearly $60 a barrel, compared with $30 in early 2004. While individuals are certainly feeling the pinch, the economy overall so far has continued to grow...
Certain types of studies with human-animal chimeras should be banned for now. Human ESCs should not be implanted in the embryo of another primate where, potentially, a partly human brain could develop, but implants in mice would be permitted. Animals seeded with human ESCs should not reproduce...
...Japan, where a bias toward bulking up still reigns. Says Gerhard Fasol, president of Eurotechnology Japan, a tech consultancy in Tokyo: "The Toshibas and Hitachis of this world are in about 20 or 30 different industry areas. There is no focus." Even in secondary business lines, Sharp tries to develop what it calls "one-of-a-kind" products. A recent example: the new Healsio oven that reduces fat and salt content by cooking with superheated steam. The oven is a smash in Japan, even though it's small and retails for more than...
...question for Harvard is, if current Harvard scientists work in the North Yard and if there [is] going to be science here, how do you get people back and forth?” said David McGregor, the managing partner of Cooper, Robertson & Partners, the firm hired to develop an institutional master plan for the new campus. McGregor added that the Longwood Medical Area was a third area that would need to be integrated...
