...DIED. ROSE GACIOCH, 89, star pitcher and outfielder in the heyday of women's professional baseball; in Detroit. As a mainstay for the Rockford Peaches of the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League from 1945 to its demise in 1954, she was a three-time all-star and the model for Rosie O'Donnell's character in the 1992 film A League of Their...
...Iraq. Then again, these places are political and environmental disaster zones in their own rights, replete with legacy pollution from the Soviet era and rapacious governments that are only too keen to make you pay for their mistakes.

Once a specific gene--in a mouse, for example--has been silenced, researchers can determine that gene's function by the effect its silence has on the rest of the organism. It's kind of like isolating the role a single flute plays in a symphony by eliminating all the flutist's notes from the score. Pharmaceutical firms can use the information gleaned from gene silencing...
