...House of Representatives approved significant increases in funding for scientific research Wednesday, moving one step closer to reversing years of stagnant grant money long criticized by Harvard and other research centers. The bill would add $3.5 billion for the National Institutes of Health, which serves as the most significant source of the University’s federal research funding by far. The legislation would also give an additional $3 billion to the National Science Foundation, another key financial backer. The increases are part of a broader $819 billion economic stimulus package passed by the House. The Senate...
...dorky kid whom nobody sat next to at lunch. Parsons had some success at Time Warner - he removed 'AOL' from the company's name and streamlined its business practices - but by the time he stepped down in 2008 the media behemoth was still saddled with underperforming departments and a stagnant share price.

What began as a simple choice between lubricated, ribbed or custom-fit now includes flavored, novelty (Star Wars prophylactic, anyone...
...stagnant NASA of the past 20 years has been poised to become a very new NASA - thanks, in many respects, to the outgoing Bush Administration. In 2004, the President announced a new push to return astronauts to the moon and eventually get them to Mars. Many skeptics saw the hand of political whiz Karl Rove in that, suspecting that the whole idea was just a bag of election year goodies for space-happy states like Florida and Texas, as well as for voters nostalgic for the glory days of Apollo. But Bush, NASA and Congress did mean business, and eventually...
