...impressive scale model shows the town in the Middle Ages; parts of the ridge and the walls surrounding medieval Lausanne are still visible in the Old Town and testify to the city's defense system. Walking up and down the hilly streets could be tiring, a good reason to replenish your energies with the best ice cream this side of the Alps. Head for the restaurant of the Mövenpick Hotel in Ouchy and order a café glacé: two scoops of espresso ice cream swimming in iced coffee, topped with whipped cream, chopped nuts and warm chocolate...
...stripped of the ability to choose a House with which they identified, but they also genuinely feared a loss of precious House community. The extent to which these fears have been assuaged is due largely to the leadership of existing Masters and the College’s ability to replenish departing ones with Faculty members who are willing to invest their time and effort to creating a vibrant House life...
...these particular stem cells are already partly specialized, so they might not help Frack's hardened arteries or the insulin-producing cells in his pancreas (though other types of stem cells might).

And because the cells would be drawn from his own body, Frack wouldn't have to worry about having his immune system reject them...

Pro-lifers hated it because the operation used cells from aborted fetuses to replenish patients' dying brain tissue.

...tough on illegal immigrants and false asylum seekers plays well in the heartland; but crackdowns merely send refugees underground, forcing them to take ever-deadlier risks to get in. Easing entry requirements makes good economic sense, since Europe needs 75 million new workers over the next 50 years to replenish its aging population; but try telling that to downsized factory workers in Stuttgart or Glasgow. And diversity doesn't sell in the E.U.: just 5 million of its 350 million citizens live outside their native country. The Continent's long-standing zero immigration policy seems premised on nothing so much...
