Three of the nine cases of influenza reported at the Harvard Dental School earlier this week were confirmed as H1N1 “swine flu” yesterday after the Massachusetts Department of Public Health received notice from the Centers for Disease Control in Atlanta, where the testing was conducted.

...division, which is a rather small sample size. This meant that not all of the top teams might qualify, so we needed to perform well.”The regatta, which was co-hosted by Harvard and MIT, consisted of a western and eastern portion, in which the top nine schools from each contest’s 18-team field moved on to nationals.
