...core financials and the systems that looked to threaten human safety have, for the most part, been reprogrammed to be able to deal with the date change. And to test the effect of these corrective measures, the University has turned the clock forward to make sure its important machinery doesn't shut down...
Since estrogen is known to protect the heart, it stood to reason that isoflavones might too. But when scientists fed purified isoflavones in pill form to test subjects, their cholesterol levels didn't budge. Now some researchers are focusing on the composition of the protein in soy to explain its potentially beneficial effects, while others argue that it's the combination of the protein and the isoflavones that does...
Having known Mastrantonio, Sayles wrote Donna for her, infusing the character with what he calls her "resilience" and then creating a stern, surprising test for it. Civilization in Alaska is, after all, a thin membrane stretched across a vast wilderness, and the writer-director devises a way for Donna, Joe and her daughter to fall into the darkness. On a seemingly innocent cruise with his half brother, they are beset by murderous demons out of the brother's shady past and become castaways on a deserted island--their resources (and survivalist skills) scant, the knowledge that the criminals must seek...
Parents and schools can guard against harassment by not tolerating it. Give your daughter the strength to say no, loudly--as LaShonda Davis did.

While the age of the donor is probably partly responsible, the research team--which included Ian Wilmut, Dolly's creator--may have discovered another factor. The more time a clone embryo spent in a test tube before transfer to a womb, the shorter the clone's telomeres. "In culture, cells go through 20 divisions," says research director Alan Colman. "That's a significant percentage of the 150 they go through in a lifetime...
