...calculations? Why worry about how much time is left? Yes, it’s a bit obsessive, but I crunched the numbers to make a point about choice. To treat time like a commodity is one thing. To know that it’s precious is another thing entirely. When you choose to treat time like a commodity, you end up valuing the things you do only as “experiences” to pad a CV.

...pool of some 400,000 stored in the freezers of in vitro fertilization clinics. These embryos, only a few days old and smaller than the head of a pin, will probably be discarded unless they are donated to science. Embryonic stem cells, the letter noted, can be used to treat "diseases that affect more than 100 million Americans, such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury ..."

The issue came up last week when a report published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed, for the first time, that blood-pressure rates among children and teens across the U.S. have inched up over the past 15 years--a consequence of their growing girth.

Most doctors prefer to treat high blood pressure in their younger patients with lifestyle changes first: getting them to lose weight, if necessary, and to step up their physical activity. Preliminary evidence suggests that caffeine--found in soda, coffee and some candy--may also boost blood pressure, particularly in African Americans. Daniels and his colleagues are just starting a study that looks at the effect on children and teenagers of a diet that has been shown to lower blood pressure in adults--one that emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low-fat dairy. Blood pressure can jump high enough among...
