...several thousand in total. Since genes have multiple control regions, the map indicates that approximately one thousand genes are influenced by the binding of estrogen to the ER, according to a statement released by Dana-Farber. The map itself was created through a novel technique known as ChIP on chip, which involves purifying regions of the genome that take orders directly from the ER, and placing the regions on microarray chips containing the complete human genome. This process allowed researchers to contrast the two sets of genetic information, and to see which genes are expressed as a result of interaction...
...think we are. Most of the world lives in dire poverty. They don't really know a lot about security to begin with. Since 9/11, the most important thing to Americans is to be secure. This chip implanted in us causes people to shut down, isolate and think of themselves: "I'm going to take care of me. I'll worry about my group and my identity." Any vision of the world is sacrificed for that. We've seen it with the war in Iraq. The fear button gets pushed and everyone is like, "Let's go after Saddam Hussein...
...banking in the mid-1990s, bypassing all messy dealings with checks and other paper transactions. And the government has done its best to boost computer literacy, including running free two-day classes that have been attended by 100,000 people. It now issues national ID cards with a computer chip that contains the owner's digital signature. That enables Estonians to gain access to an ever growing range of electronic services, by networked computers and even mobile phones. Sitting in an Irish bar in Tartu, Jagomägi flicks at his phone and accesses the information provided by the school...
Vacations were short and simple for Mary Kay Conlon and Chip Plumb in their fast-track corporate days. "One phone call, no planning, never more than a week," says Conlon. "We'd just plop on the beach somewhere." But to celebrate their early retirement last year, the Evanston, Ill., couple rented a spacious Paris apartment for six months. "We always regretted that neither of us had done a junior year abroad," says Conlon, 48, a former health-care-industry executive who was eager to immerse herself in another language and culture...
...Bank apartment they rented for $4,500 a month. As Conlon became a familiar face, butchers shared culinary tips and cheesemongers gave her extra samples. Plumb, 49, became a habitué of a hole-in-the-wall café frequented by local tradesmen and accompanied Conlon on explorations around the city. "Chip discovered walks through Paris were even better than walks around a golf course," says Conlon...
