...Warning Signal It was almost as if U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell had two sets of meetings in Moscow last week. Russian officials say he spent a "friendly and constructive" time with Russian President Vladimir Putin. But by the U.S. account, there was a "spirited" exchange in which Powell praised U.S.-Russian relations but dwelt in unusual detail on the Kremlin's dark side, warning that relations with the U.S. would ultimately be damaged if Russia failed to address concerns about its apparent slide toward authoritarianism. And in an op-ed in the Russian daily Izvestia, Powell wrote that...
...Captain Ron Arad, is part of the second stage of the prisoner deal. Israeli intelligence officials believe he is dead. Some of the Lebanese prisoners released last week were captured by Israel as bargaining chips for Arad or his remains. The fact that they've been freed is a signal that he will figure in the deal. Hizballah is expected to give Israel information on Arad in return for Samir Quntar, imprisoned in Israel since he stole across the border in 1979 and killed a policeman and three members of an Israeli family.

"It" is a genetically rare type of HDL, or "good" cholesterol, dubbed ApoA-1 Milano. First identified 30 years ago in a small group of people living in northern Italy, this super HDL is even more protective against heart disease than regular HDL. In a study released this past fall, researchers injected a synthetic version of ApoA-1 Milano into 47 patients and found that unlike...
...been a rough new year for football coaches. No fewer than seven NFL signal callers either were fired at the end of the season or quit rather than continue to take the heat. Some, like Dick Jauron of the Chicago Bears, Dave McGinnis of the Arizona Cardinals and Gregg Williams of the Buffalo Bills, were taking the fall for teams with a recent history of woes. But several started the season with good reason for optimism and expected to be working on play-off game plans, not their resumes, this month. Here's a look at some of the most...
