I don't have a Science subscription. Nature gives open access to human genome papers but unfortunately Science does not.

Simple query of a well-known statesman. Google gets it right with its very first response. Bing doesn't seem to know what I want. Alpha doesn't have a clue.

Google 1 - Bing 0

Bing and Alpha have a lot of catching up to do. And Google doesn't blink even when I get the spelling wrong as in "Winston Chrchill's Father"

Wrote it.

Shakespeare was the conduit through which Marlowe published his works after he (Marlowe) had to "disappear" through a faked death. Marlowe was a wanted man because of his outspokenness and involvement in the plots and intrigues of the Elizabethan age. The facts about Shakespeare's life that can be determined with absolute certainty make it unlikely that he could be the writer of the great plays, sonnets, and poems that are ascribed to him.

I can't understand why he is doing this. Surely he is rich enough to afford to have noble principles and values and doesn't have to resort to such distasteful methods to enrich himself. And he is also a very smart person. Surely his time and money can be better spent actually implementing useful ideas. Or maybe this is his way of showing how absurd and unfair the current patent system is to goad people into taking action to reform it?

The first author's website has the PDF of the original paper: http://jauy.syr.edu/PUBS/Publications.html
It's the first paper on the list: Difference in plumage color used in species recognition between incipient species is linked to a single amino acid substitution in the melanocortin-1 receptor
And here's the abstract if you don't want to read/download the whole paper:

"Many studies demonstrate that differences in mating signals are used by incipient species in recognizing potential mates or sexual competitors (i.e., species recognition). Little is known, however, about the genetic changes responsible for these differences in mating signals. Populations of the Monarcha castaneiventris flycatcher vary in plumage color across the Solomon Islands, with a subspecies on Makira Island having chestnut bellies and blue-black upper parts (Monarcha castaneiventris megarhynchus) and a subspecies on neighboring satellite islands being entirely blue-black (melanic; Monarcha castaneiventris ugiensis). Here we show that a single nonsynonymous point mutation in the melanocortin-1 receptor (MC1R) gene is present in all melanic birds from one island (Santa Ana) but absent in all chestnut-bellied birds from Makira Island, implicating this mutation in causing melanism. Birds from a second satellite island (Ugi) do not show the same perfect association between this MC1R variant and plumage color, suggesting an alternative mechanism for melanism on this island. Finally, taxidermic mount presentation experiments in Makira (chestnut) and Santa Ana (melanic) suggest that the plumage difference mediates species recognition. Assuming that the signals used in species recognition are also used in mutual mate choice, our results indicate that a single amino acid substitution contributes to speciation."

OMG! There goes Roe vs Wade! But seriously, what I meant was right-to-life groups that exist to specifically oppose abortion. Not all Catholics are antiabortion.
I have to admit though that it is a little alarming that the SCOTUS lacks religious diversity.

.. reviewing Roe vs Wade? I don't think that would be allowed to happen.

Can it boot persistently from the SD of my Eee PC 900 and will the wifi just work out of the box? Have never been able to get any of the earlier releases to do these two things.

But better late than never. The Europeans and East Asians are way ahead in high speed rail and it's just such a shame that there hasn't been a single serious attempt at this in the USA. Even as we speak the 819 km Beijing-Shanghai (top speed 220 mph/360 km/h) is being constructed. Wouldn't it be great to have something like that in the USA? It will cost many, many billions but it will be something useful that the nation can be proud of. Unlike wasteful overseas adventures that have caused only pain and shame.
My one concern is that instead of borrowing from the considerable experience of the Europeans and Japanese, time and money will be wasted to reinvent the wheel. High speed rail is a mature technology and it will be best to do what the Chinese have done: bring in and adapt what the Europeans or Japanese already have.

Kind of ironic, isn't it? Linux has long been touted as a Window killer but has instead been a killer of Unix vendors.

And who might that viable third person or party be? Ralph Nader? Ross Perot? And how is he or she going raise the hundreds of millions necessary to get elected without the backing of the RNC and DNC? You are in wishful thinking territory over here. Obama (even if don't like him) was the lesser of two evils in the last election.
