...well as studying these populations intensively to unlock their secrets, scientists have also taken a hard look at the very old in the U.S., most notably in the New England Centenarian Study, led by Dr. Thomas Perls, a geriatrician at Boston University, and in a major study under way at the National Institute on Aging. While the very old are happy to offer homespun explanations for their longevity--"I never took a drink"; "I drank a shot of whiskey every day"--experts are trying to unravel and understand the biological factors that allow some people to reach 100 while others...
...nation's largest corporations. Companies from Microsoft to Eli Lilly and Hewlett-Packard are bringing the market inside, with workers trading futures contracts on such "commodities" as sales, product success and supplier behavior. The concept: a work force contains vast amounts of untapped, useful information that a market can unlock. "Markets are likely to revolutionize corporate forecasting and decision making," says Robin Hanson, an economist at George Mason University, in Virginia, who has researched and developed markets. "Strategic decisions, such as mergers, product introductions, regional expansions and changing CEOs, could be effectively delegated to people far down the corporate hierarchy...
...daughter is "19 and there's no stopping her." True. Switching into can-do mode, my wife and I sent Gabby a U.S. map with the route home marked in yellow and a list of rules: If you break down, call AAA on your cell phone and do not unlock your door for anyone but a policeman or the tow truck. Park as close as you can to the motel entrance and under the brightest lights. Don't speed. Don't drive when you're exhausted. Call us every 100 miles or every two hours, whichever comes first...
...Harvard University Police Department (HUPD) has increased its efforts significantly, it is imperative that the University take an active role in helping to avoid future attacks. Instituting all-night shuttle service is not nearly enough. The Freshman Dean’s Office (FDO) and House Masters must finally unlock the doors to students who are threatened in the dead of night...
...solar system. Scientists believe comets like 67P may contain chemical and physical records from the time the system was formed some 4.6 billion years ago. And since very little is actually known about the primordial soup from which life emerged, they hope the Rosetta mission will help them unlock the secrets of how it all began on Earth - or perhaps even elsewhere in the universe. Hence the name, inspired by the Rosetta Stone, the key to deciphering Egyptian hieroglyphics. Rosetta is an ambitious and technically challenging mission. It will not be easy to keep a rendezvous in 2014 with...
