Lawrence Alan "Larry" Kudlow (born August 20, 1947) is an American conservative commentator, economic analyst, television personality, and newspaper columnist.
He was the 12th Director of the National Economic Council from April 2, 2018 to January 20, 2021.
He was the host of CNBC's The Kudlow Report.
As a syndicated columnist, his articles appear in numerous U.S. newspapers and web sites, including his own blog, Kudlow's Money Politic$.
In 1970, while he was still a Democrat, Kudlow joined Americans for Democratic Action chair Joseph Duffey's "New Politics" senatorial campaign in Connecticut which also attracted an "A-list crowd of young Democrats", including Yale University law student Bill Clinton, John Podesta, and Michael Medved, another future conservative.
Duffey was a leading anti-war politician during the Vietnam war era.
Duffey's campaign manager called Kudlow a "brilliant organizer".
In 1976, he worked on the U.S. Senate campaign of Daniel Patrick Moynihan, along with Tim Russert, against Conservative Party incumbent James L. Buckley, brother of William F. Buckley, Jr.
Kudlow began his career as a staff economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, taking a position "as a junior economist in a job where a master's degree wasn't required".
He worked in the division of the Fed that handled open market operations.
During the first term of the Reagan administration (1981–1985), Kudlow was associate director for economics and planning in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), a part of the Executive Office of the President.
In April 2005, New York Governor George Pataki included Kudlow in a six-member state tax commission.
Kudlow's name was floated by Republicans as a potential Senate candidate in either Connecticut or New York in 2016.
In October 2015, U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal, in an email to supporters, attacked Kudlow as "a champion of big corporations and big money" despite Kudlow's not announcing a run.
In early December 2015, Jack Fowler of National Review created a 527 organization that encouraged Kudlow to run.

p53 (or tp53) is a gene vital to many forms of life, including humans.
It codes for a protein which suppresses cancer.
It has been called  "the guardian of the genome".
The p53 gene is the most frequently mutated gene (>50%) in human cancer.
Its protein product binds to DNA and regulates gene expression to prevent mutations of the genome.
p53 protein (TP53) is at low levels in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs).
This allows the most important cell division to proceed rapidly.

The Nematocera are a large suborder of flies which include the mosquitoes and midges.
They usually have long thin bodies, with segmented antennae.
Usually their larvae are aquatic, but there are many exceptions to this.
Examples of the Nematocera include the mosquitoes (Culicidae), crane flies (Tipulidae) and black flies (Simuliidae).
Many of the other families are called gnats, and others are called midges.
Many species form mating swarms of males, and in some of these, competition for females is extreme.
Although many species (as larvae) have a strong association with water, even within a single family there may be a trend toward semiaquatic and terrestrial habitats.

Lauda Air Flight 004 was a passenger flight from Hong Kong to Vienna, Austria via Bangkok, Thailand.
On May 26, 1991 the Boeing 767-3Z9ER operating this flight experienced an uncommanded left engine thrust reverser deployment in mid air at 23:17 UTC (ICT) while flying over Burma-Thai border, and broke up at 5,500 feet, killing all 213 passengers and 10 crew members on board, making this the deadliest complete loss involving the Boeing 767 series, and Thailand's worst aviation accident.
The aircraft took off at 23:02 ICT, and everything was routine until 5 minutes and 45 seconds into the flight, where the pilots discussed a "REV ISLN VAL" warning for about 5 minutes, a warning indicating that the reverser may deploy in flight, and that the reverser may not work on landing.
At 23:17 ICT, while climbing through 24 thousand feet, and 15 minutes and one second into the flight, the left engine thrust reverser activated, causing an asymmetrical stall on the left wing side by compromising all of its lift.
Almost immediately, this sent the aircraft into a diving left turn with a value of 28 degrees per second, inverting the plane in less than 4 seconds, and causing the air frame to shudder.
The captain and first officer were startled, reacting a few seconds after deployment by giving the aircraft's yoke maximum right aileron deflection and maximum left rudder, putting stress on the aircraft's vertical stabilizer composites with little to no effect on the roll.
During the descent, the aircraft entered a vertical dive, continuing to roll to the left slowly until it was completely inverted, rolling over still to about 45 degrees, upside down.
Massive yaw and torsional overload forces ensued after the left engine was shut down within 10 seconds of reverser activation, and desperately trying to pull the aircraft out of its descent, the aircraft, already having passed it's maximum mach operating speed, began to break up in the air, the vertical and horizontal stabilizers disintegrating first.
The aircraft entered a diving speed of Mach 0.99, or very close to the speed of sound, when the heat from the air resistance caused the fuel in the tanks to heat up and explode, sending the aircraft into the ground engulfed in a fireball.
All 213 passengers and 10 crew members died.
