...seventh year of existence, it seems that the CDT can look ahead to an even brighter future and perhaps continue to assert itself on the national stage. With an abundance of new talent, the hiring of a professional choreographer, and increased visibility on campus, the CDT is looking to take its spirit and savvy to new heights...
...enough, the five-year survival rate is 95%. Because there is no good test for early ovarian cancer, however, only a quarter of all cases are discovered at this stage. The rest are not caught until later, when the survival rate drops below 30%. That picture is suddenly looking brighter.

The lame-duck autocrat and the war criminal have no choice but to work together. They must somehow muster the strength to come to the negotiating table and they must do it now. In the Middle East, tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone...
