...story is really quite simple: A poor but honorable lad named Charles Ryder (played in the new movie by Matthew Goode) goes up to Oxford where he meets Sebastian Marchmain (Ben Whishaw) when the latter leans in his window and throws up on his floor. Soon enough they're dining on plover's eggs and mooning over one another. Sebastian introduces Charles to his family - in this film living in a statelier home than any Masterpiece Theater ever dreamed of - which includes his sister, Julia (Hayley Atwell), and his sternly religious mother (Emma Thompson, splendidly playing as far from...
...Dame, where her father and siblings have gone, but she courts suspension with nasty pranks: promiscuously e-mailing a topless photo of another girl and making catty calls to her; wreathing a rival's car in toilet paper, then spray-painting a penis and the word fag on his window.

...happen for various reasons: not all tests read the same SNPs to calculate the same risk, and not all risks are calculated using the same metric (some results compute the risk of cancer over a lifetime, for example, while others may assess the risk within a 10-year window). "We want to come together as scientists and say, Here's how we should present the information to the consumer," says Avey, who hopes the proposed voluntary industry guidelines will promote consistency among results offered by all companies that read SNPs.

''Fast-burn booster'' technology now in development may cut that time to as little as 50 seconds--a ''short fighting window.'' Missiles that escape the boost phase and enter midcourse flight present an overwhelming problem. By that time they have released their re-entry vehicles (warheads aimed at U.S. targets), as well as thousands of decoys and reflective metal scraps known as chaff, forming a threat cloud...
