...Desmond has posted 19 tackles for loss and one fumble recovery. And with numbers like those, Murphy has to be pleased to have the Bryant brothers back to add depth to an already stellar defensive line. Although the brothers have an older brother and a younger sister, the football gene only seems to have reached the duo. But for the Bryants, it’s still an entire family affair. Their parents are planning to attend half of this season’s games, including last Friday’s night game against Holy Cross...
Political views are often so staunchly held that one wonders whether they aren't hardwired in a person's genes. Indeed, in the past, studies of twins have suggested that DNA may play a role in determining political attitudes. Although no one has yet discovered a gene for, say, supporting the war in Iraq, a small new study by political scientists at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and other institutions reports another association between a person's biology and his politics...
...Palin ally, Anchorage Republican Senator Gene Therriault, formed an impromptu spin room after French's statement, telling the cameramen and reporters who crowded around him that Oct. 10 was an "artificial deadline" and that the real question of the investigation was already solved in his mind - Palin had the right to fire Walt Monegan because he was an at-will employee. But the other question is still germane: Did Palin, her staff and her husband pressure Monegan to remove Wooten from the force? There's evidence to suggest they did, starting with Palin's own admission that there were over...
...both: Would you forcibly quarantine people during a pandemic? Should police at a crime scene be allowed to ask everyone in the area for a DNA sample? Scientists around the world are building robots with real brain tissue; inserting a fish gene for cold tolerance into tomatoes; breeding bacteria that can eat oil spills. Should we be worried that we often learn what is happening in the labs only when the results come out of them...
...these people were barely regulated at all, at least not in the sense that bankers are regulated. "You had a regulatory mechanism that was targeted very narrowly to prudential regulation of the banking industry," says Gene Ludwig, who as Comptroller of the Currency oversaw the nation's big banks from 1993 to 1998. What that did, Ludwig explains, was to motivate banking companies to move activities to their less-regulated affiliates, and give a leg up to competitors (stand-alone investment firms, hedge funds, mortgage brokers, you name it) that weren't being watched by banking regulators...
