...Crimson Coach Jay Weiss said. “We’ll then come back [from break] and work back up. This will be our practice run for the NCAA tournament.” Harvard placed seventh last year with two wrestlers reaching the finals. Despite stiffer competition, the Crimson looks to better last year’s already stellar performance. Each college sends one wrestler per weight class for a total of 10 wrestlers. For the Crimson, three young faces are set to compete: freshmen Dan Kelly at 125 lbs., Shay Warren at 133, and Corey Jantzen...
...Jones argues that poor marketing and promotion, rather than stiffer rents, had been the industry's main problems. "Two years ago, the industry wasn't confident. Now, it is." Rowland agrees: "We let 'Savile Row Bespoke' be used right, left and center."

...researchers speculate, could be related to two things. One, it could simply reflect the aging of the arteries; younger women are more likely to have flexible, pliable arteries that respond to estrogen, which tends to discourage plaque formation. Older arteries, on the other hand, are more likely to be stiffer, and already burdened with fatty deposits and plaques; in the presence of these plaques, it turns out, estrogen may even have the reverse effect, causing them to destabilize and rupture, leading to blocked-up arteries and a heart attack...
