...says Yancy. "That indicates a problem not only of understanding the biology of blood pressure, and why it occurs more frequently in young African Americans, but also why we aren't intervening more aggressively and effectively to treat it. Does it represent some form of bias? Of stereotyping? Or lack of access to care...
...there is anything that has so far prevented modafinil from becoming as widely abused - and as highly addictive - as some drugs, it's that it appears to lack the one-two punch of many other stimulants. Amphetamines, for example, don't just block the cleanup function of the dopamine transporters but actually boost overall dopamine output at the same time. That's a little like discontinuing your trash pickup at the same time you double the amount you're throwing away. Modafinil stops at step one - canceling the garbage trucks...
Welcome to the SEC Circus I was incensed after reading your article on the lack of accountability and oversight at the Securities and Exchange Commission [March 9]. Thousands of hardworking people lost their jobs and homes as a result of the incredible nonfeasance, misfeasance and probably malfeasance of Christopher Cox and friends.

...Prior to his alleged crimes, Fritzl had been arrested three times in connection with sex offenses - he was never charged in the cases of attempted rape and public exposure, but he served a sentence for a rape conviction in the late 1960s.

...also warrants a great deal of praise. The third teacher of the school is Mrs. Lintott (Alison H. Rich ’09). As the sole female in the cast, Rich certainly holds her own, hitting a homer with an impassioned monologue on women’s lack of recognition in the classroom.Further merits go to David J. Smolinsky ’11, who plays Scripps, the aspiring-writer who narrates the play in the form of a memoir. Yet more of Scripps’ narration would have helped ground the audience’s understanding of the basic plot...
