That was two whole years ago, before Brazil, a backwater of genetic research, metamorphosed into an international powerhouse. Last month researchers at So Paulo’s FAPESP research institute announced that they had cracked the DNA code of Xylella fastidiosa, a bacterial pest that destroys a third of Brazil’s orange crop each year. It is the first time scientists had ever mapped the structure of the genome of a plant pathogen–a “landmark achievement,” as the British journal Nature put it....

The 22-year-old - who has been linked with Premier League title hopefuls Manchester City in the recent past - has started the season in fine form as Lazio remain unbeaten in Serie A, thrashing AC Milan last week, and also winning their Europa League group-stage opener against Vitesse.

Dr. Sandra R. Scott of Brooklyn, N.Y., has never been sued for malpractice, but that doesn’t keep her from worrying. As an emergency-room doctor, she often hears her patients threaten lawsuits–even while she’s treating them. “They’ll come in, having bumped their heads on the kitchen cabinet, and meanwhile I’ll be dealing with two car crashes,” she says. “And if they don’t have the test they think they should have in a timely fashion, they’ll get very angry....
When a clay shoveler’s fracture occurs, a break which results in the detachment of the spinous process of one (or more) vertebrae in the upper spine takes place. Typically, it is the C6, C7, and/or T1 levels that are affected, but this injury can happen in other areas of the cervical or upper thoracic spine, as well. Clay shoveler’s fractures can occur at more than one spinal level, although this is rare....

For his bravery and courage in combat, Rodriguez was awarded two medals. He then took it upon himself to try and make it onto Clemson’s football team. “One morning I just woke up and I was like ‘It starts today,’” said Rodriguez....
The police had their man, at least one of them. The problem was, that they didn’t know it. Arrested on minor charges, McVeigh was about to be set free from the county jail on a $500 bond two days later when word arrived from the FBI that the young drifter was one of the two most wanted men in America. Last week, McVeigh, at first identified only to the public as “John Doe No....
With the midterm election just five weeks away and GOP House leaders forming a circular firing squad, Pelosi is close to the point where she can start measuring the drapes in the speaker’s office. Even before Foley surfaced as an embarrassment for the Republicans, they were on track to lose their majority. The fact that the leaders of a political party known for stoking homophobia to win votes stood aside and did nothing for years to rein in Foley is further evidence the party has lost its way....
The moderator began calling me Eleanor Rodham Clift. Hillary and I would laugh about that, and after the Republican Revolution in 1994, she seemed genuinely concerned that I would pay a price for this sisterly solidarity. She has shown me other kindnesses as well. The day after my husband died following a long battle with cancer, Hillary called me at home. Her first words were, “Oh, Eleanor, oh, oh, oh....

“Thereafter, events were referred to as “before” or “after” the Fire,” he said in an eyewitness account at the Museum of the City of San Francisco. “The earthquake, responsible for the fire, was a secondary matter. As a seven-year-old boy, free of parental control for three days, I enjoyed the excitement of the disastrous events around me without comprehending their consequences.” Now scientists are warning that those consequences could be even more severe next time....

Don’t worry, Hillary. Al Gore feels your pain. Over the past few weeks, you may have noticed that Clinton has been portrayed in the press less as a presidential candidate gearing up for a potentially decisive primary in Pennsylvania and more like, well, Pinocchio. The spurt of prevarication started with “Snipergate,” Clinton’s debunked account of exactly how dangerous her 1996 landing in war-torn Bosnia really was. Then came a flood of “gotcha” reports on everything from Clinton’s original support of NAFTA to her role in the Northern Ireland peace process; Clinton foe Dick Morris even revived a 2001 controversy over daughter Chelsea’s Sept....
Bill Clinton promised to have diversity, and last week he began delivering. Of his first 11 appointments, men were ahead in the gender game, 7-4, but women felt like the winners. For his economic team, Clinton picked former Congressional Budget Office -director Alice Rivlin as deputy budget director and Berkeley economist Laura D’Andrea Tyson as the first woman ever to run the Council of Economic Advisers. A pair of social activists, Donna Shalala and Carol Browner, will head Health and Human Services and the Environmental Protection Agency....

The Gregory Brothers shared an audio clip which played “Seasons of Love,” a song from the musical Rent, in a tweet noting: “Trump asks for 11,780 votes, but it’s to the tune of the Rent song....
