...most part, it seamlessly carries through. Even as they move through the crowd in preparation for their next appearance in the spotlight, the actors keep the audience involved; “Do I look okay?” Sander asked one audience member as he rushed to the stage to meet his love Mia. Though it may not at all resemble the theater that modern audiences are accustomed to, “The Donkey Show” demonstrates a definite grasp of the theatrical, capturing Paulus’ conception for the audience interaction and excitement to come at the A.R.T...
...third game of the season. Perplexing, however, are the Crimson’s struggles when considering its track record and personnel. The desire to win ought to be there. Coming within two successful penalty kicks of advancing to the second round of college soccer’s biggest stage is healthy motivation, to say the least. The players are there too. Yes, Harvard lost key graduating seniors in the midfield and on the backline, but a debilitating loss it was not. As the class of 2009 exited the stage, the situation appeared to be more of an opportunity than...
...cancer (that which has not spread beyond the prostate) from 1992 to 2002 and delayed surgery or radiation for at least six months after the diagnosis - the wait-and-see strategy commonly referred to as watchful waiting. In the majority of these patients - those who were diagnosed with early-stage disease at a median age of 78 - the 10-year risk of cancer-related death was less than 10%. Researchers also calculated the risk of death in a smaller group of watchful waiters who were diagnosed between ages 66 and 74, an age group for whom comparable data existed...
...author of the new study, which was published on Sept. 15 in the Journal of the American Medical Association, but it may be chalked up to a variety of factors, many of which have little to do with actual improvements in survival. For one: the classification of prostate-cancer stages has changed over the past 15 years. What might have been considered a Stage 3 or 4 cancer in 1990 would now be considered Stage 5, 6 or 7 - that is, a substantially more advanced cancer, says Lu-Yao. So it would stand to reason that men diagnosed with early...
Another factor, says Lu-Yao, is the widespread use of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screen beginning in the 1990s. The controversial screen measures PSA levels in the blood to determine whether prostate cancer may be present. Since the screen can detect the tiny, early-stage cancers that in years past would have gone unnoticed, the number of patients diagnosed with (and cured of) prostate cancer in the modern era has gone up. Within the over-65 set in her study, Lu-Yao says, more patients were probably diagnosed with early-stage, survivable cancer compared with patients diagnosed from...
