TERC is likely only one of several genes that influence telomere length, says Tim Spector of Kings College London, who co-led the study. "Our next step will be to use whole genome sequencing to expand our search from 500,000 to 50 million [genetic] markers. TERC is almost certainly only the first piece of the genetic puzzle," he says...
...these materialistic times, I have been deeply moved and thrilled to see the whole world coming together to bring help and relief to populations affected by disaster. Terrible though they are, events such as the earthquake in Haiti manage to reach out to the hearts of people and nations everywhere, and bring out the best in them.

So decentralized is the whole system that until recently, Greece's government didn't even know how many people it had on its payroll. (See 10 things to do in Athens...

That's one reason the whole category of "substance-related disorders" has chipped away at the authority of the DSM. The new DSM would rationalize the system. There are no plans to change the diagnostic criteria of "caffeine intoxication" (essentially, drinking so much coffee or Red Bull that you go nuts, at least temporarily...
