...doing it tend to be shy and retiring. Not so these two. Warren, known for his absolute loyalty to the bolo tie, wasn?t afraid to go out on a limb for an improbable idea. Back in 1979, Warren, who was then working at Royal Perth Hospital, observed a spiral bacteria growing in the stomachs of people with gastritis, or inflammation of the stomach. He became the butt of jokes among his colleagues, who knew-it was right there in all the textbooks-that nothing could grow in the acid environment of the stomach...
...procuring additional coursepacks when necessary (as with materials for this year’s massive Moral Reasoning 22, “Justice”). The only differences most students are likely to notice are the lack of an option to termbill coursepacks and the appearance of a new, non-spiral-bound variety of coursepack that invariably costs more than seems reasonable...
...kind to Columbia this season. The Lions’ two most winnable games are the season opener under the lights at Fordham and the home opener against Duquesne.

When Fiske took over Bath & Body Works in February 2003, same-store sales were skidding, having dropped 3% in 2002 and 11% the year before.

Fiske came in, began...
...spent a large part of my second day of blogging addressing people?s reactions to my first day. The interactive spiral had begun. I corrected my English, clarified my ideas, shortened my sentences, and posted new chunks of writing every three hours or so, reading through countless e-mails in the intervals and responding to them both directly and on the website. Compared to the inertia of writing the old way- with plenty of time to meet one?s deadlines, precious little awareness of one?s readers, and no easy way to offer second thoughts after one?s first thoughts...
