Today's Story Highlights

Bioprinting, Part 1: The Promise and the Pitfalls
It's long been the dream of humans to be able to regenerate body parts.
Scientists have been researching this possibility for years, but the
subject is complex, and they are just beginning to get to a glimmer of
understanding as to what's required. "There are different layers of
complexity in developing tissue-engineered products," said Charlie
Whelan, a consultant at Frost & Sullivan.

Rocket the Vote! NASA Asks People to Vote on New Space Threads
NASA is asking people to vote on their favorite design for the outer
shell of the new Z-2 spacesuit. While the Z-2 models may descend from
their Apollo 13-style ancestors, there are some decidedly 21st Century
twists. The "Biomimicry" design, for example, has a reptilian flare;
"Trends in Society" has a more everyday look -- at least, as far as
spacesuits go.

Obama, Legislators Tackle Bulk Surveillance Issue
The political frenzy over the NSAy's collection of Americans' bulk
telephone metadata is escalating, with both the White House and the U.S.
House of Representatives' Intelligence Committee announcing plans to
introduce legislation to regulate the practice. The White House's
proposal reportedly would require phone companies to store the data and
provide it under a court order.

Rumor vs. Reality in Silicon Valley, Part 1
Like most small, inbred communities, Silicon Valley encourages and
thrives on gossip, even when it's of little substance. In popular-speak,
Valley gossip has a "low signal to noise ratio," but the rumor mill is
vibrantly alive despite that shortcoming -- partly due to venture
capitalists, whose efforts parallel the day-to-day business of
technology.
