Harvard, while returning senior All-American cornerback Andrew Berry, must replace departed All-Ivy corner Steve Williams ’07, a role that will be filled by junior Derrick Barker, the Crimson’s nickel back last season. Two new starters will take over at the safety positions, where senior Ryan Barnes and sophomore Collin Zych will attempt to fill the shoes of two All-Ivy graduates...

Meanwhile, the smaller stomach more readily triggers hormones that signal satiety to the brain, sending the message that the body has taken in its fill of calories. But the longer this system has been overwhelmed with too much sugar and too many calories as occurs in diabetes, experts suspect, the more difficult it is to normalize the body's metabolic thresholds and molecular messages...
