...species, as well as examples of creatures now rare (Gilbert's potoroo) or extinct (the skeleton of a Tasmanian tiger). Museum pays tribute to the science, both in Hay's historical essay and in the careful notes on each photograph: "The discrepancy between the information given here and the label on the bird's stand reflects a taxonomic refinement...
...natural development process. The treatment--a series of injections to interrupt the brain cascade that launches puberty by regulating gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)--has not yet been submitted for FDA approval for gender-variant children.

Clinton told me she took the vote because she favors economic sanctions against Iran as an alternative to doing nothing, but it was a nonbinding...
Only Giorgio Armani can turn Tokyo upside down with a store opening like the one he held last night on the city's famous Ginza shopping street where he opened a 65,000 square-foot (1025 square meter), 12-story building housing not only his Black Label collection, but also Emporio Armani, Armani Casa, a new Armani Spa, and an Armani Ristorante. A pregnant Cate Blanchett flew in from Sydney for the day, thousands of Tokyo fashionistas lined up outside the boutique to gander at the award-winning actress and the Italian designer as they pushed the button...
