...didn't drop. They rose, prompting Blair's spluttered exclamation. Even the Teflon Taoiseach's opponents doubt he's pursuing a gilded lifestyle. A man of simple tastes, Ahern says his biggest indulgence is "a ticket to some good football match." Yet he is anything but a simple man. Quick on his feet and with a speedy grasp of policy, he's also a consummate politician. Charles Haughey, a discredited forerunner in the Taoiseach's office, described Ahern admiringly as "the most cunning, the most devious, the best of them all." Even so, voters seem to trust him.

...like E. coli hold the answer. Ebola is transmitted by contact with body fluids, and it's rapidly fatal. When people get it, they become so sick so fast - their organs literally liquefy - that others try to stay away from them. What's more, the mere fact of their quick immobility means they can't carry the virus very far. Ebola usually burns through an isolated village or community and then has nowhere else to go.

Further study of the team’s statistics page elucidates that 14 different throwers have seen game action for Yale this season and eight of those have started a game. If suddenly you can’t find six kids on your bench worthy of starting an Ivy tilt on the hill, it shouldn’t be up to the Ivy League office to accommodate your short-handed staff (current...
...that the case illustrates the way government must balance the rights of the mentally ill and the duty of government to protect society from those who are dangerous. Indeed, the reason state law required Barnett to consider outpatient treatment first is precisely because some judges may be too quick to deprive the mentally ill of their liberties. "That is perhaps the central tension in mental health law," said Professor Timothy Hall, associate dean at the Brandeis School of Law at the University of Louisville. The FBI says only 22 states, including Virginia, report mental health records to the federal database...
