...Saturday, Ivy League play began at Lavietes Pavilion with one team rolling and the other reeling. On one side, Harvard had just finished its non-conference schedule with an all-time best 11 wins. On the other, Dartmouth was playing without a head coach as the Big Green’s Terry Dunn resigned on the eve of the Ivy opener...
...leap from a mouse study to a human study, of course - and an even bigger leap to consider developing a G9a-based treatment for addiction. The protein regulates so many genes that such a drug would almost certainly have unwanted and potentially deadly side effects. But a better understanding of the G9a pathways could lead to the development of safer, more specific drugs. And studying the genes that control G9a itself could also help screen people at risk for cocaine addiction: those with naturally lower levels of the protein would be the ones to watch. Still, there...
...Wickrematunge, who was also a freelance reporter for TIME, was shot on Jan. 8, 2009, while driving to work. His car was followed by two motorcycles, which blocked his path as the gunmen shot him through the driver-side window, when he was just five minutes away from his office.

...Each side blames the other. The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, which owns the Ady Gil and other ships devoted to disrupting Japan's ongoing whaling efforts, said in a statement that the space-age speedboat was "dead in the water" when the Japanese ship, the Shonan Maru No. 2, rammed it. Peter Hammarstedt, the first officer of the Bob Barker, a sister ship of the Ady Gil named after the former Price Is Right host and donor, says that five of the six Ady Gil crew members were on deck waving to the Bob Barker when the whaling ship...
