...election, Barak would lose to Netanyahu. So for now, Barak will probably clutch his cabinet seat tight. The politicians and press will be sifting over the gritty details of the report during the next few days, but Olmert and his new enlarged team of media monitors - their ranks have swollen from four to over 30 in advance of the war report - are putting out the word that he's been exonerated. And there's every likelihood that Olmert, one of Israel's most politically cunning but unpopular leaders ever, will keep...
...today's case search, however, no "hanging" worms are found - only two "suspected cases", people with swollen sores that may be a Guinea worm yet to emerge. The health staff will visit them daily until they can determine if the sore is a worm or not. In a few weeks, the volunteers will repeat the search for cases of Guinea worm in another section of Wantugu. They will continue to check filters, continue to educate their neighbors, and continue to hope that, in the end, they will not find anything...
Most cases of MRSA outside health-care settings are mild, appearing as red, swollen pustules on the skin, and can be controlled with antibiotics other than ones from the penicillin family.

...that's not all. Behind ordinary-looking incubator doors lie some of the most remarkable feats of modern science - pulsing blood vessels, beating heart valves, and delicate, swollen human bladders.

"The concept is to use the body's own cells to make new tissues and organs for patients who need them," he says. "We have had so many advances in various fields of science - cell biology, materials science, and stem cell biology - and all of them are coming...
...smarmy wisecracks, painting caricatures of people’s selfish and inane traits rather than incorporating them into genuine life-like characters. In “The Gum Thief,” however, the characters are from the opposite end of the spectrum: they are walking, talking, drinking melodramas swollen with emotions who don’t give us so much as a chuckle. Coupland’s heavy-handed approach to crafting emotive characters eclipses his will to satirize, and the two divergent intentions, proving themselves mutually exclusive, make “The Gum Thief” a somber...
