...down at the Harvard 30, I.K. stuffed Cornell tailback Deon Harris for a short gain and then repeated the process on second down. On fourth down Cornell tested I.K.'s versatility as a pass defender. Kacyvenski came up big and knocked away a pass just beyond the first-down marker, effectively sealing the game...
First a warning: An alternative treatment for prostate cancer called PC-SPES-a potent mix of eight herbs, including saw palmetto and licorice--may have unwanted side effects. A report out last week finds that while the herbal alternative does lower levels of PSA (a marker for the cancer), it may be linked to breast tenderness, loss of libido and possibly blood clots. Now some guidance for men undergoing traditional care. Those who have a slow-growing cancer can survive for years with conservative treatment, like periodic monitoring or hormonal therapy.

They tracked her down, asked her to join their nascent group, and Garbage was launched. "Madison is isolated, so we're kind of removed from the music business or the distractions you may have in New York, Los Angeles, London or Paris," says Vig. "It's a great city, but there's not much to do, so everyone kind of leaves us to our own devices...
