...band radar will send its data to the interceptor by way of a supersonic cell-phone system known as the in-flight interceptor communications system. Eventually, 14 IFICS stations will be built, arrayed in pairs in yet to be determined geographic regions. The Pentagon's environmental-impact statement says the pairings are needed to meet unspecified "reliability requirements." The Federation of American Scientists posits that placing the stations in pairs, fairly far apart, reduces the chances that in-flight communications will be lost because of storms that may develop over a single IFICS site...
...proud member of the anti-cell phone crowd, I almost felt guilty asking Motorola to let me test its newest model, the Digital V phone, coming out this week. Sure, it was a marvel of miniaturization and techno-chic, weighing in at just 3 oz. And I was intrigued by the notion of browsing the Web and sending e-mail on something smaller than a Twinkie. But I've always thought carrying a cell phone everywhere you went was silly--just another must-have gadget designed to keep boredom at bay. Factor in the $400 list price from Sprint...
...Then again, who cares? One Williams is sure to advance, and one is sure to lose. Try choosing instead between poor Jelena Dokic, whose own dad was escorted out of the All England Tennis Club for cell-phone smashing, intemperate flag-waving and profane anti-Clinton diatribes, or the real buzz underdog, publicity-deprived Lindsay Davenport, who actually prefers it that...
...they showed how lymphomas that look the same under the pathologist's microscope aren't necessarily identical. Staudt and his colleagues used DNA chips to see which genetic switches were being thrown in each of 40 different biopsy samples from lymphoma patients. By looking at specific genes involved in cell proliferation and immune-cell response, says Staudt, they determined that "two different kinds of tumors are hiding within the single diagnosis of diffuse large-cell lymphoma." That, he believes, may be why only 40% of patients respond to currently available treatments: the rest are getting the wrong kind of therapy...
Although proteins are the direct result of the instructions coded in our DNA, they are far more variegated and complex than DNA. They have to be. Every chemical reaction essential to life depends in one way or another on their services. Proteins are the beams and rafters of the cell and the glue that binds the body together; they're the hormones that course through our veins and the guided missiles that target infections; they're the enzymes that build up and break down our energy reserves and the circuits that power movement and thought...
