...similar shift in thinking is occurring among weight-loss researchers. For years, their best measure for how dangerous excess weight could be was body mass index (BMI), a formula that combined height and weight. A high BMI meant that you were carrying too much body mass for your height, putting you at risk of developing diabetes, hypertension, heart disease or stroke. The problem, as physicians quickly found out, was that body mass includes not just excess body fat but muscle as well. So fit people with dense muscle mass would consistently register as overweight and unhealthy. That led Dr. Jean...

Krakoff corrects the outer pockets (too high) and asks the designer to take off the coin-purse patch pocket ("I love a coin purse, but here I want it to go away"), and he questions the height of the bag.

After some halfhearted efforts in league games of late, the Harvard players have discussed their lack of energy on the court. Recently, the Crimson (5-9) has lacked the team cohesiveness to accompany...
...senior Laura Maludzinski grabbed a combined five points for the Crimson by crossing the line in 2:10.90 and 2:11.16, respectively, in the 800-meter run. Ng took sixth while Maludzinski followed her up in seventh.

Meanwhile, the Crimson men did not manage to earn a single point in their half of the meet—although the team only sent three competitors as representation...
