...caught the last five minutes of Northeastern's 3-0 loss at Brown on Saturday. It was a sad sight to see a team who had beaten the nation's top-ranked team just nine days before struggle like it did. When Brown scored its third goal with a minute left, one Husky whacked her stick against the side of the net in anguish, and the rest of the team was too jaded to care that much...
That's right, folks, you missed quite a sight this past weekend. Crimson guard and Ohio native Brady Merchant threw one down with authority in the overtime period of Harvard's loss to Yale on Friday. Not to be outdone by his Quincy House roommate, Crimson forward Sam Winter, who grew up on the prairies of Kansas, belittled the Brown frontcourt the very next day with his impressive dunk and subsequent tongue-brandishing celebration...

No streetlights, no houses in sight, no reason to be there at all. The engine was still running when the killer approached, a gun in his hand.

...studies of mice that have been genetically engineered to develop Alzheimer's-like plaques. These mice exhibit at least some symptoms of memory loss, performing less well on tests that measure how long it takes them to get back to the one dry platform researchers have positioned out of sight in a watery maze. There are now strong hints that retarding the development of plaques helps preserve intellectual performance, at least in rodents. And that raises an intriguing question: Might getting rid of plaques once they have developed do more than slow a patient's decline...
