After almost 40 minutes of rough and scoreless play, Yale got a good rush that nearly resulted in a goal. The Bulldogs' Jennifer Mendoza was alone in front of the net, but Harvard co-captain Jessica Larson, a mainstay in the back along with freshman Katie Urbanic, kept the Crimson out of harm...
...deserted block in San Francisco, talking about the business they are starting together. "We're so happy right now," Thomas says. "This is an adventure. We're jumping into the cold water, and it feels great." It's surprising that he doesn't go for a Gold Rush analogy, as people here tend to do once per conversation.

For him, the rush of such sex outweighs the risk of becoming HIV positive--especially because AIDS, in his eyes, is turning from a fatal disease into a chronic illness. Lucky for this guy that he is not in South Africa, where there are scant funds to treat HIV patients or pay for anti-AIDS drugs. Here his risk taking would leave him dead. Not every country is able to spend millions of dollars for AIDS drugs so that...
