Mary Dejevsky: We've lost sight of our most fundamental rights
Published December 4, 2008, 5:14 pm, Independent
Imagine you were playing one of those word-association games and the word given was Parliament – what would be the first idea to come to mind?

The Day Today opens with some wonderfully glossy computer graphics and one of those pompous current-affairs soundtracks – all sforzando brass chords and urgent percussion. It's the real thing, at least until the final seconds, when it suddenly dawns on you that the computer effects have got a little frantic, that the music's final bars are perhaps a little overwrought in their search for a ...
A new approach improves prioritization of disease-associated SNPs
Published December 4, 2008, 4:12 pm, EurekAlert!

Research published today in BioMed Central's open access journal Genome Biology shows how a list of SNPs in genes that are repeatedly implicated across many publicly-available gene expression microarray experiments (so-called, 'fitSNPs'), based on differential expression rates, ...

Published December 4, 2008, 3:56 pm, The Augusta Chronicle
A healthy compost pile often has a passing, healthy "fever" that may be as high as 150 degrees Fahrenheit. This temperature, which a compost pile might maintain for a few days, is enough to cook to death virtually all pathogens, insects and weed seeds.
