...human use. Scientists ultimately hope to clear this hurdle and treat a wide variety of human diseases by transplanting body tissues created from stem cells. Only three weeks ago, Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger and his colleagues at HSCI reported that they created mouse iPS cells using harmless adenoviruses that don’t alter the genetic makeup of the cells...
...would also stop collecting Criminal Offender Record Information (CORI) reports on such crimes. We applaud the idea of reducing these restrictions, and recommend that the state and federal government consider going much further. The strict laws restricting marijuana possession have caused far more damage to society than the harmless plant itself could ever do.

Miron, the measure could save the state almost...
...also have given her cover on the campaign trail. Fey's Palin is no love letter--falsely confident, hapless, antiscience and calculatedly adorable--but she's harmless compared with the Real Palin we've seen lately: a culture warrior cannily playing on resentments, a mouthpiece for the McCain campaign's ugliest character attacks on Barack Obama...

The HBS fowl, nicknamed “Turk Turkee” by some students, has created a rift between those members of the student body who think it is a nuisance and those who think it is a harmless source of entertainment. “Although the turkey has been around since I’ve been here, I’ve never had a personal run-in with the turkey,” said Valentina Longo, a second-year MBA student. “However, enough...
...Currently, the number of iPS cells produced using retroviruses is significantly higher than that from the harmless adenoviruses. Stadtfeld, who is a post-doctoral research fellow at Harvard-affiliated Mass. General Hospital, estimated that using the more-dangerous retroviruses is 10 to 100 times more efficient than the new adenovirus method...
