...into the weekend. Harvard has not swept a doubleheader against the same team all year, and has won two games in a day just once. Those victories—over Florida International and Rhode Island—came on Mar. 10, the first day of the Blue and Gold Felsburg Memorial Tournament. In a sport where essentially every series is played as a doubleheader, consistency will be crucial as the team approaches Ivy play. Boston College and Boston University are two of the remaining five non-conference opponents on the Crimson’s schedule. Holy Cross, Massachusetts, and Rhode...
From the moment you set foot in the boomtowns of the Rio Grande Valley, you sense you are watching a gold rush, headlong and free spirited and corrupt and ingenious. Stand on a corner some morning in Laredo, Texas, and watch the first of 8,000 trucks a day hauling the global economy north and south, 18-wheelers full of bulldozer claws and baby cribs, all passing through a town that once didn't bother to pave the streets. Now it can't pour concrete fast enough. The banks are open 7 to 7, seven days a week; the pager...
Here's another twist that doesn't usually get emphasized: although the data supporting the health benefits of moderate alcohol consumption are strong, they are almost entirely from epidemiological studies, not the large, randomized, placebo-controlled trials that are the gold standard of science.

No one has ever done a randomized trial of smoking, yet it clearly causes cancer. On the other hand, it was on the basis of good epidemiological evidence that...
...having a good time. And Mario, you know, he is capable of being at the center of any good time." He is also a guy who understands the concept of synergy: on the back of the NASCAR book you'll find a snapshot of Batali (sunglasses, regal smile, a gold marker in hand for autographs) standing beside NASCAR legend Richard Childress--and next to them is a bottle of wine from the vineyard (called La Mozza) that Batali and Bastianich own in Tuscany...
...bars across America thinking twice about their bad habits, because the implication is that smokers and drinkers should be getting screened earlier than ever for colorectal cancer. Doctors usually recommend that patients schedule their first exam on or near their 50th birthday. If you get a colonoscopy--considered the gold standard of screenings because it allows doctors to examine the whole length of the lower intestine and snip off any precancerous polyps they find--you may not need to be screened again for 10 years. If you use one of the less definitive tests-- a flexible sigmoidoscopy, barium enema...
