...intriguing but small study published in the New England Journal of Medicine, however, doctors at Massachusetts General Hospital and New York Presbyterian Hospital may have finally come up with an end run around organ rejection. They report on four kidney-transplant patients who were able to wean themselves off powerful antirejection drugs within a year of their transplants (a fifth rejected his kidney). Even more exciting is the fact that while the organ donors in the study were family members of the recipients, they were not perfect tissue matches...
...rise in overseas markets. As the industry pushes its high-fat, high-cholesterol, meat-based foods, rates of diabetes, heart disease and stroke are skyrocketing. Obesity rates have tripled over the past 20 years in countries that have adopted the American diet, according to a paper in the New England Journal of Medicine in January 2007. Rates of diabetes are expected to reach pandemic levels by 2030.

In 2004, the European Union set up a four-year funding project to foster the shared-space ethic in seven towns across Europe, including Oostende in Belgium and Ipswich in England. Last September, work finally began on the transformation of Bohmte, a town in northwestern Germany. Although its mayor, Klaus Goedejohann, says he expects "an aesthetic improvement, a higher quality of life and a better traffic situation" when the signs come down, so far all he has to show are some large...
...built up the brand. It developed the larger Duplo series in the 1960s for younger children who had trouble handling the original tiny Lego bricks (Duplo is still going strong too). In 1968, the company opened its first Legoland theme parks, near its Billund birthplace. Parks in Windsor, England, Carlsbad, California and Günzburg, Germany followed, each using around 50 million bricks to create replicas of monuments and landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Mount Rushmore, and the Sydney Opera House. Each park receives around 1.4 million visitors per year...
