...Harvard defense played exceptionally well and fought off Eagle attacks by staying compact and forcing non-threatening attempts on goal. Junior keeper Lauren Mann made 11 saves. Freshman Melanie Baskind got the Crimson on the board first in the 10th minute. After a good string of possessions, she received a pass from co-captain Nicole Rhodes, made a quick turn, raced down the flank, and struck the ball into the corner of the net with her left foot. Baskind leads Harvard with three goals and eight points this season. After the goal, Boston College controlled the tempo and maintained almost...

Within the Amish study group, some volunteers had two copies of a fattening variant; these people were 67% more likely to be obese and were on average 7 lbs. heavier than people without any copies of this form of the gene...
...read your cover story, it struck me that this presidential election is not about politics or who is the best man for the job of leading the U.S. It's about how America wants to define itself as a nation. Both the candidates possess qualities and espouse policies that are relevant for the role of President. However, this election is not about choosing someone who can steer the U.S. through difficult times. It is a challenge to U.S. voters to prove to the world that they do not see individuals in terms of race, color, religion, gender...
