What's behind the rally? Short-term interest rates are lower, and there are modest hints that the economy has bottomed. Institutions are scrambling to get invested ahead of any recovery, ahead of the pack...
...PRICE OF FAITH? A small study of Orthodox Jewish teens suggests that more than half have significantly low bone density. Reason? The Orthodox encourage scholarly over physical activity--and favor modest clothing, which blocks sunlight, crucial for efficient calcium absorption. And because Orthodox Jews don't eat dairy products for six hours after eating meat, they have fewer opportunities to consume calcium. Recommendation: Orthodox kids should take supplements...
...That proved far too strong a claim, but monoclonal antibodies have finally begun to live up to more modest expectations. Rituximab was the first, but just a year later, the same approach led to trastuzumab, a drug that keeps growth factors from feeding certain kinds of breast-cancer cells. Such targeted treatments are effective only when the appropriate target exists. Trastuzumab latches onto a receptor known as HER2, which is abnormally abundant in only about 30% of breast-cancer tumors. A biopsy can tell doctors whether a patient is likely to respond to trastuzumab, but they'd hoped to find...
That proved far too strong a claim, but monoclonal antibodies have finally begun to live up to more modest expectations. Rituxan was the first, but just a year later, the same approach led to Herceptin, a drug that keeps growth factors from feeding certain kinds of breast-cancer cells. Such targeted treatments are effective only when the appropriate target exists. Herceptin, for example, latches onto a receptor known as HER2, which is abnormally abundant in only about 30% of breast-cancer tumors. A biopsy can tell doctors whether a patient is likely to respond to Herceptin, but they'd hoped...

One is their modest size: even with the nation's fourth largest airline in Northwest, the scope of the website is still very limited, and therefore, so is their potential secondary market. If you are in the prominent cities (for example, Minneapolis for Northwest or Phoenix with America West), FairAir might be great - if not, you might be out of luck...
