| Bail them ALL out!
I personally would prefer bailouts, though, where the chief moron who approved the gargantuan loan gaffes does not get multimillion-buck golden parachutes they're escorted out the door.

StemCor Systems Receives FDA Clearance for Bone Marrow Harvesting ...
MENLO PARK, Calif., Oct. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- StemCor Systems, Inc., a medical device company developing systems for Enabling Regenerative Medicine(TM), announced today that it has received 510(k) clearance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to market its MarrowMiner(TM) for the harvest of bone marrow. "Regulatory clearance of StemCor's MarrowMiner is a major accomplishment for the Company as we develop the necessary tools to extract, process and deliver bone marrow-derived adult stem and progenitor cells," said Vartan Ghazarossian, PhD, President and CEO of StemCor Systems. "The MarrowMiner is the first minimally-invasive system for the collection of bone marrow, making marrow extraction faster, safer and more comfortable. Physicians will now be able to use this system to collect marrow from healthy donors for bone marrow transplantation, as well as from patients who are to be treated with their own marrow-derived cells, for an expanding array of current and emerging regenerative medicine applications." "We believe this novel and innovative system addresses a large unmet clinical need to gain access to sufficient adult-bone marrow derived cells in a safe, convenient and reliable manner," said Paul Yock, MD, Weiland Professor of Medicine and Bioengineering and Director, Program in Biodesign, Stanford University.

David was scheduled to introduce a short video that tells the story of Sally's Y. He wanted to speak then sit there, watch the video filled with pictures of Sally, see the reaction in the room and feel her presence again. But Clark signaled a friend on the dais and excused himself to a hallway outside the ballroom. His friend, Greg Currie, followed him. With the muffled sound of Jo Dee Messina's song, "Heaven Must Have Needed A Hero" coming from the big room, Clark stood in the hallway and cried on his friend's shoulder. `You're trying to find traction' Jo Clark was 15 when she met her husband and many of their first dates consisted of them going to Cowans Ford Country Club in Stanley, where she would watch David hit golf balls on the practice range.

McGurn, a veteran of the Wall Street Journal and National Review, also told us that President Bush is the most exacting editor he's every had. "I've been edited by Bob Bartley [of the Wall Street Journal] and Bill Buckley [of National Review] and the president is by far the most thorough and sharp editor." It's an hour that really captures the behind the scenes of the president's day to day life — and looks ahead at his final year in office.
