Bone marrow transplants, however, require a bone marrow match, which can be extremely difficult to find. Patients and donors must have the same human leukocyte antigens (HLAs); otherwise, the patient’s body may reject the donated marrow. While in 25 to 30 percent of cases, the patient will have a family member whose marrow is compatible, in 70 to 75 percent of the cases—thousands of patients annually—the patient will need marrow from a stranger. Sam Cross, for example, is of half-Asian, half-Eastern European heritage; his singular heritage makes finding...
...last-minute substitute for injured defenseman Brian McCafferty, whose name had already been printed on the line sheets.But Morin, who hadn’t played in Harvard’s last three games, converted his only shot of the night.“Wait long enough and be patient,” he said with a grin later that night, admitting he was keeping the puck a souvenir, “and things like that happen.”The Engineers managed a power-play score with less than four minutes remaining, but a boarding penalty quashed any late Rensselaer...
...especially as there are some nice little turns in the story.

One possibility: breaking up the company into three more-nimble parts, with each brand focused on a specific customer demographic. "The combination is overly complex and unmanageable," says Todd Slater, managing director at Lazard Capital Markets. Whether or not it remains one intact company, industry experts say Gap will have to get back to the fashion basics...
...brain's spin doctoring is displayed even more dramatically in neurological conditions in which the healthy parts of the brain explain away the foibles of the damaged parts (which are invisible to the self because they are part of the self). A patient who fails to experience a visceral click of recognition when he sees his wife but who acknowledges that she looks and acts just like her deduces that she is an amazingly well-trained impostor. A patient who believes he is at home and is shown the hospital elevator says without missing a beat, "You wouldn't believe...
