The FDA finally gave the go ahead for the first stem cell therapy trials. If any of you out there never understood the great potential of stem cells, there’s a cool little video at the end demonstrating how they have been used to fix spinal cord injuries in rats.

Am I picking on a teenager?
I love Boston.com with all my heart, and this morning’s find is an example of why. Today I came across a great “article” by a Newton South High School student, teaching the unhip how understand what those crazy suburban kids are saying these days. Becca Goldstein, I hope that you are not going to pursue a career in journalism, because 7 out of 7 of your ”slang”...

“There’s worry that the states just aren’t ready to move on stuff. They haven’t done the planning and the engineering they need to jump into major projects when the funding is there.

How dare you, Michael Flaherty
Listen “city council”, namely Michael Flaherty and Sam Yoon (not that anyone knows any other councilor’s name, beside ol’ Chuck Turner), I want to tell you something very important, this is Boston. Thomas Michael Menino is our mayor, has been pretty much my whole life, AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE UNTIL HE SAYS SO. You remember Maura Hennigan? Neither do I. I know Mumbles...
Another great commute on the MBTA
Today I am fortunate enough to work at our satellite office in Needham, which is usually nice and quiet, and the commute is actually enjoyable.. usually. This lovely 5 degree morning, I checked MBTA.com at 7am before leaving my house, like always, to see if there were any delay advisories, and although pretty much all the other routes on the purple line were delayed, the trusty old Needham line...
