Despite an overall drop in housing sales in the state, sales remain strong in the Upper Valley area, according to a recent article in the Boston Globe. Overall sales for New Hampshire have dropped 10 percent in the past year, from 8,004 in the first five months of 2005 to 7,265 in the same amount of time in 2006 and the average length of time that a New Hampshire home stayed on the market was 139 days compared to 134 days last year. The lull in the real estate market has not affected some regions of the state, including the Upper Valley, the Claremont area, the Strafford County and the White Mountains, where sales have all increased. Darryl Salls, president of the Upper Valley Board of Realtors cited Dartmouth College, and the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center as two of the reasons that the area has managed to stay above the dip in housing sales.

Dartmouth Medical School geneticists reported on June 29 in the online edition of Science that DNA damage resets the cellular circadian clock, suggesting a fundamental connection between circadian timing, cell cycle progress, and -- potentially -- the origins of some cancers. The paper is co-authored by Jay Dunlap, professor and chair of genetics at DMS, Jennifer Loros, professor of biochemistry, graduate student Christopher Baker and former Dartmouth students Antnio Pregueiro and Qiuyun Liu. Their findings reveal that genetic mutations physically interact with clock proteins, increasing susceptibility to cancer. Their work highlights the protective dimension of the biological clock and may aid in the development of anti-cancer treatments.
