...house call is making a comeback. Not a decade ago, doctor visits to the home were declared a "vanishing practice" in the New England Journal of Medicine. Now experts predict that as time-strapped baby boomers age--and their parents survive to be superelderly--the demand for doctors who are as comfortable examining patients in the bedroom as in the office will soar. Medicare data show a 37% surge to more than 2 million home visits by physicians from 1995 to 2005. That is partly because Medicare changed the rules for reimbursement in 1998, making house calls an attractive model...
...Angeles They're cute, furry, and when they're not chasing each other around kelp forests, they're floating on their backs like miniature teddy bears. Hunted nearly to extinction for their luxuriant fur--the thickest of any mammal's--the sea otters of California were making a comeback until they started mysteriously dying off. State wildlife officials recovered a record 281 dead otters last year, and this year looks to be even worse. Five or six wash up on California's beaches and rocks each week. In August alone, 28 dead otters were cast ashore, including an alarming number...
...passes of 21 and 33 yards. Junior kicker Matt Schindel split the uprights with a 34-yard field goal, putting the Crimson up 31-7 with 3:29 remaining in the third quarter.Brown began to search for a little magic of its own in the fourth quarter, seeking a comeback to rival Harvard’s miraculous rallies in the last two games, and was aided by a pair of personnel changes.Witt slightly injured his elbow on the final play of the third quarter and was replaced by senior Richard Irvin for the remainder of the game, while Dawson...
...with a come-from-behind toppling of Lehigh, Princeton has recent history in its favor. The Tigers edged Lafayette on the road last year and the Leopards haven’t bested an Ivy team in many months. The most impressive aspect of Princeton’s second-half comeback was its defense, which despite the loss of several fringe NFL talents from 2005, shut out the Mountain Hawks for the last 47 minutes plus. The least impressive: Quarterback Jeff Terrell’s three picks. This time, the turnovers are Princeton’s undoing.Prediction: Lafayette 20, Princeton...
...preseason has been a manifestation of how much the team has changed. The Crimson’s defense—one of its weaknesses last year—has allowed it to win close games and rally from big deficits. In addition to producing a stirring comeback against Binghamton, when Harvard rallied from 14-9 down in the deciding game, the Crimson showcased its mettle against three solid California squads. Though the team has lost four straight since winning two of three matches at the Harvard Invitational, the Crimson has shown the kind of determination that was noticeably absent last...
