...like HIV, can cause infectious diseases and are not always easy to control, so before testing this approach in humans, researchers need to find other modes of transport for the critical compounds. The good news is that they need the genes to churn out their proteins for a only brief period of time, so using less virulent viruses, such as the adenovirus (responsible for the common cold) or simply saturating the cell with growth factors and nutrients directly may work. "Technically, it should be possible to introduce genes or protein to reprogram cells," says Hochedlinger...
...million in salary and nearly six times that in bonuses, according to Forbes.com. Originally from New York City, Chenault graduated magna cum laude in history from Bowdoin College in 1973 and then moved to Cambridge to attend law school. Armed with his HLS degree, Chenault worked for a brief time as an attorney at Rogers & Wells before crossing the line into the financial world as a management consultant for Bain & Co., where he worked until 1981. Since then, he has been a part of AMEX, where he rose in the ranks, occupying various directorial positions in the sub-divisions...
...when the issue of sentencing came around, Fitzgerald changed his tune, arguing that the underlying (and uncharged) crime was so serious as to warrant a sentence twice as long as what the federal probation office recommended; notably, his brief included the revelation that the CIA did consider Plame's identity classified, at least for 18 months. And Tuesday, Walton apparently bought it, declaring before he announced the sentence that Libby could be considered an accessory to the underlying crime because, at least in part, his obstruction of justice made it all but impossible for the government to make the case...
...Thanks to Fitzgerald's brief advocating a stiff sentence for Libby, we found out last week that the CIA did indeed consider Plame's identity classified, at least for 18 months. The prosecutor has brought this up now in apparent support of a remarkable claim: Libby should serve 30 to 37 months in prison-about twice what the federal probation office recommends and way more than the probation favored by the defense-because the underlying (and uncharged) crime was so serious...
...coup. As for Venezuela's private TV channels, Chavez may never have gained the popularity he needed to be elected president if it weren't for the spotlight that they gave him after he led a failed coup d'etat against the government in 1992. His brief speech, including the famous comment that "For now, the objective that we set out was not achieved," helped him become a national hero and doubtless assisted him when he was released from prison and ran for president six years later. For now, however, that irony is lost on his government...
