The trio's early work took place in 1984 when Hall and Rosbash worked together at Brandeis and  Young  at Rockefeller University to isolate the "period" gene  which controls the circadian rhythm of fruit flies. Hall and Rosbash then showed that the level of the protein encoded by this gene changes in a 24-hour cycle  going up during the day and down at night. They theorized that this protein blocked the activity of the period gene.

In a speech in May to graduates at his alma mater   Princeton University   he recounted a childhood memory : when   driving with his grandmother   a heavy smoker   he calculated by how many years her addiction would reduce her life expectancy . Announcing the result from the back seat   he expected praise for his deft math . But his grandmother just burst into tears . Ad Policy The Amazon founder ’ s geeky obsession with numbers evidently formed early   and despite the glimmer of discomfort revealed by his Princeton anecdote   his fervently quantitative take on the world clearly still predominates . In a letter accompanying the 2009 Amazon annual report   for instance   he sets out a mind - boggling 452 goals for the company in the coming year . The word " revenue " is mentioned only eight times   yet revenue growth is central to the Amazon story . Expanding both internationally and across other products — nonbook sales represent 75 percent of total Amazon turnover — Amazon ’ s global business has increased fifteenfold over the past decade   28 percent last year alone . Sales in 2009 topped $ 24 . 5 billion . To put that in perspective   in 2008 total sales by all US bookstores were less than $ 17 billion . Amazon is today   by some margin   the largest bookseller in the world . Related Article Commentary : Colin Robinson on Amazon ’ s Bad Business The Nation on Grit TV Of all the goals in the report   Bezos proudly points out   no fewer than 360 deal directly with customer needs . The customer has always been king in the Bezos ethos   and the formula for keeping the king happy is straightforward . " Amazon gives the customers what they want : low prices   vast selection and extreme convenience  " he told a shareholders ’ meeting . On these terms   Amazon ’ s success is stellar . It has more than 2 million titles on sale ; bestselling books are routinely discounted by 50 percent or more ; and it ranked first in BusinessWeek ‘ s " customer service champs " awards last year . But dig beneath the surface of the numbers and a more complex picture emerges   one suggesting that   stats notwithstanding   readers and writers may ultimately not be best served by Amazon ’ s race to become the biggest   cheapest and most convenient bookseller around . Amazon has not grown to where it is today by being touchy - feely . Sure   it adopted the informal trappings that characterized many of the new technology start - ups of the 1990s . But if  Bezos ’ s  first desk at  the company  was an old door on trestles   the business conducted from behind it has been as ruthless as anything  he  encountered in  his  previous gig as a Wall Street broker . Soon after Amazon ’ s launch in 1995    Bezos  told  his  employees that  he  wanted a place that was both " intense and friendly " but that " if you ever had to give up ‘ friendly ’ in order to have ‘ intense  ’ we would do that ."

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Mugabe ? A Zimbabwe ruling party official says prosecuting  Robert Mugabe  was never part of the plan in  his  removal.
Ruling party chief whip Lovemore Matuke tells The Associated Press that party officials assured  Mugabe   he  would not be prosecuted.
Matuke says that  Mugabe  “is safe   his  family is safe and  his  status as a hero of  his  country is assured. All we were saying is resign or face impeachment.”
 Mugabe  and  his  wife  Grace  remain in the capital  Harare.
Incoming leader Emmerson Mnangagwa  whose firing by  Mugabe  earlier this month led the military to step in  will be sworn in Friday.
Emmerson Mnangagwa will be sworn in Friday morning at a 60 000-seat stadium in the capital. The longtime Robert Mugabe ally who was fired early this month made his first public comments in his new role Wednesday in front of ruling party headquarters.
Emmerson Mnangagwa in a new statement calls himself the “president designate.” He will be inaugurated Friday morning  ending a whirlwind of events that began early this month with his firing by  Robert Mugabe .
While the opposition backed the peaceful removal of  Mugabe   there are concerns about what might change under  his  longtime deputy and the ruling party.
It is not clear whether  Mugabe  will attend the ceremony at a 60 000-seat stadium in the capital  Harare.
But while  Robert Mugabe  remains in the capital  Harare  it is not clear whether  he  will attend the ceremony at a 60 000-seat stadium.
 The 93-year-old Mugabe  resigned on Tuesday shortly after Parliament began impeachment proceedings.  His  firing of longtime ally Mnangagwa as vice president earlier this month led the military to step in and set off a public outpouring of calls for  Mugabe  to go after 37 years in power.
In a statement  Stewart calls this “an absolutely critical moment in Zimbabwe’s history” after the resignation of  Robert Mugabe .  He  stepped down Tuesday after 37 years under military and political pressure and a public outpouring of frustration.
Emmerson Mnangagwa  a longtime  Mugabe  ally fired this month  will be sworn in Friday.
A Zimbabwe legal think tank says the country currently has an acting president who is neither  Robert Mugabe  nor the incoming Emmerson Mnangagwa  even if his whereabouts are unknown.
Mphoko was out of the country when Zimbabwe’s military moved in last week to put  Mugabe  under house arrest. It is not clear where  he  is now.
Veritas says the job fell to Mphoko because  Mugabe  fired Mnangagwa as the other vice president earlier this month  and then resigned on Tuesday.
