...Davis of Yale University's Millstein Center for Corporate Governance and Performance. "Why not use them?" He points to a law passed in 2002 in the U.K. that gives shareholders an up or down vote on executive pay packages. Even though the vote is only advisory, and doesn't bind a board of directors to act, the mere threat of getting a vote of no confidence has better aligned executive pay with the performance of companies...
...plans to make dream-team proposals, which Sharp views as a chance to loose the forces of science on the particularly diabolical forms of cancer. One of MIT's strategies is to build nanomolecules that, when injected into the body, can hunt for cancer cells, bind to them and deliver therapies directly to the bad cells; or to build nanomolecules that could locate abnormal genes and silence them. "It's MIT," says Sharp. "We shake and bake...
...colleagues, Chris Basler at Mount Sinai, who's a professor of microbiology, and James Crowe at Vanderbilt, who's in pediatrics, microbiology and immunology. Dr Crowe and his colleagues at Vanderbilt isolated five different antibodies to the 1918 flu. Then Dr. Basler and colleagues looked at how those antibodies bind to the virus. It was quite strong and specific. We tried to compare it to other viruses, studying, for example, whether the antibody would bind to the flu of 1999 or to earlier ones, like the 1943 flu. Most antibodies bound to 1918, and only 1918. One of them bound...
...Tumpey at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention infected mice with the various strains that made up the 1918 flu. Then we treated the mice either with our five antibodies or with controls. (There were two controls. One was human gamma globulin, which are just pooled antibodies that bind to a lot of different things. The other was the antibody to one of the modern bird flus.) And all of the control-treated mice, whether they got the gamma globulin or the bird-flu antibody, they all died. All of those mice died. Meanwhile all the mice that were...
...time we were in a bind. Financially, we just couldn't see ourselves making the monthly payment and paying all our bills. They really saved the day for us," Michael Webb says. One of his daughters even received an eviction notice from her apartment on the University of Central Florida campus because her parents couldn't help. Still, one travail has followed another as the economy declines. Just last week, Michael Webb lost his job as an executive chef. He and his wife have a plan to start a catering business, and Webb thinks things will turn around...
