Spielman also said that the study’s warning about the spread of malaria “is a bit of a stretch.” The study forecasted that suffering from malaria would increase by more than 100 percent in Ethiopia, South Africa, and Zimbabwe later this century...
...title race was ever decided the first weekend of a season, and there’s no more to be learned from a 2-0-0 record than from an 0-2-0 mark—not when hockey seasons stretch more than 30 games. But for now, at least for a week, the Quinnipiac men’s program is a perfect 2-0-0 in ECAC play. And it certainly means something to the Bobcats. Quinnipiac has had a hockey team since 1975—nearly 80 years fewer than Harvard—and the Bobcats have only...
...time to put it all together. The Harvard men’s hockey team kicks off an 11-day, six-game stretch in Boston with weekend contests against No. 3 Cornell and No. 17 Colgate, and to match the perpetual ECAC powers, the Crimson (2-1-0, 2-1-0) must sift through its first three games—through a sporadic mix of precision and sloppiness, of pinpoint execution and absolute inability to convert. En route to its early record, Harvard outskated Dartmouth 5-2, outfought Princeton 2-1 and just plain could not execute against Quinnipiac...

Caged chickens stand in their own feces and are never able to stretch their wings. Many have been debeaked, and some have chronic pain and infections. We should ban the inhumane standards of factory farming. I believe that avian flu is the quiet revenge of those millions of chickens, ducks and geese we have tortured unmercifully before they reach our plates...
