...blossom from another galaxy. But it is a revelation from a skirmish in deepest inner space, one with huge potential promise in the war against AIDS. The twisting green "stems" are a rare antibody called b12; the red "florets" are a surface protein of the HIV virus; and the yellow area where they meet is the virus' point of vulnerability, where the b12 antibody latches on to start neutralizing the deadly entity that causes AIDS. The 3-D X-ray crystallographic image, released as part of a paper that appears in the journal Nature, is more than a pretty picture...
Look at the black and yellow symbol on the right. Is it a fan? A propeller? No. It's a trefoil, the international sign used to warn people away from potentially deadly sources of radiation. If you didn't recognize the degree of danger that is supposed to be conveyed by the three-bladed symbol, which represents radiation emitting from an atom, you're not alone. Over the last two decades, at least 20 people have died and more than 400 have been injured after accidentally exposing themselves to radioactive sources, such as radiography units dumped in scrap heaps.

A fresh, bright color pallet will spice up the most conventional of outfits. Think yellow, cerulean (not blue!), magenta, and red. 3. You can’t have too many minidresses and skirts for the fall. We’d also recommend stockings, unless global warming makes fall the new summer.But what ultimately matters is what Tim Gunn told us after the Bartlett show.As he says...
...itself over. Paper cards, stale candy, and the cheapest flower that money can buy: it’s inherently kind of insulting to receive these things in earnest from someone you’re romantically involved with. But getting a Tonka truck Valentine from your best friend or a yellow carnation with “Please fix me up with your brother at Loyola” is hilarious and—dare I say it?—heartwarming...
