...levels observed in the study, according to John Coates, a Wall Street trader turned Cambridge scientist and the study's lead author. "Which means there's 80% left unexplained. It's like height in tennis. It appears to give you some sort of advantage, but there's probably a dozen other things giving you an advantage, and if you were to focus just on [height], you'd be missing all sorts of great players like Jimmy Connors," Coates says. "You need speed, you need agility, you need insight, you need intelligence - it's the same thing in trading...
...century has never recovered from the effects of Marx and Freud.” (V.G.); “But whether or not this is a good thing or a bad thing is difficult to say.” (A.E.) Now one such might be droll enough. But by the dozen? This, the quantitative aspect of grading—we are, after all, getting $5 a head for you dolls and therefore pile up as many of you a piece as we can get—this is what too many of you seem to forget. “Coleridge...
...drive, he didn’t always know where to direct it,” Ganong says. Upon his arrival at HSHS, Yelbi, with the help of Ganong and other Harvard volunteers, began what has been a year-long process of applying as a transfer student to a dozen American colleges.In the spring of 2008, they began the work of crafting a successful application package.

In the 70s he owned the comedy-caper genre, for what that's worth, with The Hot Rock, Bank Shot and Hot Stuff. He wrote scripts based on his own novels and those of other crime writers, incl. Jim Thompson's The Grifters (Oscar nomination) and Patricia Highsmith...
...their discovery could one day be used to help control A. aegypti's population. Considering that the diseases the mosquito carries - dengue and yellow fevers, which together affect up to 100 million people a year, mostly in tropical and subtropical regions - recently made the Wildlife Conservation Society's Deadly Dozen wildlife-diseases list, winnowing A. aegypti's numbers has become a bit more urgent. Since this study offers proof that females are not promiscuous - they won't mate for a day or so following an act of copulation - scientists can try using lab-sterilized males to edge out their fertile...
