...Being frugal is in, and being lavish is out," says Beth Strobel, director of marketing at PayPal. So shoppers are programmed to wait for huge bargains...
...reach base safely. Black would give up three straight singles, one that drove home Commissiong, before yielding to co-captain and starting shortstop Bailey Vertovez.With little time to warm up, Vertovez walked a run home before allowing a 2-RBI single to Bears freshman Jackie Giovanniello.Brown rookie Kate Strobel then hit a three-run bomb to straightaway center, her second home run of the day, to break the game open, 11-4.“We just need to prevent the runaway inning, just try to hit our spots a little better,” junior pitcher Dana Roberts said.Harvard...
...progress and turbulence for scientists experimenting for the first time outside the lab with genetically engineered bacteria. This past April, California scientists made the first outdoor tests of ice-minus, a bacterium genetically altered to retard frost formation on leaves. Only four months later, Montana State University Professor Gary Strobel created a national outcry when it became known that he had flouted strict federal regulations by failing to get approval before injecting elm trees with bacteria designed to combat Dutch elm disease. This week Clemson University scientists, mindful of public fears about the escape of dangerous microbes, will begin...
...Strobel's unauthorized action, which earned him a slap on the wrist from the EPA and Montana State, as well as the disapproval of most U.S. scientists, was not in itself dangerous -- federal officials and researchers alike agree on that. But by sidestepping the arduous regulatory process, Strobel fanned the fears of those who think genetically altered bugs might behave unpredictably in the wild, setting off an ecological catastrophe or disrupting local ecosystems. Most scientists consider the public's fears exaggerated, but they nonetheless acknowledge the need for caution. Says David Drahos, a senior research group leader at Monsanto...
...tracking techniques continue to improve, regulators may allow more field tests of genetically altered organisms. Few scientists expect a repeat of Strobel's iconoclastic behavior. Says Nickolas Panopoulos, a University of California, Berkeley, plant pathologist: "I don't think anyone would risk his career, bad publicity and maybe no grants for years to do it. And I would hope there won't be more unregulated releases, because it creates a bad impression...
