...probably difficult for people to minimize the effects of their own biological rhythms. For example, you cannot avoid your morning risk by simply waking up later. Some researchers have tried an experimental model, in which people were instructed to stay in bed for four hours after they woke up before rising. But the same pattern simply occurred four hours after waking, because the risk is linked to our activities. We can't be afraid of the catecholamines and the peak in blood pressure in the morning. It's part of our physiology. And for healthy people...
...industry consortium's voluntary guidelines will also address consumer privacy and transparency and encourage companies to be up-front about the limitations of genetic-risk information, says Baker, who is hoping to model the new guidelines on her company's official standards of practice. She envisions that companies' adherence to the rules will serve as a "Good Housekeeping seal of approval" to help consumers identify the "quality players" in the field...

Employees call him ''Doctor'' for the Ph.D. in operations research that he earned at Johns Hopkins. ''Malone has three priorities in life,'' says Bill Daniels, an investment banker who specializes in cable...
...pages of transcripts, then summarized it all in an orderly 256-page report that met the deadline set by Ronald Reagan. Led skillfully by former Secretary of State William Rogers, the 13-member group produced a document that Washington's Republican Senator Slade Gorton predicts will become a ''model for presidential commissions for years to come.'' It is a tribute to the openness of the commission's proceedings that few of the answers about Challenger came as a surprise. But the findings did not come easily. Although NASA had generally been cooperative with the commission, its Marshall Space Flight Center...
