...national success: Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains. As soon as the bands became widely heard, however, they jumped to major labels.

Bands that had been playing in taverns were being offered $300,000 contracts. Many of these groups were founded on the principle that mainstream music was bankrupt, which only made them more attractive to mainstream labels...
...than whistle-stops in the general election. This is, of course, the problem to which the Electoral College is the hapless, nonsensical solution.

...This is the only technology available that will really define the presence or absence of calcified or non-calcified plaque," says Dr. Norman Lepor, a professor at UCLA's Geffen School of Medicine, referring to the tell-tale build-up on artery walls that signifies heart disease. Lepor says that CTCA gives off no more radiation than the routinely used diagnostic nuclear stress test, which also detects plaque deposits, but only those that are big enough to block 70% of the artery.

If you have more than 15% of Y-chromosome in the gonads it's likely that you're going to be a male." Twin A, he adds, is ambiguous because the number of cells carrying a male-determining chromosome was not high enough to masculinize the twin. "They're both ambiguous, if you will, but only one is from a genital perspective." Vilain adds that people should retire the term...
