...study in the Sept. 10 edition of Science makes the case for widespread and speedy immunization, suggesting that doing so could stifle the pandemic. A team of researchers led by Ira Longini, a biostatistician at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, used data from earlier H1N1 outbreaks this year in the U.S. and Mexico to model how the pandemic is likely to unfold this fall. The team found that by first vaccinating children, then adults, until 70% of the U.S. population is covered, officials would be able to all but stop the pandemic...
...contender for its catchiest song, layers guitars and bass over a wall of fuzz and relentless drumming by Jeff Mangum (OTC’s original drummer, later of Neutral Milk Hotel fame). Hart’s vocals, sedate throughout most of his tenure with Circulatory System, suddenly take center stage. “Do you think we can lift this shadow?” he asks, following this question with urgent repetition—“Do you think?

...budget cuts, Harvard’s Language Resource Center will no longer offer students free memberships to Rosetta Stone, a self-study language computer program. Year-long subscriptions to the program, which had been available free of charge exclusively to students for the past two years, will now be available to both students and staff for $110, 20 percent of the $539 market price.

...problem with performance art is that it rarely leaves a physically lasting imprint. A phenomenon that graces street corners, park centers, and stages, this art form is inherently transient—miss out on one show, and you’ll never see anything exactly like it again. Meme Gallery, a new institution in Central Square, has devoted itself to extending the fleeting life of ephemeral works, and to providing them, often for the first time, with a legitimate home.Meme is housed in a one-story building once home to a travel agency. The gallery is an anomaly...
...McCurry, sandwiched between a beauty salon and a car-parts shop at the edge of the city center in Jalan Ipoh, is fairly ordinary-looking, considering its worldwide fame. The McCurry yellow logo may have a whiff of the Golden Arches, but it doesn't bear any other real resemblance to the U.S. chain. The Suppiahs had invested their life savings of $85,000 in the venture in 2001, hoping to strike it big as a franchise. "At that time, there was no Indian food franchise in the country. We hoped to be the first," says Kanageswari Suppiah. "We were...
