FRIEDMAN continued from page 4 to fuel the new "electronic herd." Friedman ended his discussion of the changing world by returning to the timeless issues of God and parenting, answering the two questions, "Is God in cyberspace?" and "What do I do with my kids?" To answer the question about God, Friedman quoted his rabbi who said unless we act as if God is around, he won't be. Friedman said parents "need to emphasize fundamentals," such as reading, writing, church and rule of law. "It's all about stuff you have to way," he said. upload the ejohnsonchronicle.utah.edu Though scientists already knew about the existence of the protein, the study uncovered the crucial role it played in the virus' escape from the host cell it will eventually destroy. Their discovery may influence research into treatments of diseases other than AIDS. "We think the pathway is likely to affect other viruses," Sundquist said. Myriad Genetics did the initial "fishing expedition,' according to Uta von Schwedler, a postdoctoral fellow and an author of the paper.

Some community schools in Utah also offer this program to prison and jail systems. Salt Lake Community College offers vocational training, and Snow College offers general education classes. USU is the only school which offers this program through satellite. This makes more classes and degrees available to inmates, Lafferty said. The inmates come from specific facilities including Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, the main prison in Draper and jails in Cedar City and Monticello. UWIRE or Call For Carry Dut!
