...winemakers to find ways of reducing Tannat's harshness besides leaving it in the barrel for years. Such a development would allow them to get their wines to market quicker. Two techniques have shown particular promise when it comes to fulfilling this goal. The first is known as micro-oxygenation - the slow release of small amounts of oxygen into the wine during fermentation, giving it a rounded quality (the same thing happens when wine is decanted or left to breathe). The other is speeding up the removal of grape pips during the fermentation process. Tannat grapes tend to have more...
Heart muscle cells, or cardiomyocytes, “need a blood supply and oxygen to survive,” said Engel. “FGF1 did not have a great effect on cell proliferation, but we found it was providing a new blood supply. If you just inhibit p38 MAP kinase, you don’t get blood vessels...
...woman had been screaming frantically up until that point. At 5:42 a.m., a fire engine and rescue team from the Cambridge Fire Department arrived at the scene along with a professional ambulance, Burns said.

...developed country, but without any manners," Noguchi decided something had to be done. Returning to Everest in 2000, he climbed the mountain four times over the next four years with an international team that cleared nearly eight tons of waste from its slopes, including more than 400 discarded oxygen containers. Local Nepalese villagers didn't see the point of the project at first, but eventually joined in enthusiastically, realizing that their success could provide a potent example in their polluted country. "They said, 'We want to change Nepal from Mount Everest,'" Noguchi recalls...
...kind of faith interacts with politics. If we cannot know for sure at all times how to govern our own lives, what right or business do we have telling others how to live theirs? From a humble faith comes toleration of other faiths. And from that toleration comes the oxygen that liberal democracy desperately needs to survive. That applies to all faiths, from Islam to Christianity. In global politics, it translates into a willingness to recognize empirical reality, even when it disturbs our ideology and interests. From moderate religion comes pragmatic politics. From a deep understanding of human fallibility comes...
