...study conducted jointly with researchers at Sweden's Karolinksa Institute and Johns Hopkins Brady Urological Institute, among others. Because the variants are common in the general population and their collective association with cancer is so strong, Xu says his findings could help doctors move quickly into the next phase of prostate cancer research: "How to predict individual risk for prostate cancer and catch it early...
...animals like ourselves would have quit trying if the bet didn't pay off sometimes. The eventual goal of any couple is to pass beyond serial dating-beyond even the thrill of early love-and into what's known as companionate love. That's the coffee-and-Sunday-paper phase, the board-games-when-it's-raining phase, and the fact is, there's not a lick of excitement about it. But that, for better or worse, is adaptive too. If partners are going to stay together for the years of care that children require, they need a love that...
...understand why, think of an ice cube. It starts out as water, but as it cools below 32ºF (oºC), it undergoes what's called a phase transition--the same stuff assumes a whole different structure. An ice cube doesn't solidify all at once; the freezing starts in several spots, which grow until they meet. Unless the crystals are perfectly aligned, you get a defect--one of those white streaks inside most ice cubes...
Something similar may have happened to the newborn universe as it expanded and cooled from trillions of degrees to millions to thousands. While this was happening, it went through several phase transitions. Flaws in the fabric of space, similar to the ice streaks, could have remained, acting as gravitational seeds for the growth of galaxies...
...obviously your operation changed a lot, first phase to second phase. What were the good things about the second phase? I think I'm better with a leaner kind of campaign. Less bureaucracy, more quick to react. Close friends. I always enjoy when we all sit down together, and [say] like, "what are we to do?" And everybody talks, and everybody argues. Somebody gets mad, and then we all come to an agreement of what we oughta do. I enjoy that a lot. It helps me enormously to help to think things through. To have people that are basically...
