...adhere to the nerve," essentially fusing a connection in the brain, explains Dr. Hakon Harkonarson, director of the Center for Applied Genomics at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and a lead author of the study. Preliminary research suggests that cadherin 10 is very active in wiring the frontal cortex of the brain during fetal development...
...With the question of Qasab's age set aside, the prosecutor launched a full frontal attack on Pakistan - the unnamed but ever-present fourth defendant on trial in Mumbai. (Qasab's co-defendants are Fahim Ansari and Sabahuddin Sheikh, both Indians, who were arrested before the Mumbai attacks but are suspected of helping with some preliminary planning.) As he outlined the details of the case, Nikam focused his argument on the second charge of "waging war against the government of India." The attacks, he said, had "the definite target of capturing Kashmir." (Lashkar e Taiba, a jihadi group that...
...edge of Pakistan's tribal areas, killing more than 70 in one of the deadliest attacks the country has seen in recent months. The city of Lahore was long considered immune to terrorism strikes, but it suffered its first suicide bombing in January 2008.

...recidivism, the overall number of juvenile offenders transferred to the criminal-justice system should be minimized." That came three years after the U.S. stopped executing minors, following a Supreme Court decision, Roper v. Simmons, that was largely based on new brain research showing that the full development of the frontal lobe, where rational judgments are made, does not occur until the early- to mid-20s. At the state level, Missouri is leading the country by phasing out its large juvenile-detention institutions in favor of smaller facilities, closer to kids' homes, that offer more specialized services, like mental-health...
Roberts has largely stayed away from leading roles since falling for cameraman Danny Moder. (They married in 2002.) There's been voice work (Charlotte's Web) and favors to friends, including two irritatingly meta parts for Steven Soderbergh, in Full Frontal and Ocean's Twelve. (Addressing the self-spoofing, she told Allure recently, "I'm just lazy. It's so easy.") In 2004, just before her motherhood-necessitated work slowdown, she veered into intriguing adult territory with Owen in Closer, projecting a chilliness that felt a bit forced but suggested she was willing to forgo audience adulation...
