Scientists have tricked bone marrow into releasing extra adult stem cells into the bloodstream, a technique that they hope could one day be used to repair heart damage or mend a broken bone, in a new study published today in the journal Cell Stem Cell. When a person has a disease or an injury, the bone marrow mobilises different types of stem cells to help repair and regenerate tissue.

Nvidia Debuts GeForce 3D Vision Glasses

Nvidia today released a new line of wireless shutter 3D glasses--another revival of a technology long perceived as a gimmick. The real shocker? These things might be worth a look. "The visual effect is more than simply cheap Hollywood-style 3D flash," writes CNET in its positive preview. "In Left 4 Dead, we had the sense of a much more immersive depth of field than you get from standard 3D games on a 2D display." The GeForce 3D Vision glasses use battery-powered, active stereoscopic technology to create its 3D effect at 60 FPS--different from ATI's passive iZ3D pair. ...

Filed under: Journeys, Real Estate DevelopmentsMany people might not be thinking of buying a restaurant or hotel right now but Château du Sureau is a pretty tempting package. The hotel, also known as the Estate by the Elderberries is located in Oakhurst, California at the Sierra Mountain foothills just miles from the southern gate of Yosemite National Park, 4 hours from LA, 3.5 hours from San Francisco. The manor-style 10-room hotel has a grand staircase, leaded glass windows and rooms with antiques, canopy beds, fireplaces, tapestries, and large soaking tubs. The grounds include a pool, pond, bocce court, gazebo, and a giant chessboard. A two-bedroom, French-style villa is at the far end of the estate. The property includes the Elderberry House restaurant which has hand-stenciled beamed cathedral ceilings and a fireplace and the Spa du Sureau which is an art-deco style retreat. The luxury retreat is known for being an expensive (rates start around $400 a night) yet charming place to stay. You can continue the legacy for $12 million.%Gallery-40568%Château du Sureau For Sale originally appeared on Luxist on Thu, 08 Jan 2009 08:01:00 EST.

Three Wise Men's Parade
05.01.2009 10:13
spainforvisitors.com
Most Spaniards continue to resist the invasion of Father Christmas or Santa Claus, preferring to have their Christmas gifts brought by the Reyes Magos, the Three Wise Men: Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. Their processions are held on the eve (January 5th) of Epiphany (January 6th) in towns and cities throughout the country (oddly, they are a rare opportunity for political rivals to cooperate - the Magi are generally "played" by local politicians, one from each of the leading parties). The parades are led by floats representing more earthly concerns like telephony operators or department stores, then come the Reyes Magos (complete with camels), flinging sweets to the crowds of small children which line the route. The gifts the Magi bring later that night will be opened the next day, the last (twelfth) day of Christmas, this being Father Christmas's only real strong point in Spain - the children have little time to enjoy their presents before school resumes the following day, so in many households these are divided into two lots, one brought by Santa Claus, the other by the Three Wise Men.
