...contrast, the President went all cuddly in his defense of Hastert, calling the ursine Speaker "a father, teacher, coach who cares about the children of this country."

Why was the President so eager to dump Lott and protect Hastert? Because George W. Bush prizes loyalty over competence or accountability...
...most common cause of diarrhea in children is rotavirus, which leads to severe, watery diarrhea. Researchers believe it infects almost every child in the world by age 5 and kills 600,000 of them a year in poor countries. (Children who contract the virus in rich countries, by contrast, usually recover quickly because they are treated aggressively.)

By contrast, Foley was unwilling to risk losing his D.C. life--the Hollywood visitors, the parties, the lambent glow of public attention that enchanted...
...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 with the ER, according to the statement. Brown said that the technique allowed the researchers to identify the location of the relevant genes within the genome as a whole. This research...
