...compiling data during his summer internship at Nationwide. Part of his responsibilities included maintaining a database of patients who had been treated by the hospital's radiology department using Image Guided Foreign Body Removal, a technique that was developed by Shiels during his Army days to help remove foreign objects like shrapnel from soft tissue. Shiels' method was less invasive than surgery, which often requires an incision of 2 to 3 inches and can lead to damage in surrounding tissues or organs; the new method requires a quarter-inch incision and uses a combination of ultrasound and fluoroscopy - live...

For instance, one candidate promised to clean up the “smelly Science Center fountain,” stop the “annoying bells” from ringing, and install swingsets in the Yard. Although many undergraduates might not object to these changes, as campaign promises they are meaningless, given the UC’s lack of say in such matters.

"We will shape this market; we will change the rules of the game," he says...

He's feeling particularly upbeat these days because he's about to launch a new line of high-tech products that use only a fraction of the energy of traditional lighting.

But the collective unconscious goes further and deeper, and starts long before we know the meaning of a nickel. Children are natural curators, classifying their Barbies or Bakugan, holding on to Happy Meal toys until they have a full set. Freud had a theory about this: not surprisingly, it had to do with toilet training and the trauma of relinquishing a part of oneself. But it's not a need we outgrow. Over the course of his life...
