...senior center Brian Cusworth, a young member of the Crimson’s frontcourt made the 1,500 fans in attendance at Lavietes Pavilion forget, at least for one game, the loss of the departed seven-footer. In a seeming Ivy League mismatch, pitting the hottest team in the circuit in Cornell, winners of four straight and seven of its last eight, against a Harvard squad that had looked awful in every facet of the game in a 90-70 loss to the Lions, Crimson sophomore forward Evan Harris came up with a performance that turned the tables...

Don't I know it is just some garbage thrown up by a faulty circuit?" After 10 weeks of mindfulness-based therapy, 12 out of 18 patients improved significantly. Before-and-after brain scans showed that activity in the orbital frontal cortex, the core of the OCD circuit, had fallen dramatically and in exactly the way that drugs effective against OCD affect the brain.
