...such genes were previously identified in ants and slime molds, the FLO1 yeast research now represents “the most detailed genetic analysis of green beard genes to date,” Verstrepen said. David C. Queller, a professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at Rice University, said of the research, “I find it interesting that an organism as well-studied as yeast has these green-beard genes. Perhaps once we look close enough, we might find them to be more common, at least in microbial systems. That’s not something...
...chiefs of anti-Indian extremist groups Jaish-e-Mohamed (JeM) and Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT). Pakistan has yet to accede to these demands, though it has called for the formation of a joint investigative arm to ferret out terrorists who plague both nations. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is due to land in New Delhi on Wednesday in a show of support for India's fight against terrorism.

That's where Damaris goes to find a specialized nail clipper she needs for the manicurist test she's taking the following week. But it costs nearly...
...sheiks have been waiting for several hours now, and it's time for lunch. A row of aluminum tables is placed in the quadrangle, and giant trays of rice and lamb appear. The sheiks stand around as they eat directly from the trays. Everybody seems to agree that it has been a most productive morning, and as they depart, the sheiks make sure to compliment the al-Hais chieftains, Mohammed and Hamid, who beam with satisfaction. "This is politics, Anbar style," says Hamid. And what does he think of the election? "The only way anybody else...
