TERC is likely only one of several genes that influence telomere length, says Tim Spector of Kings College London, who co-led the study. "Our next step will be to use whole genome sequencing to expand our search from 500,000 to 50 million [genetic] markers. TERC is almost certainly only the first piece of the genetic puzzle," he says...
...comment on foreign aid for education. One of the easiest projects to fund in developing countries is building a school. Schools are useless without teachers and teachers in developing countries are poorly educated and qualified. Many daunting problems would evaporate if all the world was similarly well educated. A step in that direction would be to channel educational aid into a massive project to send all newly qualified teachers from richer countries on a gap year to teach in an underdeveloped country. The teachers are young, fresh and motivated and would inspire their pupils likewise. Joanna Perry, SWAZILAND...

The first step was to reopen all supply channels by paying $34 million to settle the DEA's allegations surrounding the firm's role in filling fake prescriptions. Then Barrett narrowed Cardinal's sources for generics from 120 to a few dozen to ensure that it could consistently offer the lowest prices...
...dream-pop duo Beach House has always run counter to its name. Full of cold, echoing vocals and propelled by a lulling drone, Beach House songs are more March in Montauk than July on the Cape. But Teen Dream, the band's third and most accomplished album, takes one step closer to the sun. Warm guitars, swoon-inducing melodies--why, the whole thing's positively springlike. You can almost forgive the pair the cruel joke of releasing it in the dead of winter...
