...They came across as cranky or boring or stiff, and voters chose the man (Bill Clinton, George W. Bush) who could convincingly play the good ol' boy with southern or Southwest charm. John McCain, who'd been so funny and sunny with his press gang on the Straight Talk Express, turned crotchety in the general campaign and lost to another Harvard smoothie. McCain-Obama was Nixon-Kennedy all over again...
Fancy procedures like Botox, face lifts, and microdermabrasion are among the many tricks that can give aging skin a mask of youth. But Harvard Medical School researchers may have found a gene that can actually hold back the clock. If the quantity of a protein that regulates gene expression and fixes damaged cells is increased, genes may be less likely to deteriorate, according to the study. Cells that remain in better condition for longer age more slowly, theoretically allowing organisms to remain younger longer. “People may have an extended lifespan,” said Raul Mostoslavsky...
...involve an entire day shoehorned into "regional" jets apparently made in a region where all the people are 4 ft. 6. It was the reduced service to secondary markets that prompted some corporations to take action. Toilet-paper and Kleenex maker Kimberly-Clark, for instance, created an airline, Midwest Express, in 1984 partly to compensate for the lack of service in Neenah, Wis. (its headquarters at the time) and to optimize the use of its owned or chartered planes. Midwest Express quickly became known for top-rated service, unsurprising coming from a company that knew a little bit about taking...
...good grades? Sounds like parents...awesome parents. And this isn’t Kopko’s first go at entrepreneurship; he and his brother Matthew founded DormAid during college, a project they continue to manage. “It gives me the ability to express my creativity. My only limits are my ambitions,” Kopko says. But running a company at this age isn’t easy, especially when many of your partners are still in school—Matthew Kopko is currently a law student in Chicago, and chief of marketing for GradeFund, Roy Moran...
...beard gene” was initially proposed by Oxford evolutionary biologist William D. Hamilton in 1964. The idea helps explain how cooperative behavior can evolve among organisms. Biologists have often asked how cooperation could succeed when “cheaters”—organisms that did not express the cooperative gene—could benefit from other organisms’ cooperation. A green beard gene is a gene that allows organisms to cooperate only with other organisms that also have the gene. These organisms can identify each other as easily as if each possessed a green beard. While...
