...alive, their physical condition stabilized or improved and their tumors slowed or stopped growing, or shrunk. These early findings have elicited "very positive reactions and an increased interest from colleagues," Kämmerer says, while cautioning that the results are preliminary and that the study was not designed to test efficacy, but to identify side effects and determine the safety of the diet-based approach. So far, it's impossible to predict whether it will really work. It is already evident that it doesn't always: two patients recently left the study because their tumors kept growing, even though they...
...before Wideroff scored in the second overtime period to lead the Crimson to a 1-0 victory over cross-town rival Boston University. Overtime matchups weren’t kind to the Crimson last season, as Harvard went 0-3-1 in extra time.But if its first long-game test of 2007 is any indication of future success, then the team should be celebrating at midfield much more often. “It was a great mental toughness exercise for this team at this early stage,” Leone said. “I’m more impressed...

That's five to seven years of downward pressure on local housing prices, construction employment and the like. The great test of the coming months and years is whether the U.S. economy is strong enough to withstand that kind of pressure without buckling. Right now things aren't looking good, but this is an equation with too many variables--Fed rate cuts, congressional bailouts, the ebb and flow of the global economy...
