...That's not an overstatement. The genome in Venter's lab in Rockville, Md., could revolutionize genetics, introducing a new world order in which the alchemy of life is broken down into the ultimate engineering project. Man-made genomes could lead to new species that churn out drugs to treat disease, finely tuned vaccines that target just the right lethal bug, even cells that convert sunlight into a biofuel...
...situation is likely to only grow worse as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan continue, and as the Army presses on with its plan to add 65,000 troops by 2010 to a total of 547,000. The figures are part of an analysis released by the National Priorities Project, a Massachusetts-based research group that assesses federal spending. The NPP, which is opposed to the war, generated the data from material it obtained from the U.S. Army Recruiting Command under a Freedom of Information Act request...
...Each of the five films was made for $30 million or less - unheard of when the average studio project costs three times that - and Juno had a ludicrously low budget of $2.5 million. Yet that endearing/annoying (take your pick) comedy about a pregnant teenager is the one solid hit among the Big Five. The movie, which has been in wide release only since Christmas day, has already earned $87 million. None of the others has yet topped $50 million at the domestic wickets (though the Brit Atonement is in Juno's league if you count the international gross...
...area adjacent to Brown's, the new CLC contracts will mean that 30% of all his workers will take a 30% pay cut next month. "My CLCs are going to change pretty drastically," says Willig. Previously Willig thought he could at least rely upon funds for micro-grants project to spark economic activity by helping Iraqis who wouldn't transition from the CLCs to the army or police to segue into small business. "The feeling was [micro-grants] was the best thing going," says Willig. He has received application packets for $150,000 in grants, but the colonel overseeing...
...punishing environment. (Extreme heat and dust - common in the desert - can reduce the efficiency of many solar panels.) For Gulf nations like the UAE, blessed with no shortage of sunlight, solar power could potentially be the oil of the future. "I think there is great, great potential here," says project manager Sameer Abu Zaid, as he toured the testing facility, the sound of the call to evening prayers echoing over the desert. "This is very exciting...
