...have not been convincingly associated with thrombosis, citing a study the airline conducted in 1993. But new research may be about to change all that. This week the World Health Organization is convening a meeting of scientists and industry representatives in Geneva to look at DVT specifically in the context of air travel. On the agenda: plans to review all the medical evidence available about DVT and to identify priority research areas. Separately, some of the scientists will also discuss a forthcoming research project that intends to duplicate the Lufthansa study, but with more sophisticated procedures and equipment. "There have...

At some schools--including Columbine, understandably--the tips lead automatically to a police investigation, even when they are benign comments taken out of context...

...this context, Murphy's purchase of options on 210,000 metric tons of carbon (the equivalent of annual exhaust from approximately 27,800 cars) from a Canadian company that was itself trying to help meet a national target seems a bit odd. The market for this kind of trade hasn't been established, and there isn't even a global agreement on how carbon dioxide should be valued. Indeed there isn't even unanimity on global warming itself...
While any increase in costs is always marked by opposition, particularly in light of the recent 3.5 percent tuition hike, this increase is a valuable one of which the effects will be immediately visible. Most undergraduates may not know where their $34,269 per year goes, especially in the context of Harvard's $19 billion-plus endowment, but they will be able to observe first-hand the results of more money for their on-campus organizations. Furthermore, the fee is optional, and students who choose not to pay it are by no means required...
