...week for her involvement in the election scandal, reflected positively on her tenure as Vice President in her speech. She emphasized her continuous “commitment to making the Undergraduate Council more relevant to all aspects of student life,” and her prominent role in the creation of the UC TKTS initiative, which lotteries free event tickets to students...
...locality all play a role, Google says. The formula is always changing. On Monday Google announced that it would show live updates from social-media feeds on its news-search results. And on Tuesday, in response to complaints from newspapers and other news-gathering sources, it announced the creation of Living Story Page, a collaboration with the Washington Post and the New York Times, which puts ongoing stories, like health care reform, under one URL, and does not subject them to the vicissitudes of the search engine - though you have to visit the Living Story Page to find them...

"There are those who claim we have to choose between paying down our deficits on the one hand, and investing in job creation and economic growth on the other," he said. "This is a false choice."

That deserves to be called a breakthrough. The new pups, whose creation in two separate labs in China was announced in July, were the first to be bred from induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells. These are adult cells (usually skin cells) that scientists reprogram back to their embryonic state by introducing four genes. The reprogrammed stem cells are then programmed again to develop into mice...
