...around in high heels played a role. But in a study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, researchers found that the rates of osteoarthritis of the knee in a group of 111 women between the ages of 50 and 70 were not affected by their heels, regardless of how often or how high they wore them. Factors that did increase risk included previous knee injury, heavy smoking, osteoarthritis of the feet and, most important, having been overweight (with a BMI of 25 or higher). --By Sora Song
...uninitiated, co-ed rooming seems sexy in a ’60s kind of way—students can live together regardless of gender, sharing free love, music, and dirty towels.

Baliunas and Soon are researchers competing for funds from a limited number of sources and can hardly be blamed for accepting oil money. But regardless of whether the technical objections raised by other scientists are really legitimate, a small hitch remains. Baliunas and Soon’s findings bear a curious resemblance to their financial backers’ probable agenda. After all, look at what the oil industry got: A paper that can be used to discredit the half-century of evidence climatologists have accumulated suggesting that human industrial pollution is quickly warming the earth. And, even better, since...
...doing badly will go through recruiting en route to banking or consulting. The recruiting season will really take off in a couple of months, but companies are already flexing their corporate muscle with posters in House entryways and psuedo-informal get-togethers at the Charles Hotel, forcing all seniors, regardless of their intentions, to confront the issue of next year before this one has even properly begun. In fact, that may not be an entirely terrible thing: nothing is harder, for me at least, than stepping back to see the big picture when in the midst of hectic...
