...moles, scars, tattoos--can also prove decisive in making a positive identification. All these data are fed into computers at the DVI Information Management Center in Phuket, which tries to match victims to families. "It isn't rocket science," says Robert Jensen, president of Houston-based disaster-management firm Kenyon, which is doing forensic and mortuary work. "It's harder than rocket science because it's blended with human emotion...
With Harvard leading 68-66, Rogus nailed a jumper from the deep corner to cap off an 11-0 run and give the Crimson a four-point lead.

The Crimson would take the lead one last time on a Beatty put back of a Norman miss, but Fisher would hit two free throws and Derek Stribling added a finger roll to put the Golden Eagles back...
...University of California, San Francisco, meanwhile, molecular geneticist Cynthia Kenyon is taking a different approach to aging research, identifying a number of genes in roundworms that help stave off disease and extend life. One such gene directs the action of a receptor for insulin and an insulin-like hormone called IGF1, and by manipulating it along with other genes, she can increase the worms' life-span sixfold. "It's not so much that they're just living longer," she says. "What's remarkable about these worms is how healthy they...
...story is more complex: Kenyon has found that hormones in her long-lived worms actually regulate several unusual genes to increase life-span. One set of genes triggers the worms' cells to make antioxidants, which fight off the ravages of molecules called free radicals, which can damage DNA. Another set directs the creation of proteins called chaperones; they help other proteins fold into their proper shapes. They also detect and destroy improperly folded proteins that can cause such aging-related ailments as Huntington's disease. Other genes affect the transport of fat around the body--which may also have...
...players it's a chance for a preseason tune-up in a perfect environment--away from their rabid fans. "The facilities are second to none," says Chelsea Football Club CEO Peter Kenyon. But, more important, the big clubs see the U.S. as a vital market in the race to establish a global brand and cash in an ocean away from home. Only teams that have global reach will be able to afford the star players who ensure winning results year after year.
