| Curt Cavin: IRL & Formula One Q&A
But as you know, the only path for oval-track Americans now is NASCAR, and that pains a lot of us.
Question: Any further news on Jon Herb? I heard he planned to race on at least four ovals for his Racing Professionals team. (Matt Fryer, Leeds, UK).
Answer: I havent spoken with Jon in a while, but IRL officials expect him to run a limited Indy-car schedule this season.
Question: Im curious as to how you think Juan Montoya is going to do this year. It seems no one wants to really talk about him, but for the first time since the first Brickyard 400, I'm interested in a NASCAR story. He won in CART against all the big names, trounced the Indy field in his only start, and won the Monaco GP which Mario Andretti could never do. I've picked him to win Daytona (if they don't shove him into the wall) and I think he'll win in his first year.
A new nuclear age
Its return on investment may not look favourable now, but when the price of electricity doubles, triples, or quadruples, that makes the solar rooftop look a lot better.AND...conserve energy now. Reply Alert moderator Loxley : 23 Jan 2008 7:59:34pm I note you say the new nuclear technology has a much lower risk for disaster Is that not in itself an admission that nuclear technology is unsafe? Reply Alert moderator LC : 24 Jan 2008 12:46:17am I note that you are using an electrical device containing components made of plastics, arsenic, cadmium, bromine, chromium, lead and mercury to make your posts. Given that thousands of people per year are electrocuted or poisoned by said chemicals are you not engaging in unsafe activities? Reply Alert moderator Loxley : 24 Jan 2008 6:59:23pm And your point is?Electrical devices kill people because the user usually mistreat them or fails to maintain them adequately People also have a choice in that knowing that there is very small chance it might kill them, whether they want to use such devices.
Police log: Home electronics, camera gear taken in break
METHUEN — Thieves broke into a Vincent Avenue home and ransacked it before leaving with assorted home electronics, camera gear and two bicycles, police said. Officers were sent to the home at 5:58 p.m. Wednesday and spoke to the owner who told them he had left for work about 7:45 a.m. and returned about 5:45 p.m. to discover the house had been broken into. Police could find no sign of forced entry but did find two unlocked windows which they said they believe could have been used by the thieves to gain entry. Taken in the break were an Apple Mac Mini Man computer, 20 to 30 DVDs, a Panasonic camcorder, a Fuji digital camera, an Olympus 35 mm camera, and two bicycles. Both bicycles were recovered on Emsley Terrace. The following were taken from area police logs for Wednesday: Methuen Arrest: Richard O'Connor, 34, 6 Anthony Drive, Londonderry, N.H., driving while under the influence of alcohol, 108 Howe St., 2:08 a.m.
Oncogenes and Cancer
In some tumors, for example, the Fos transcription protein dimerizes with the Jun transcription factor to form the AP1 transcription factor, and this complex increases the expression of several genes that control cell division.21,22 Chromosomal translocations often activate transcription-factor genes in lymphoid cancers23 and sometimes do so in solid tumors (e.g., prostate cancer24; see Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix). In certain sarcomas, chromosomal translocations that result in fused proteins occur consistently; in Ewing's sarcoma, for example, the EWS gene is fused with one of a number of partner genes, resulting in aberrant transcriptional activity of the fused proteins (see Table 2 in the Supplementary Appendix). The EWS protein is an RNA-binding molecule with a domain that, when fused to a heterologous DNA-binding domain, can greatly stimulate gene transcription.
Bush Admin
Gregg Gordon: Today Is Super Tuesday. Will Republicans Finally Bail on Bush on Wednesday? With the threat of primary challenges over, will Republicans start to come to their senses? Monday, February 4: neuroscott: The Bush Tragedy George W. Bush is a Churchill wannabe with the soul of Inspector Clouseau. That, in a nutshell, is the disheartening conclusion I draw from Jacob Weisberg's illuminating character study of our forty-third president, The Bush Tragedy Friday, February 1: Ray McGovern: Iniquities and Inequities of War (7 comments) Oil-- that was Bush's true reason, in spite of his hundreds of lies-- for invading and occupying Iraq. And this becomes painfully clear as heroic writer, Ray McGovern discusses the top rate health care he's receiving for his cancerous tumor, compared to the pathetic care our Iraq vets are receiving, let alone the close to 50 million Americans who receive no health insurance supported care at all.
