While detecting VCJD in the blood supply is of pressing importance, what tantalizes investors and clinicians is the prospect of a similar blood test to diagnose Alzheimer's disease. Doctors screen for the illness today using cognitive and memory exams, spinal taps or imaging tests--all pricey, none fail-safe. For the hundreds of companies working on treatments, that means relying on drug trials involving patients who may not even have the disease. "That's why the treatments we have now don't work that well," says Adams. In September, Amorfix announced that its technology can detect aggregated beta-amyloid...
...public sphere.First, it has been suggested that the RIAA “picked” Thomas for this case. When we bring a legal action against an infringer, we do not know who that person is or any demographic information about them. We do not have the ability to screen defendants based on their perceived sympathy or anything else. We target theft; nothing more. Second, Thomas herself decided to bring her case to trial, not us. We tried to settle the case. She refused. Of course, she has a right to have her day in court if she so chooses...
...movies (there will be 60 by the end of March), 77 TV shows, 102 CDs, 12 music channels and even Nintendo games and mah-jongg. As a big Denzel Washington fan, I chose his latest movie, Out of Time. He looked great on the relatively large, 9-in. video screen. After a couple of hours with Denzel, I got in some serious bar time--Singapore Airlines has done what no other airline has done for years, which is to devote a large expanse of space in the coach section for passengers to mingle. Here you can get a full range...
...built in the city's large stock of grand old buildings. The most sumptuous is the Hotel Le St-James (514-841-3111), which was fashioned out of a 130-year-old merchant-bank building in the Old Montreal district. Travelers looking for suites with antique furniture and plasma-screen-TV-equipped, marble-encased bathrooms can alight here for $300 to $3,750 a night. A bit pricey, non? "Our guests don't ask the price, they ask for the square footage," sniffs the hotel's directeur-general Guy Luzy. If price does matter, try the Hotel Gault...
...Before being made public, each document must be reviewed individually by a handful of overworked archivists. The archivists screen them for privacy issues (there are, for instance, lots and lots of Social Security numbers in all of this material) and potential breaches of national security. Once the archivists scrub them, the documents go to Bruce Lindsey, the longtime confidant whom Clinton designated to handle them. (Lindsey wrote in a recent memo, "Currently, none of the FOIA requests NARA has processed and provided for my review involve Senator Clinton.") And then they go to the current President, who under...
