...energized as he was by the work, the ambitious and freethinking Venter chafed at what he calls the "bureaucratic hell" there and longed for the opportunity to test the innovative ideas he had for transforming the emerging field of genetics. In 1992 he secured private funding and created his own company, the Institute for Genomic Research in Rockville. Within three years he completed the first-ever genome sequencing of an entire organism-Haemophilus influenzae, the bacterium that causes meningitis. The firm soon became a go-to place for sequencing projects, and it wasn't long before Venter hungered...
...share of new recruits labeled "high quality" by the Army - those with at least a high-school diploma and who rank in the top half of the military's qualification test - has also dropped markedly since the Iraq war began, from 56.2% in 2005 to 44.6% last year. Recruits from families with annual incomes below $60,000 are over-represented in uniform, the study says, while those from families earning more are under-represented. The higher-income, better-educated recruits are especially prized by the Army because they have the skills needed to master the increasingly complex equipment that...

Neklason says that her study underscores the importance of knowing one's family history, being vigilant about health and, if necessary, getting a genetic test. About 5% of colon cancers are known to be hereditary, and another 25% have some familial, or genetic, component that researchers have not yet pinpointed (the majority of colon cancers, however, are linked to environmental and lifestyle factors, such as diet and smoking). If you have had 10 or more polyps, then you should consider genetic testing; if a genetic mutation is identified, your relatives should also be tested. If your family lineage links...
Florida will also test their messages in a different way. It is the biggest, most diverse battleground they have encountered. The state also is feeling increasingly anxious about the economy, suffering from the subprime mortgage meltdown, an insurance crisis and a 49% surge in the number of unemployed...
