For those of you not familiar with the politics, a few years back, San Jose wanted to close Reid-Hillview airport, a small general aviation airstrip, because of "safety concerns" and complaints by the neighbors. Part of the plan was to free up space at SJC by annexing Moffett field and moving the air freight operations there. A great deal for SJC, they get to run air cargo planes in the middle of the night. A great deal for San Jose, because they'd get to collect the tax revenue, and the noise wouldn't bother any San Jose residents. A bad deal for the residents of Mountain View and Sunnyvale, because they get all of the noise, and they'd have absolutely no say in the operation (as it would be owned by San Jose). Strangely enough, the residents of Mountain View and Sunnyvale thought it would be a bad deal.
Well, it would save him from having the tech guys from rummaging through his files. Who knows what they'd screw up while they're pawing through your computer looking for pR0n.
If you have continual tissue damage (e.g. the foreign body keeps cutting and killing cells, perhaps when muscle or skin cells keep rubbing against it) you'll have continual scarring. That means lots of cells dividing, lots of proliferative factors released, etc. Every time a cell divides, there's a chance that it may get f'd up and lose control.
You might check out, for example, the The Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. A sample article (the first article from the first issue of 2001) is here. (New articles require a journal subscription, but archival articles are online). The relevant text, found in the bottom right corner, reads like this:
The publication costs of this article were defrayed in part by page charge payment. This
article must therefore be hereby marked "advertisement" in accordance with 18 U.S.C.
1734 solely to indicate this fact.
I haven't noticed if they do that in recent articles, but the page charges are surely still there. If you want color figures (and who doesn't these days?) most journals charge you $500-800 per figure. Some journals (the Journal of Neuroscience, for example) now charge a "Submission fee" of $70-100 when you hit the submit button; that money goes to the journal even if they summarily reject your article and don't send it for review.
The "open access" model of most journals requires that you add an extra $1000 or so on to the publication costs (which are probably already $1000-$3000) so that it can be viewed by those without a subscription. Or, by people who work at institutions with subscriptions who are at home, but can't get the freaking VPN software to work correctly on Windows Vista because each "beta" version works less reliably than the last.
