Standing in the Harvard-Yale tailgate, I was struck by the feeling that the event was less of a party and more of a “de-beer-iterized zone.” Hordes of police looked over the students standing ankle-deep in muck and surrounded by the Great Wall of Porta-Potties (undoubtedly erected to keep out the Mongolians, ie. undergraduates, with their public-urination ways...
During the first 100 hours of the new House, Pelosi has pledged, according to Newsweek, to “drain the swamp” of GOP muck by enacting all of the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations (why weren’t they enacted earlier?), raising the minimum wage, and promoting stem cell research...
...hours it spends debating, the Undergraduate Council doesn’t deal with crap. Or yet this could imply that the newly-installed green toilets have consequences of a darker color. (Sure, facilities maintenace says that it was only a clogged drain that caused the backup of green muck. We wonder if their investigation included “karma” as a possible factor.) But we have resisted the temptation to trivialize the matter through any of these means because we firmly believe that this is a time of reflection on irony of the highest caliber presented...

...best cocktails, still in early testing in the most advanced cancer patients, try to include some agents aimed at cutting off a tumor's blood supply (so-called angiogenesis inhibitors), others designed to trigger a cancer cell's pre-programmed suicide pathway, or still other compounds that muck up the intricate signaling system that a cancer cell uses to guide and control its growth. Scientists are also turning their attention to metastasis, which is responsible for over 90% of the deaths from solid tumor cancers, by finding the genes and pathways responsible for launching tumor cells to distant sites...
