That is surprising, given that Americans are ardent betters on sport and, as with soccer and cricket, sportsmen there are often youths from lowly backgrounds.In 2009 punters bet almost $2.6 billion on sports in Nevada's casinos (apart from a handful of sport-related lotteries, it is the only state in which such wagers are legal).
Some of the greatest dancers have come from the lowliest backgrounds.
I had a very privileged education despite my lowly family background and am sincerely grateful for the friendship and teaching I experienced.
That Cardus, a young man of virtually no education, from the lowliest of backgrounds (his mother and aunts were prostitutes), was recruited on the strength of a review he had written for the rather downmarket Daily Citizen, which had come to Scott's attention, is in itself astonishing.
As with replication timing, if this factor is ignored, the background rate for lowly expressed genes will be underestimated.
And just how could Steve Forbes be sure that the people serving the tartare of spicy ahi tuna topped with Hawaiian ginger did not constitute a threat by anarchists or terrorists or anyone else? Diane Biederman, a spokeswoman for "21," said that all employees of the restaurant, from the executive chef to the lowliest dishwasher, go through rigorous background checks.
One explanation is that the signals of most probes of lowly expressed genes are saturated by background or random noise on the arrays, making it difficult to obtain a large group of probes with coordinated changes.
It is a place of trust too, shared by people from the "right" backgrounds, liberated from their habitual lowly concerns.
All of the microarray expression distributions were bimodal, with a lower mode that presumably corresponds to background microarray hybridization to probes matching lowly or nonexpressed genes.
