...performance, anything less than a sweep for Harvard will jeopardize its second-place finish. Colgate, also paired with Clarkson and St. Lawrence this weekend, sits just one point behind the Crimson and would likely leapfrog Harvard with any slipup, as the Raiders own the first tiebreak—head-to-head competition, in which they hold a 2-0 edge...
...addition to swinging the head-to-head tiebreaker in Harvard’s favor, that triumph gave credence to the coach’s claims that the Crimson were a young team on the upswing that would be a true force come playoff time...
...Brigade and the broader militant Fatah rank and file of which they form part. That's because it was the militants who cajoled the imprisoned popular Fatah militant Marwan Barghouti into withdrawing from the race and throwing his support behind Abbas. Barghouti may well have beaten Abbas in a head-to-head race, particularly since his candidacy would likely have received strong backing not only from the Fatah rank and file, but also from Hamas, which is formally staying out of the presidential race. The margin of Abbas's victory - he won 62 percent of the vote, compared...
There aren't many head-to-head studies of brand-name diet regimens, and now we know why. When scientists assigned 160 overweight or obese adults to one of four diets--Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers or Zone--the results were hardly dramatic. After a year of dieting, the average weight loss for women was about 5 lbs. and for men about 6.5 lbs.--and it didn't matter much which diet they were on. Perhaps the most significant finding was how many test subjects dropped out: half of the Atkins and Ornish groups, a third of Weight Watchers...
Pterostilbene may sound more like a spelling-bee stumper than a lifesaver, but if early studies prove correct, this compound, found in abundance in blueberries, could be the foundation of a natural remedy to reduce cholesterol. In head-to-head lab studies against a cholesterol-lowering drug, pterostilbene was just as active as the pharmaceutical in dampening the cholesterol-producing functions of rat liver cells. And because pterostilbene targets a specific lipid-triggering receptor, scientists anticipate that it will have fewer side effects...
