...fencing, swimming, horse-jumping and a run.) You get two points and the right to keep whatever European royal title your family is holding on to.

"Wine is one of the most complex chemical substances out there, and no human palate can quantify its makeup objectively. This kind of electronic device...
There are other, more immediate payoffs of the new study. For one thing, it gives researchers a better understanding of how ALS progresses. Because the new nerve cells have the same genetic makeup as the patients' own diseased cells, Henderson says, they may very well develop signs of the disease in culture, allowing researchers to watch ALS unfold before they eyes. "Our lack of understanding of the disease process is preventing us from developing more efficient cures," says Henderson. "Because the disease is happening in the spinal cord, we don't have access to living samples of neurons undergoing...
...have in the culture dish cells which have the same genetic makeup as do the ALS patients, and they are the very cells that are affected by the disease." said Columbia professor Christopher Henderson, referring to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), a neurodegenerative often called Lou Gehrig's Disease. "This provides us with the opportunity...to study these motor neurons derived from the ALS cells...

The trick is to sample riffs from somebody who's so long gone that the modern repetition of it sounds fresh and new. Even the theatrical group Kiss -- whose members wore demonic makeup onstage -- is cited as an influence by today's alternative rockers. "I had the worst crush on the God of Thunder, (Kiss bassist) Gene Simmons," says Kat Bjelland, lead singer for the punkette group Babes in Toyland. "They appealed to me because they're really basic.
