...from that sample are part of a group that scientists call clade 1. But the viruses that have recently spread so rapidly among birds from Asia to Europe and Africa are part of a new group called clade 2. Preliminary evidence suggests that there?s not a lot of cross-reactivity between the two clades. That means that a person who has become immune - through sickness or inoculation - to an H5N1 virus from clade 1 would still be vulnerable to a clade 2 viral infection...
...executives will probably not be consistent, says, Houston attorney Joel Androphy, author of a four-volume textbook, White Collar Crime. Although Skilling and Lay probably won't turn against each other-they haven't so far-they may well contradict one another. "Both defense attorneys came in and cross-examined with one hand tied behind their back," Androphy says. The problem was most obvious during the testimony of former CFO Andrew Fastow, when Lay's attorneys failed to get him to differentiate between the job responsibilities of the two men.

There are more drownings from people falling through thin ice in winter and from hunters trying to cross streams in the summer that became torrents because of melting glaciers...

Heist's crooks don't kill--in the pilot, they foil a murder--and they take, Robin Hood-- like, only from the rich. (So they skip the give-to-the-poor bit. Nobody's perfect!) In fact, Heist's greatest crime is robbing innocent movies of their clichés: the Tarantino-gone-PG banter, the whooshing camera shots, the generic peppy jazz that sounds as if it were lifted from a Putumayo Presents Lighthearted Caper Music...
...walking down the sidewalk alone and notice a couple of young black guys heading in my direction, I intentionally do not cross the street. I don?t clutch my bag a little tighter, or keep a hand on the rape whistle on my keychain. I want them to know that I?m not afraid of them. Or, more to the point, that they?re not universally feared...
