...plan. It happened to me, in a matter of speaking. And it happened to me when I joined Parsons School of Design in 1983-as a fine artist, not as a designer. I was thrown into a world of many kinds of design, from fashion to architecture to product interiors and graphic design. I had entered Parsons in the admissions office and spent a number of years interviewing students and looking at portfolios representing all these disciplines, so I had to learn a lot about them. And then by a crisis of leadership in the fashion program at Parsons, which...
...journalism as an essential public service. It's not unlike what nonprofit entities like NPR, PBS and CSPAN - as well as journalism organizations like The Center for Public Integrity and the Center for Investigative Reporting have been doing for decades. But with most of Pro Publica's assets the product of the Sandlers' largesse, it leaves the group open to speculation, as Slate media columnist Jack Shafer pointed out, that the Sandlers political views could influence coverage: the couple have donated heavily to the Democratic Party and the progressive activism group MoveOn.org. "The perennial problem of nonprofit journalism...

And Israelis experience the same images of a Gaza rocket attack in the exterminationist frame of Auschwitz, not simply as a product of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over land...
...strategy. When McDonald's was struggling in late 2002 and early 2003, it announced the closure of nearly 700 stores in order to weed out less-profitable operations and focus on improving returns at existing stores. To drive traffic to those stores, the hamburger heavyweight then buckled down on product development, rolling out new offerings like salads. Starbucks is also kicking up its R&D machine, debuting, among other things, smoothie-style drinks later this month...
Cullen and his team were able to replicate the intricate process using lab mice. They started by identifying the tiniest components of the HSV-1 strain. In its latent stage, HSV-1 produces a single molecular product, called latency-associated transcript RNA, or LAT RNA. Unlike most messenger RNA, LAT RNA doesn't produce proteins, so scientists have never been able to determine LAT RNA's exact function. But by inserting the LAT RNA into mice, Cullen found that it breaks down into even smaller strands called microRNA. Researchers then discovered that it was the microRNA that blocked production...
