"This is an old-fashioned show, and that's what makes it feel fresh," says creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes, a black woman who has made a conscious effort to increase diversity (both racial and gender) in the show's casting. "The high-tech plot-driven shows are fantastically exciting. We're an alternative." And unlike Meredith's dilemma, there's no uncertainty about which option viewers of Grey's Anatomy will choose...
...further down the road, generating the bulk of our electricity from something other than coal—is two-fold. We need a renewable energy source that doesn’t emit greenhouse gases. And we need a way of storing that energy in a form that can be driven around. The latter has few viable solutions: despite intense research, battery technology is still relatively poor, and hydrogen has all the disadvantages already discussed. For the former, we have lots of promising, but highly underdeveloped, ideas, from massive oceanic windmill farms to gasoline-oozing bioengineered algae to corn-derived ethanol...

The arthroscopic method probably accounts for about half of the rotator cuff surgeries now being done in the U.S. Every year more surgeons are switching over to the all-arthroscopic technique. This is a great example of patient-driven medicine; we are doing a more expensive, technically more difficult procedure primarily for short term comfort and patient acceptance...
