...nation-worst 2.6 runs per game, with several of its top hitters struggling mightily at the plate, including captain Matt Vance, who, since his two-homer outing last Wednesday against Holy Cross, is 2-for-24 with 10 strikeouts.

...comparison with funding for the illnesses that confront the developed world, research into disease endemic in the developing world is starved for resources. The World Health Organization estimates that 90 percent of the world’s health-related research addresses only 10 percent of global disease burden, leaving many diseases neglected by the modern research enterprise.

In the United States, 47 million people currently lack health insurance, and their entrance into the world of the insured will place a huge burden on already overwhelmed primary care physicians. But even ignoring the entrance of uninsured patients into the health care system, the American Academy of Family Physicians predicts that the country will need 40,000 more family physicians by 2020 due to the aging population, a 40 percent increase over today?...
