...Hwang and his team of researchers at Seoul National University stunned the medical community in May when, in a study published in the U.S. journal Science, he reported that he had successfully produced tailor-made stem cells from 11 cloned human embryos-an unprecedented feat. Though controversial, Hwang's research was hailed as a breakthrough because it appeared to move scientists a step closer to being able to treat a variety of afflictions, from spinal-cord injuries to Alzheimer's, by using a patient's own dna to grow perfectly matched tissue to restore defective or damaged organs...
...real animals are not the only ones that serve as inspirations for the paintings. Hyemin Na ’06 depicts fantastical creatures, a feat she accomplishes by basing her work on stuffed animals she brings to class. A large stuffed lion—out of place in many a Harvard classroom—sits in the center of the studio, just another testament to the remarkable flexibility and variety of the course...
...wear “dangerous” ties. How cool is that?The women of “Scene,” although underrepresented in written verbiage, are equally incredible. They only go up to a size 10, and can wear Brooks Brothers shirts without pants—a feat rarely accomplished in the harsh New England winter (then again, one mustn’t forget that those Puritans were of a hardy stock.) “Scene” women are also phenomenally well-versed in sexual lubricant. Who knew that K-Y Jelly is actually gauche? Apparently it?...
...Jones' fall had been coming for a while. His supporters pointed to his feat of guiding the Wallabies to the final of the last World Cup, but the side was impressive just once in that campaign. The Wallabies' loss to Wales on Nov. 26 was their eighth defeat in nine Tests. Each time, they retreated to camp amid a buzz about grueling sessions and tactical fine-tuning, only to play just as badly the next time. Many observers have railed about favoritism shown to the ageing captain. But the team's problems go beyond George Gregan. Success in rugby...
...Then again, Joyce was no Heidi Klum. O.K., Project Runway, Klum's Bravo reality show about fashion designers, is not a masterwork of Western civilization. But it pulls off a rare feat: it makes the creative process entertaining. In Season 1 last winter, a cast of wannabe Vera Wangs squared off in design challenges that included sewing outfits from grocery-store items (the best entries used a lawn chair and cornhusks). In Season 2 (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. E.T.), one designer concocts a dress so audacious it may fall apart on the runway: it's held together by magnets. Other television...
