...normal mice readily explored the new area, mice which had received long-term doses of the rodent equivalent of cortisol via drinking water were reluctant to explore and exhibited symptoms that the researchers characterized as anxiety. Anxiety in mice placed in this experimental setup generally predicts how humans will react to stress. In another experiment, Ardayfio and Kim showed that chronically dosed mice reacted less strongly to sudden stress, a sign that they were burnt out. After Ardayfio defends his dissertation next month, he hopes to study the cellular and molecular pathways associated with cortisol. He said that such research...
...coitus that he was trying to interruptus—it was the coitus of all Israelites,” Harris said, referring to the killing of the Israelites’ first-born children in Egypt. When Harris said that Pharaoh’s motive was to react to “two professors who wrote about the Hebrew lobby,”— a reference to a controversial paper authored by Kennedy School Academic Dean Stephen M.

The team celebrated their performance by relaxing in the hotel hot tub, drinking, and reminiscing about the months’ preparation, according to Goodkin. “It was the last season for four of us, and this was the perfect...
...current rate of ad sales continues, Clear Channel's Meyer estimates that the boards will produce revenue of $2.3 million in 12 months. Those seven displays in their static form generated $380,000 last year. "An ad medium that historically has been viewed as cumbersome and slow to react is now as flexible as broadcast," says Meyer. It's possible that, given the mobile lifestyle of today's consumers, billboards can reach more people more reliably than TV commercials. A survey released by the Association of National Advertisers and Forrester Research last month found that 78% of U.S. advertisers think...
...high school and shot spitballs at the future politicians sitting up front. But their impact on politics has been perverse. Rather than make the game more interesting, they have drained a good deal of the life from our democracy. They have become specialists in caution, literal reactionaries-they react to the results of their polling and focus groups; they fear anything they haven't tested...
