• The importance of blood vessel reorganization after face transplants

  Dorothy L. Tengler Medical & Allied Healthcare

  For the handful of full facial transplants that have been performed, there is a complex rehabilitation process during which the patient learns how to eat, speak and make facial expressions again. The biologic changes that happen after full face transplantation were not fully understood until recent discoveries. Researchers have found that in the months following the procedure, the blood vessels in the faces of transplant recipients ​are actually able to reorganize themselves.

• The best Porsche that was never built

  Jason Gonzalez Recreation & Leisure

  I was reveling in a 15-minute break from work (and life in general) and prodding through the online classifieds in search of my next something to long for. My standard exercise includes a general vintage, an approximate price tag and a manufacturer before clicking the search button on Google. Even if my real plan is only to kill a few minutes, I want to feel productive — and who knows, perhaps even yield an effective result. How much would I afford myself today? What distinguished breed of GT car would I fancy researching, inspecting and negotiating for?

• Handcuffing the crew: When rules and regulations get in the way

  Mark Huber Medical & Allied Healthcare

  ​We all need rules. Especially those of us who fly. The days of reckless barnstorming — especially in the wake of 9/11 and the new national nervousness — are long behind us. Now we go to simulator training, we have best practices, and we get audited by independent watchdogs and insurers. Most of this is good and necessary, but some of it has the effect of retarding flight crew decision-making skills, turning them into mindless automatons who slavishly follow data trails and flight directors, sometimes with tragic results.
