Researchers at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston announced at the San Antonio Breast Cancer Symposium today that high-dose chemotherapy (followed by a stem-cell transplant to rebuild the immune system) after surgery does not extend the life of breast-cancer patients. The new findings, which come after a thorough analysis of 15 trials involving 6,200 patients, should close the book on a controversial treatment that was popular during the 1980s and 1990s. At the time, doctors believed that more was better when it came to chemotherapy following cancer surgery: While it was painful...
...profoundly misguided. Not only should the complete reflection on a course include their impression of the final exam, but students also should not be expected to fill out their Q forms when they could be studying for their tests and writing papers.

...night. My grandparents have made do for years by adapting their cooking habits and keeping a bucket of water handy for washing and the toilet. To my Western sensibilities, however, the eccentricities of the overburdened distribution system were simply frustrating. But India’s water woes extend far deeper than mere inconvenience.

Over two million children, especially those in poverty-stricken areas where water is highly contaminated or inaccessible, die every year for want of clean water. Both the fickle faucets...
...1970s fads throughout the video. He rocks every hairstyle imaginable, from a mullet to an Afro with long sideburns. In an homage to Travolta circa “Saturday Night Fever,” he dons suits of various metallic hues and makes sure his enormous collars extend beyond his jacket’s lapels. Of course, Snoop doesn’t forget the large glasses. The video stays authentic throughout, and while the women are scantily-clad, Snoop makes sure their shreds of clothing are all vintage. Unequivocally the best part of the video is when Snoop Dogg takes...
...global climate summit in Bali, which is looking past Kyoto to the next generation of climate regulations. There is no better time for Harvard to show publicly its support for these measures. Besides demonstrating support symbolically, emissions standards will also have pragmatic effects here in Cambridge. For one, they extend Harvard’s recent commitment to building a green campus in Allston to the entire campus, ensuring an environmentally-friendly future for the school’s physical infrastructure. Furthermore, this plan will significantly reduce the 100,000 metric tons of carbon emissions that the Environmental Action Committee estimates...
