...which has already faced criticism for hastily dismissing previous SMFG overtures, to fully disclose the terms of their offer. Although UFJ has said it is "prudently scrutinizing" SMFG's latest bid, analysts do not expect the MTFG deal to be aborted. "It's hard to imagine that UFJ will switch partners at this point," says Nozomu Kunishige, an analyst at BNP Paribas. Still, Nishikawa has another option: mount a hostile takeover by offering to buy out shareholders directly. On Aug. 17 he told reporters waiting outside his home that that was still a distinct possibility...
...just a physical immigration. It's spiritual," he says. Paul says most of his Parisian friends are considering such a move, and the numbers back him up. In July alone, 800 French Jews immigrated. An Israeli university study recently predicted 30,000 will eventually make the switch. And they're being welcomed by an Israeli government facing demographic challenges from the region's Palestinians. In the 1990s, more than 1.2 million people emigrated to Israel from the former Soviet Union - a huge boost to a nation with 6.5 million citizens, fewer than Paris. But since Russian immigration dried up, Israeli...
While the new policy affects all officially recognized student groups, it does not pertain to unofficial groups such as fraternities, sororities or final clubs, McLoughlin said. In addition, student groups that are incorporated and have acquired their own not-for profit status will be encouraged but not forced to switch to HUECU. This category of not-for-profit groups includes the Harvard Lampoon (a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine), the Harvard Advocate, the Signet Society and the Harvard Glee Club...
Benchmark statistical moments are almost always anticlimactic. When the U.S. population shifted from rural to urban areas in 1920, there was no annunciatory thunderclap. And in about 2060, the year by which census figures suggest that non-Hispanic whites will become less than 50% of the population, the switch will have long been old news. Still, such dates have historical cachet, and 2004 soon may too. The University of Chicago's respected National Opinion Research Center (NORC) has reported that the proportion of adult Americans calling themselves Protestants, a steady 63% for decades, fell suddenly to 52% from...
...athletes are banking on a different strategy: gene therapy. Researchers have developed techniques to insert EPO-producing genes into cells so they can generate additional amounts of EPO long term. But again, says Wadler, "since overproduction of red cells is potentially lethal, this technique requires a pharmacological on-off switch." Researchers are using various techniques to devise controllable EPO delivery systems, in which genes inserted into the skin can be turned on and off either by taking a pill or rubbing a chemical on the skin. Other scientific groups are encapsulating genetically engineered EPO-producing cells in man-made biological...
