...think this is a concomitant of writing a series of novels. If you do that, people obviously develop fairly close relationships with the characters, more so than with just a one-off novel. We get a lot of letters and emails and we try to respond to all of them. I get really, seriously moving messages...
...When I do a deal, it's a reflection of my astuteness as a businessman," he boasts in one of his more modest asides. At their worst, Trump's platitudes sound as if they came out of fortune cookies. ("Wisdom will come provided you give it a chance to develop.") But who can argue with a guy who sent Bernard Madoff packing when the latter came around looking for money: "I had enough going on in my own businesses that I didn't need to be associated or involved with his." Bernie, you're fired...
...vaccine may also prove easier to develop since all it requires is an accurate genetic sequence of three critical virus genes. That could especially help with swine flu, since researchers found back in the 1970s that the virus doesn't grow well in chicken eggs; that could slash the yield and slow production of a potential new vaccine. "As long as we get the genetic sequence of some viral proteins, it doesn't matter where the virus came from - human, swine or bird," says Singhvi. So far, Novavax's shot is still in the testing phase, but its VLP-based...
...fairly blame the pigs (indeed, the CDC has officially stopped calling the virus "swine flu," opting instead for the more hog-friendly 2009 H1N1 flu), can we blame Mexico? That charge doesn't stick either. Decades ago, numerous countries came together to develop the Global Influenza Surveillance Network (GISN), which allows epidemiological teams to spot new flu viruses as soon as they emerge and get vaccines ready in time. But the GISN only tracks human flu, meaning animal flu can slip by undetected. What's more, pigs that carry influenza tend not to die en masse the way flocks...
...attributed this lack of change to graduates using personal networks rather than OCS resources, adding that information is available online so alumni do not need to call OCS for help. “If we have done our job well, we’ve taught them how to develop opportunities for themselves,” Vacca said. Reva P. Minkoff ’08, a former Crimson staff director, used OCS resources after graduation, but said that she did not “feel like they were particularly helpful.” “They tried, and their heart...
