...does not return to full-time smoldering duty until page 451. The heart of the story is about how much Bella misses him - as does the reader. When the first copies of the book appeared, Meyer had to urge some fans to read it twice after she found that they were so anxious (or annoyed) by Edward's absence that they were skipping to the end. The interim consolation provided by Bella's hunky, smitten buddy Jacob Black is nowhere near enough to make up for Edward's absence. At least not on the page. (See portraits...
...member panel found that yearly mammograms unquestionably reduced the risk of dying from breast cancer 15% in women under 50. But when weighed against the risks of screening - false positives, additional biopsies and patient anxiety - the relative benefit was too small to recommend screening in younger women.

When Darryl W. Finkton ’10 and Sangu J. Delle ’10 set out to improve water sanitation in Agyemanti, they found that much of it didn’t pan out.

No matter how cutting edge and brilliant the use of solar panels sounded at first, they realized that once those panels broke, no one would be there to fix them.

When these banks teetered on the brink last year, Congress, fearing that their collapse would cause economic cataclysm, was forced to bail them...
...holds nearly $800 billion in U.S. Treasuries, making it Washington's biggest creditor. But Beijing is still not confident in acting on the world stage for any interest besides its own. A recent survey of Chinese élites by Pacific Forum CSIS, a Honolulu-based foreign policy research institute, found that more than 90% rejected a special leadership role for China and more than 70% said the greatest contribution the country could provide the world would be to provide for its own development.
