NSF will fund the X-Labs through a rarely used mechanism, called Other Transaction Authority, that gives it much greater leeway than usual to choose winners and set funding and goals. For example, it allows NSF to make awards to nontraditional recipients such as a limited partnership or a venture capital firm, some of which might have been created solely for the purpose of receiving the NSF award.

I love being home. My career has been built on helping people cook great food, organize their homes, and fill every nook and cranny with things they love (more on my background below). Yet I’ve never really had a chance to create that ideal space myself. My husband and I spent our entire married life together, more than 20 years, in a Brooklyn apartment. Facing empty nestdom as our children headed off to college, we decided to branch out and find a place in a warmer climate—for part of the year now, and maybe for more of it in the future.
Detailing the only option that his colleagues have in hospitals to fight the severe malnutrition in children, Al-Farra said that Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, has managed to provide small amounts of emergency baby formula, known as F-75 and F-100, to treat acute malnutrition in babies. The doctor, however, said children's conditions often deteriorate again after being discharged from the hospital. "We give the children a bit of formula -- F-75, F-100 -- from MSF, just in the hospital," he explained. "They get a little better, and then we have to send them home, because we need the bed for the next child. But outside, there's no food, no milk, no protein. They come back a week later, worse than before."

The Cocord Hymn By the rude bridge that arched the flood, Their flag to April’s breeze unfurled, Here once the embattled farmers stood And fired the shot heard round the world. The foe long since in silence slept; Alike the conqueror silent sleeps; And Time the ruined bridge has swept Down the dark stream which seaward creeps. On this green bank, by this soft stream, We set today a votive stone; That memory may their deed redeem, When, like our sires, our sons are gone. Spirit, that made those heroes dare To die, and leave their children free, Bid Time and Nature gently spare The shaft we raise to them and thee.
