With junior Max Perlman continuing to recover from Tommy John surgery and last year’s most effective starter, sophomore Brent Suter, limited by his play in the outfield, the Crimson has turned to second-year hurlers Conner Hulse and Marcus Way to anchor the staff. After Saturday’s doubleheader against Sacred Heart, it became clear that the pair is up to the task...
...Max L. Dougherty ’10 could not help feeling slightly panicky when he first arrived in Botswana to work in Essex’s lab last spring...
...breaking the ACORN story, he called New York Times reporter Kate Zernike "despicable" for writing in the Times's Caucus blog that a young CPAC speaker employed racial stereotypes during a speech critical of President Barack Obama. Two days later, Breitbart got into a verbal altercation with freelance writer Max Blumenthal. "You are the lowest life-form I have ever seen," Breitbart said. Blumenthal's putative offense had been to accuse O'Keefe in an article for Salon.com of attending a gathering that featured "white nationalists." All these outbursts were captured on cell-phone cameras wielded by members of competing...
...team of archaeologists discovered a fossilized fragment of a pinkie finger in the secluded Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains of Siberia. The finger was buried with bracelets and other artifacts typical of early human sites dating back about 35,000 years. It was sent to the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, for routine genetic analysis. When the results came back, Johannes Krause, a researcher at the institute, called his colleague Svante Pääbo on his cell phone. "You'd better sit down," he said. "The finger is not human." (See TIME's photo...
...offer anatomical reference. But the researchers stop short of declaring the human-like creature a brand-new species. Instead of giving it a Latin name, they refer to the creature publicly as "the Denisova hominin" and in internal e-mails and discussions simply as "X." But privately, scientists at Max Planck - a world leader in the painstaking process of separating genomes from other DNA (of viruses and bacteria, for instance) that typically contaminate fossils - believe that the sequencing of the Denisova hominin's nuclear genome, which will offer a complete genetic picture, will confirm a new species. Krause says...
