...environmental factors. As a hedge against later bone erosion, children identified as vulnerable to osteoporosis will be urged to build up their bone density by increasing their calcium intake and exercising with weights. Those at high risk will also be strongly advised to shun cigarettes and alcohol, which speed up bone loss, and perhaps take vitamin D supplements and estrogen- replacement pills after menopause. Eventually, researchers hope to develop new drugs that stimulate bone formation. "The whole business of genetic testing is clouded by things we can't control," observes Morrison. "What's good is that, here...

The man who wants expert advice and individual attention to his academic problems can get all he needs if he is willing to work for it. And conversely...
...device: contact lenses. “It’s definitely helped,” he said. “I’m definitely a lot more comfortable at the plate.

By eating innings on Sundays, Brunnig rounded out a pitching staff many expected to falter thanks to the departures of Frank Herrmann (to the Cleveland Indians) and Mike Morgalis (graduation). On one memorable...
...Tigers yet again in the final race of the season, grabbing the bronze medal by finishing third at last week’s Intercollegiate Rowing Association National Championships (IRAs). While Radcliffe took home hardware at the IRAs for the sixth straight season, they were unable to overcome the speed of a strong Wisconsin crew, which won its second-straight IRA championship, or the challenge of surprising Georgetown, which came in second. “I think part of our problem [was] that we were fixing too much on Princeton...we see them a lot and we tend to fixate...
