...side materialized—bad changes, somebody not being able to understand the defensive zone coverage,” coach Katey Stone said following the McGill games. The Crimson’s first opponent this weekend is Quinnipiac. Last year Harvard crushed the Bobcats 6-1. But one factor that plays to the Bobcats’ advantage is that this Friday’s game will be their sixth, and Harvard has only played twice as a team. “This is going to be [Quinnipiac’s] sixth game,” Vaillancourt said...
Commodity speculators are exploiting geopolitical tensions to put a "fear factor premium" on oil prices, says Qatar's Energy and Oil Minister Abdulla Bin Hamad al-Attiya in an interview with TIME. The blame for high prices - a record $93.53 a barrel on Monday - should not fall on petroleum producers, he says. "How do you blame us?" asked Attiya, who also serves as deputy prime minister of Qatar, a small country of nearly one million people whose per capita income of $66,000 is the world's fifth-highest.

"In the more than 70 years [of conflict in the Gulf], war is never the solution," he said. "The whole world and I pray to see that...
Perhaps the surest risk factor - in both women and men - is family history. By the time Place was diagnosed, for example, two of his female relatives had died of breast cancer and a third of ovarian cancer. Although there are certainly several genes that contribute to breast cancer, mutations in two of them - BRCA1 and BRCA2 - are known to increase the odds of both breast and ovarian cancers. So while most men might never even meet a man with breast cancer, those who have several relatives diagnosed with it should be on the lookout for signs of their own breast...
