...order to create more complex structures, such as the heart, he needed something far more sophisticated as a matrix. That's where the inkjet printer came in. One of Atala's colleagues had the bright idea that if a printer can spray tiny bits of ink in a pre-set pattern, why couldn't that same technique be used to scatter cells into pre-designed templates? So, instead of printing in one dimension, Atala's expert re-tooled the printer to "print" its cells in successive layers; the end result is a three-dimensional mold of cells that looks suspiciously...
...share in the winnings. In the U.K., the British Horseracing Authority hopes such schemes will expand the sport's middle-class base. A few hundred pounds can give enthusiasts an insider's privileges, landing them not only a stake in a horse, but also access to the paddock, pre-race chats with trainers and jockeys, and the chance to gloat in the winner's circle.

Even with that substantial bump, Sarkozy's new remuneration won't be the envy of many of his international peers. The annual salary of U.S. President George W. Bush, for example, is $494,000, versus $384,000 for U.K. Prime Minister Gordon Brown, and $391,000 for German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Sarkozy's official income is also dwarfed by that of European pay champion...
