...selected according to their activity levels, Lightfoot identified 20 different genomic locations that work in tandem to influence their activity levels - specifically, how far the animals will run. Lightfoot's team is the first to identify these genetic areas and the first to figure out that they function in concert. The researchers say the areas they found on the mouse genome may have analogs in humans, and the UNC team is now gearing up to conduct a similar study in men and women. "We have put forward a fairly complete genomic map of the areas that are associated with regulation...
...chaplains. It's easy to see why Delargy, slouched on a couch at Dublin's Windmill Lane Studios, already complains of exhaustion. Yet they will only get busier. A British film team is shadowing them for a documentary airing this fall, and in September the group will record a concert at the Roman Catholic Cathedral in Armagh, Northern Ireland, for future broadcast on public TV stations across the U.S. The promotional travel will be punishing, too. Wright, their manager, says: "They'll work as priests until the end of Tuesday, wake up early Wednesday, fly wherever, work all day Wednesday...
Farm aid, the annual concert dedicated to raising funds for the American family farmer, has been held in such agricultural strongholds as Manor, Texas, and Ames, Iowa. But the most recent venue, the distinctly nonrural borough of Manhattan, is not as incongruous as it seems.

In July volunteers began transforming the front lawns of San Francisco's city...

Digg.com founder Kevin Rose likes the way Qik enriches communication. "Think of the next time you're making a buying decision or attending a concert," Rose says. "Qik allows you to share these experiences and have a live conversation with the people watching. That's extremely powerful...
...mark its 25th anniversary, the ''Conspiracy of Hope'' tour hopscotched across America by chartered 707 jet with the aforementioned lot, plus Sting and Canadian Rocker Bryan Adams, along with assorted one-night stand-ins including Bob Dylan and Bob Geldof. Very nice crew indeed, but really, aren't benefit concerts wearing a trifle thin? ''Everyone wanted us to go away after Live Aid,'' concedes Bono, an unquenchable Irishman. ''The music industry would be delighted to get back to packaging us like perfume commercials.'' But the pull of just one more won out. The tour was the idea of John Healey...
