...yard medley relay in a time of 1:33.00, just half of a second off the pace set by the winning Seton Hall squad. “Everyone swam really well,” Melillo said. “We’re just one step closer to finishing off the year undefeated. It was nice to see an especially good showing out of our two seniors this weekend, Eddie Jou and Brendan Mitchell, who finished off their careers on high notes.” In the 400 IM, Schindewolf’s second-place effort in 4:02.92, Parent?...
...That leaves Portman, who has looked stranded in some movies (her turn in The Phantom Menace was especially unfortunate), totally in control in others (do we thank Portman or Mike Nichols for her work in Closer?). It's odd that she plays the wanton Boleyn sister, and Johansson the more demure one, since there's always been a reticence to Portman, the need not to be mistaken for a naughty girl - as if she doesn't realize that the best parts for women are bad girls. She holds back here too, in a part that demands that the stays...
Does knowing you are a role model affect what parts you choose to play? -Nina Chung, Hermosa Beach, Calif.I don't consider myself a role model-I make mistakes all the time.

I also have this sort of good-girl image-it's such a virgin-whore thing with female roles...
Researchers from the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HSCI) and Mass. General Hospital (MGH) are one step closer to reprogramming adult stem cells and making them capable of creating tissues for all parts of the body without the use of viruses or cancer-causing genes. Harvard Medical School professor Konrad A. Hochedlinger recently discovered how long adult mouse stem cells need to be exposed to reprogramming factors before they convert to a pluripotent, embryonic-like state, at which point they can be potentially used for medical treatments. According to Hochedlinger, his lab set out to unveil the mysteries of the reprogramming...
...democracies? As with anything in Iraq, there was a lot more to this veto than a quibble about constitutional law. The dissenting vote on the Presidential Council was cast by Vice President Adel Abdul-Medhi whose Supreme Iraqi Islamic Council (SIIC) is the Shi'a power bloc with relatively closer ties to the U.S. than the rival party run by Shi'ite strongman Moqtada al-Sadr, who leads the contentious, trigger-happy Mahdi Army. Abdul-Medhi said that the Provincial Powers law contravened the constitutional right of voters of each province to elect their own governor (a sort of states...
