Cohen burst onto the collegiate lacrosse scene in the Crimson’s season opening upset over then-No. 5 Duke. The attackman filled in for pneumonia-plagued sophomore Dean Gibbons and registered a hat trick against the powerhouse Blue Devils. Cohen was awarded his first Ivy League Rookie of the Week designation for this performance...
...back in it…we gave them hope that they could come back and win it in the second half.”After the Lions opened the scoring in the second half, Doherty notched two goals in less than a minute to complete a hat trick and re-capture the lead at 6-5. Columbia responded by rattling off four straight goals in a little over three minutes to take the largest lead of the game at 9-6. Halpern broke Columbia’s scoring run, though, to pull the game within two halfway through the second...
...trick, she found, was that they learned how to change their diet. When Mikucki studied the organisms' DNA and energy-processing systems, she found that they were indeed descended from species that once lived in the open ocean. Underneath the ice, they were deprived of light to run photosynthesis, and instead they relied on what they found around them - principally sulfur and iron - to generate energy. The genes responsible for that alternative metabolism are also found in other marine organisms but they're less important to those species because the oceans provide more options for food...
...psychological process at work here. A leading theory is that exercising self-control is so hard on your brain that, like physical exercise, it depletes glucose levels, making you feel weaker. It's possible that imagining someone who has to exert self-control, and feeling their misery, tricks your brain into believing that your own glucose levels have declined.

This is probably no longer possible, after Pyongyang's announcement yesterday. So the trick for Obama now is twofold. He must figure out how much time to let pass before trying to re-engage the North. (Even before the April 5 launch, Obama's special envoy, Stephen Bosworth, talked of letting the "dust from the missile [test] settle.") Then Obama must decide what to say to Pyongyang whenever the moment of reaching out arrives...
