...Rugby's decline can be traced to the advent of professionalism in the mid-1990s. The rugby pitch has always been crowded, with 30 players and almost no space between the teams. That there was once a stronger link between enterprising attack and tries was largely due to the fact that the amateur players of yesteryear would tire to an extent that today's pros - bigger, faster, fitter - don't. Imagine rugby league adding two extra players to each side and changing the 10-m rule to a 0-m rule. The resultant stalemate would be a guide to what...
...would be a leap to apply the findings of studies in mice to cats or dogs - or to humans, for that matter - which are much more complex animals. Few official scientific studies have been conducted on the effects of microchip implants on house pets, but none have found a link between the chips and cancer, says McGill. If there were a problem, he says, we would have already seen lots of cancer among the approximately 10 million pets that have been chipped over the past 15 years. Says Silverman, "There are no reported incidents to the FDA of any cancer...
...alternative is what investigators call the in-family studies, a much more pointillist process, requiring an exhaustive look at a single family, comparing every child with every other child and then repeating the process again and again with hundreds of other families. Eventually, you may find threads that link them all. "I would throw out all the between-family studies," says Cleveland. "The proof is in the in-family design...

Not to be outdone, Ticketmaster significantly increased its stake in Front Line Management, an agency that represents such acts as Christina Aguilera, Jimmy Buffett and Aerosmith, when rumors swirled that Live Nation wouldn't renew its contract. Warner, for its part, has been looking...
...longtime Republican, but I agree that the candidates and talking heads who are tripping over one another to crusade for Petraeus' honor need to take a step back and realize how silly they look. Rudy Giuliani's attempt to link Senator Hillary Clinton to the ad was a few paces beyond ridiculous. On the other hand, Kinsley weakened his credibility somewhat by lambasting by name several conservatives who have indulged in excessive "umbrage" but giving no examples of how politicians on the other side of the aisle have done the same. Kinsley made an excellent point, but he wants...
