...autism, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. A team led by Levitt found that a fairly common gene variation - one that's present in 47% of the population - is associated with an increased risk of autism. People with two copies of the gene have twice the average risk of autism; those with one copy face a slightly increased risk. The gene is intriguing because it codes for a protein that's active not only in the brain - the organ most affected by autism - but also in the immune system and the gastrointestinal tract, two systems that...
...neck with Republican Bob Corker and stands a fair chance of becoming the first black Southerners have popularly elected to the U.S. Senate. Indeed, Tennessee hasn't seen so much national political attention since President Bush beat Vice President Al Gore in his home state. Bush has come calling twice, helping Corker raise $2.1 million, as have U.S. Senators Lamar Alexander and Bill Frist, while former senators Fred Thompson and Howard Baker have thrown their support behind Corker even as former President Bill Clinton and Barack Obama have stumped for Ford...

And I'm enjoying this, although I do look on it as sort of this is the last time I'll go out and do -- what, I think...
...Kentucky voted for Bill Clinton twice, but has been trending Republicans since at least May of 1994, when Rep. Ron Lewis shocked the state's Democratic establishment to win a special election in central Kentucky that many say helped presage the GOP sweep that fall. And this Northern Kentucky district, stretching through 24 counties along the top of Kentucky, from the suburbs of Cincinnati all the way east to the coal fields on the West Virginia border, is its most conservative enclave, where President Bush won 63% of the vote in 2004. Davis won the seat easily two years...
