...know what I was doing out there. Not something I really do.”“Laura is great,” Erickson said. “She’s courageous. She’ll take people one-on-one, and she’s super fast. She’s hungry to score, so she’s the likely option to push forward.”With Odorczyk joining freshman Erin Wylie and sophomore Megan Kerr at forward, Harvard sent the ball repeatedly into the Big Green end, but was rebuffed by a Dartmouth defense...
...example, the results from a large trial of Herceptin, a medicine approved for late-stage patients, showed that it dramatically reduced recurrence in early-stage patients as well--by about 50%. Because Herceptin works by blocking a protein called HER2 that signals cells to divide and grow too fast, it is valuable only for the 20% to 30% of patients whose tumors are HER2-positive.

"Global criminal activities are transforming the international system, upending the rules, creating new players, and reconfiguring power in international politics and economics," writes Na?m. These new players are counterfeiters, shady financiers, snakeheads, terrorists, corrupt officials and other fast-adapters now flourishing beyond the reach of authorities. They have even redefined geography: as governments' control over the flow of people, goods and information weakens, opportunists have turned places like Cambodia, Liberia and parts of Russia into "geopolitical black holes" where illicit networks can operate unchecked...
