White House Press Secretary Tony Snow's announcement Tuesday that his colon cancer had returned provides a good opportunity to revisit the importance of colon cancer screening. Colon cancer is easily treated, and even cured in some cases, if lesions are caught early. The problem is that most people don't know they are harboring cancerous growths, since the disease has very few symptoms. Only a detailed look, provided by a colonoscopy screening, can pick up and remove small lesions before they become life-threatening...
Currier House residents who battled their way home to the Quad during last Friday night’s snow expecting warmth and shelter instead faced the foul odor of a sewage leak. On Friday afternoon, one of the House’s primary draining pumps shut down, causing a build-up of pressure that burst a sewage pipe in the House’s Lower Main hallway.

Mother Nature did her best to stop the No. 20 Fairfield men’s lacrosse team on Saturday, as the Connecticut snow forced the postponement of the team’s matchup with Harvard to the following afternoon.

But it does appear to fly in the face of White House attempts to distance top Administration officials from the firings.

Deputy spokesman Tony Fratto insisted...
...called "The Last Marathon" - a 26.2-mile race across ice, rock, snow, and mud on Antarctica's King George Island. Runners huddle by the start line, shielded from the wind in the lee of a Russian research base, before bursting out along the rugged, hilly course. Up and down three quarters of a mile of glacier - twice - and looping through a further three Antarctic research stations, the 145 finishers race in hats, gloves, fleece and windbreakers. In fact, on race day in late February, it's warm enough to be snowing - this is, after all, the end of the Antarctic...
