...father and her four brothers. Born male, Alba, 35, has now had her genitals and Adam's apple removed and her breasts enlarged, and although her superiors at first balked, she remains on the force. In today's Spain she has felt free enough to talk publicly about her switch. The problem is that the 1978 constitution hasn't been able to keep up with the hectic pace of social change. While rewording the heir-heiress glitch will be simple enough, what did the constitutional fathers (no mothers, obviously) have in mind when they guaranteed the right...
...physician at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, who agreed that condoms available on the market now have been tested thoroughly and are of equivalent efficienty. He said that user preference is often a deciding factor. In 2003, CHI provided Durex-brand condoms, but switched brands in accordance with student preferences, despite the slightly higher cost of Lifestyles condoms. Condom usage, or the jumped from 24,468 to 31,589 after the switch, according to Ballinger.

...energy, the audience, the majority of whom sported thick under-21 crosses on both hands, jumped along like jubilant trick-or-treaters being handed candy. The multi-racial band members, who look like the poster children for a United Colors of Benetton ad, raced across the stage to switch instruments. The two men on guitar, Ian Parton and Sam Dook, move to keyboards or to the second drum kit in the back of the stage while a cute female multi-instrumentalist bounced between keyboard, guitar, and a bizarre wind-instrument that looked like a cross between a clarinet...
...management switch at Magellan is yet another attempt to re-instill the kind of bold stock-picking of Lynch's heyday. "We have a very different business model than Vanguard or American," says Fidelity spokeswoman Anne Crowley. "Half our revenues come from non-fund, fee-related businesses like the brokerage business, where we are a significant player." Indeed, Lange is expected to emulate Lynch's method of mixing up the portfolio with some smaller companies. Even with the fund having lost half its assets, it remains a behemoth, which leaves Lange confronting the same hurdle that tripped up Stansky...
