...welcome as that change will be, it may be less urgent now - owing primarily to the work of scientists like Melton. While embryonic stem cells remain the gold standard for any treatments that find their way into the clinic, newer techniques using the next-generation stem cells may soon surpass the older ones...
...Most commercial airlines are now replacing older three- and four-engine planes with more-efficient double-engine aircraft. Because these newer engines are quieter, birds are less likely to detect and avoid them. Worse still, fewer engines mean fewer backups should a plane and a flock of birds cross paths...

In a separate Cambridge study last April, traders with high morning testosterone levels recorded higher profits for the rest of that day than they did on days when their circulating testosterone level was low. Building on those findings, the newer study suggests that the lower those traders' 2D:4D ratios, the bigger their swing in profits between the high- and low-testosterone days...
...sleep disorder itself can be treated with medications, but those drugs won't slow the decline in nerve function that's responsible for Parkinson's. But identifying the disease at this earlier stage may help scientists come up with newer ways of protecting the motor neurons from further damage. "We don't have agents now to stop the degeneration of Parkinson's," says Postuma. "But once we have those agents, as far as I'm concerned, every patient with REM sleep disorder should be taking...
Some industry watchers, however, say the slowdown may help existing hotels to stay afloat by delaying commissioning of newer competitors. "Projects that have only just got underway, which are aimed at opening in 2010-11, will be put off," says Jain of JLLM, "They will face constraints in terms of financing and ability to complete projects, as well as downbeat forecast for the sector. This will reduce the pressure on [room rates] by keeping competition down." That may be a relief to some players, but will be small consolation for the industry as a whole...
