...that Pfizer announced this week that it is going to try to settle the cox-2 safety question once and for all. Working with cardiologist Steven Nissen of the Cleveland Clinic, Pfizer has initiated a massive $100 million, four-year trial that will test the drug on 20,000 arthritis patients who are already at high risk for heart attack or stroke to determine what risk, if any, Celebrex actually poses...
Baria (141 lbs.) started the day with a 12-2 win over Chris Nissen from the Air Force Academy. In his next match, Baria was bested by Garret Spooner of Fresno State. Spooner pinned Baria in just 58 seconds...

So how do they know their way around? Here, rogainer Creaser more than earns his keep. "This guy," says Frank Nissen, a surveyor with Queensland Parks and Wildlife, "has the best spatial brain of anyone I've ever met. More than 250 sites and he can lead you to every one of them."

Not just species - like one kind of kangaroo versus another - but whole groups of things that are as unique as, say, whales are." Two years ago, Nissen and geologist Elizabeth Price discovered a plentiful site on ground that teams had walked over a hundred times previously: a bushfire had cleared away the grass to unveil an ancient graveyard for various extinct species. "At Riversleigh," says Archer's wife, project coprincipal Sue Hand, "there are always these episodes...
