...people who die of heart disease every year. The first transplant patients will likely be the critically ill, who currently receive existing artificial hearts as end-of-life treatments, but Carpentier expects his new heart to be tested increasingly in younger heart patients whose bodies may be in better shape to recover from an artificial-organ transplant - and resume a relatively normal lifestyle...
...knows how long the slump will last or how it will play out. There are plenty of analogies to describe the possible shape of the U.S. downturn if you plotted GDP growth on a graph: V (short and shallow); W (double dip with a positive blip in the middle as a result of fiscal stimulus programs); L (a protracted, Japan-like stagnation); saucer (stagnation with a very weak recovery).

His work with artists like Alicia Keys, Jay-Z, and Will.I.Am shape a hip-hop resume that few others can touch, but his solo efforts have been decidedly less exciting than the tracks on which he plays the supporting role. Legend tends to come across as a baby-faced, heart-on-sleeve singer-songwriter in his own releases; he?...
