...pretty heartbreaking. Three-quarters of the nearly 1,500 patients in the 18-month trial stopped taking the drug they were assigned, often because it wasn't working or had intolerable side effects. Zyprexa did best (merely 64% dropped out), but, yup, it carries a high risk of weight gain and diabetes. Three other second-generation drugs turned out to be no more effective than the old one, Trilanfon (perphenazine)-a cousin of the sledgehammers but with a somewhat better picture on side effects.

When an object does float on water, the water will not remain flat, but will instead form a bump or dimple, depending on the object’s weight.

Round after round, two pugilists charged to the center of the squared circle and threw leather at each other with calculated violence. Jesus Chavez, 32, a boxer who had been a world champion a weight class lower, was trying to capture the IBF Lightweight Championship belt from hard-punching Leavander Johnson, 35, a tough-talking fighter from Atlantic City. Instead, Johnson would lose his belt, and on Thursday, five days after the fight, he'd lose his life because of injuries suffered in the ring...
