this is about as dumb as chrysler’s “let’s refuel america”. i am torn as to who of the 2 is more desperate.

“sous vide, which involves packing food in airtight plastic bags and cooking at low heat, achieves results that other cooking methods simply cannot”
i can’t wait for this to be widespread. cooking needs more precision and more repeatability.
a novel way to sell their gas guzzlers. Sign up for their “Let’s Refuel America!” credit card and they’ll lock in the price of gas at $0.79/liter for 3 years.
betting against the oil price is a great way for them to go extinct, the desired outcome.
So many people have so many things they can no longer afford. This is an excellent time to be a repo man.
I went to Google Health last night and completed my profile and then I looked for the link to make it public. It wasn’t there. So I twittered that I didn’t understand why I couldn’t make my personal health record public. People thought I was joking, so I twittered back that I was serious.
someone needs to write some papers on the economics of transparency.
Bringing Col2A1 back:
While other studies have examined extinct coding DNA function in vitro, this is the first example of the restoration of extinct non-coding DNA and examination of its function in vivo. Our method using transgenesis can be used to explore the function of regulatory and protein-coding sequences obtained from any extinct species in an in vivo model system, providing important insights into gene evolution and diversity.
Same deal for IRGM:
The exact reason that IRGM was reborn in species such as humans and apes, but not monkeys, is not yet completely understood. We do know, however, that the fact that most humans have a working copy of IRGM is quite fortuitous. As mentioned above, the IRG genes are essential to controlling bacteria, specifically by maintaining the delicate balance of bacterial growth and immune control in our intestines. Recent research has shown that those without a working copy of IRGM have a greater risk of developing Crohn’s Disease, in which an individual’s immune system begins attacking the friendly bacteria living in our guts.
reasonable review
“changes in the company’s financial model“. in other words, declining revenues and profits. excellent.
The map looks beautiful, the idea is cool, and, within 2 or 3 trips, the GPS device does indeed save money; however, I can’t help but wonder what this might foretell for local economies, all over the world, based on guided tourism. For instance, a small group of American tourists comes through your village, eating PowerBars and looking at handheld GPS devices. They don’t go to any restaurants; they don’t ask any questions of anyone; perhaps they don’t even rent a hotel room. do handheld technologies mean that we’ll soon be digitally replacing the native populations of the Third World, never needing them again for guidance, travel advice, or even insights into medicinal plant life?
