...with a quiet authority seared in experience. And because he had comrades killed in Iraq, he tells Mike Wallace on 60 Minutes that he'd protest the war even if he hadn't been paralyzed: "I would still speak out - although I probably wouldn't have as firm a leg to stand on." Then, instantly correcting himself: "Or chair to sit in." The contrast of the Congress' surrender to political dictates and Young's heroism, in Iraq and back home, makes this superb documentary almost unbearably moving - as pathetic as it is inspiring...
...appears to be gaining something of a foothold. Ten thousand downloads were recorded in the first week alone, according to Sven Seuken, a second-year graduate student in computer science who works with the Tribler team. One of the distinctive features intended to give Tribler a leg up on the competition is its use of an electronic “currency” to address the inefficiencies that have plagued other peer-to-peer systems. Time-honored adages aside, people appear to favor receiving over giving on peer to peer networks. And given the cooperative nature of such systems?...

While osseointegration has worked for at least half a dozen animals and has been attempted in at least 60 humans, mainly in Scandinavia, every animal presents surgeons with a different biomechanical challenge. Attaching a leg to a nimble, bouncing animal like a kangaroo is different from creating a limb for a plodding one like an elephant. When Stumpy the kangaroo lost her hind leg, surgeons designed a prosthetic foot--held in place by a traditional stump and socket--that is made of carbon fiber, which has the ability to spring back to its original shape after it is bent. This...
