...Poland to flourish in the company of European nations, it has to help places like Radecznica. Tusk acknowledges as much. His party doesn't promote the liberal label and has tried to show a social conscience. During the past election, for example, unsanctioned text messages urged young voters to "hide your grandma's ID" (so that she couldn't vote PIS). The Civic Platform countered with a message that voters should bring Grandma along to the voting booth and explain to her that her future, too, depends on growth...

...template, a self-conscious mechanism that mindlessly plugs in choruses, verses, hooks and solos, but never seems to be aware of what makes any of those things work together. The album plods along on autopilot for six straight tracks of virtually indistinguishable twin-guitar artillery, with doses of horn flourish applied intermittently in a futile attempt to enliven the record’s blandness. “The Switch and the Spur,” “Hold Up,” and “Top Yourself” all feel like second-rate Stripes songs, and Benson?...

...owner in my old neighborhood in the capital Kabul hasn't had electricity for the past year. Reason: he refuses to pay the $400 bribe to secure a connection to the electrical grid. That, of course, is a minor issue. Need, aggravated by limited supply, allows petty corruption to flourish in every corner of the world without necessarily feeding an insurgency.

...corruption. The electronics store owner in my old neighborhood in the capital, Kabul, hasn't had electricity for the past year, because he refuses to pay the $400 bribe required to secure a connection to the electrical grid. The scarcity of so many basic necessities allows petty corruption to flourish in many corners of the world without necessarily feeding an insurgency. But Afghanistan's corruption is intimately linked to a culture of violence. The driver of an Afghan friend was picked up one day by the police, beaten, stripped naked and left outside in the snow for several nights until...

...which are forged from collagen and endothelial cells and designed to act just like human skin (think a Barbie Dream House for white blood cells). Each construct is hunkered inside an individual well where the blood cells mingle with the faux tissue. As the blood cells get cozy, they flourish, and a teensy, homegrown, fully functioning human immune system is born. Up to 96 wells, enough for 96 individual immune systems, fit on a plate roughly the size of a deck of cards. From here, the next step is to toss a vaccine into the mix and watch the action...
