...early years of the Depression, in fact, were marked by repeated periods during which the economy seemed to stabilize, only to careen further downward - usually as the result of some new spate of bank failures. Since March, the economy has clearly been stabilizing, but there's no guarantee that trend will continue. The data lately have been mixed - today, durable-goods orders were up by more than expected, while new home sales were down by more than expected. So the Fed remains in a holding pattern, one that Goodfriend expects will continue for months...
...infection in the appendix. Led by Dr. Richard Bachur, chief of emergency medicine at Children's Hospital Boston, researchers discovered the hallmark protein by collecting and analyzing urine samples from 12 pediatric patients with confirmed cases of appendicitis (determined by inspection of the appendix after surgery). From an initial result involving thousands of different proteins, researchers narrowed the potential candidates by comparing the 12 samples to those from healthy children without appendicitis. "We analyzed the proteins to see which were statistically significant compared with [the controls], and this gave us a short list," explains Hanno Steen, director of the Proteomics...
...reason for LRG's accuracy may have to do with its origin. Kentsis explains that the protein is specific to the immune cells that characterize appendicitis, and is likely a direct result of the infection, unlike other proteins that may be produced in a biological chain reaction, stemming from but distant to the original infection. "It makes good biological sense why LRG would be elevated in patients with appendicitis," he says...
...size and scope of the reductions will vary across the Schools and units, but when taken together these changes will result in the elimination of approximately 275 staff positions. About 40 more staff members will be offered positions with reduced work hours or an academic year schedule. Deans at the affected Schools and department leaders will be communicating directly with their staff members about the changes taking place in their local communities over the coming days...
...leader Kim Jong Il got an unnerving, firsthand demonstration of the potential downside of technology. A huge explosion ripped through the Ryongchon border station, and some officials initially thought it was an assassination attempt triggered by a cell phone. As it turned out, the fireball was more likely the result of two trains' colliding nearby, possibly as a result of miscommunication about changed schedules stemming from Kim's clandestine travels. But regardless of the actual cause, that still mysterious incident, which killed or injured 1,300, persuaded Kim to temporarily shelve plans for extending cell-phone coverage beyond...
