...better for specialty remodelers, who can target deep-pocketed consumers like Mike Engel of Bend, Ore. When he decided to fix up his three-car garage, he characterized it as a "dumping ground and completely dysfunctional." So extreme was the clutter that of his three vehicles, he could fit only the Porsche inside. Engel contacted Mike Maxwell, owner of Garage Improvement, a Garage Envy dealer in Oregon, who completed the makeover this July for $15,500. Maxwell added stain-resistant rubber flooring, cabinetry, recessed lighting and a hot-and-cold water faucet so Engel could wash his cars...
...next nine months, says a person briefed on activity in the program, some at the agency developed a bias for killing its targets instead of bringing them in for questioning, though sources add that ground conditions make capture impossible anyway. Goss's suspension order left officers in the agency's directorate of operations, says the source, repeatedly asking the question, What are we going to do with these guys if we capture them? So far in 2006, as government sources and public reports indicate, few if any terrorist suspects have been captured by the CIA. But at least four--including...
...easy one. Like any complex organic molecule, DNA degrades over time, and bones that lie in the ground for thousands of years become badly contaminated with the DNA of bacteria and fungi. Anyone who handles the fossils can also leave human DNA behind. After probing the remains of about 60 different Neanderthals out of the 400 or so known, Pääbo and his team found only two with viable material. Moreover, he estimates, only about 6% of the genetic material his team extracts from the bones turns out to be Neanderthal...

Then there's what political pros call the ground game. For most of the 20th century, turning out voters on Election Day was the Democrats' strength. They had labor unions to supply workers for campaigns, make sure their voters had time off from their jobs to go to the polls and provide rides to get them there...
...sideline. And while Pizzotti saw only limited time in a single practice this week, the Mountain Hawks entered the game fresh off their bye. Lehigh quarterback Sedale Threatt, son of the former NBA player of the same name, did pass for 293 yards and two scores. But his famed ground game didn’t prove a factor, as he managed net negative yards rushing the ball.“They had two weeks to prepare for us,” Murphy said. “They had it schemed up and ready to go. It took us a while...
