...Eighteen centimeters shorter and 20 kg lighter and, to state the obvious, Japanese, Notchi is not exactly a dead ringer for his muse. But he does bear a resemblance that is propped up by some signature moves: clenching his hand lightly and holding up his index finger while repeating, "Yes, we can! Change we need!"; stating, "My name is Obama!," while narrowing his eyes slightly and looking into the distance; and walking lightly with one hand in his pocket - a stance that has been praised by the security guards at Obama's Chicago home, who said that's exactly...
...dangers of misdiagnosing a patient's true condition are obvious. There are also potential risks of treating a nonexistent illness. Currently, more than 300 million people have asthma worldwide, with another 100 million patients anticipated by 2025. Unnecessarily treating people may have no impact at best, but it costs patients money and, worse, may expose them to harmful side effects for years or even decades. "The commonest medicines that we use are inhaled steroids," says Aaron. "They are very safe for patients with asthma, but are associated with long-term side effects, including osteoporosis, glaucoma and cataracts." The drugs...

Bill Clinton almost lost his presidency because of an affair! It makes me sick to think that Bush will stay in office until Jan. 20.

The uniqueness of its subject and the lack of sufficient previous efforts with which to compare it make judgment difficult. Even with these obstacles, though, it was obvious that the production’s attempts at achieving authentic style and presentation—elements that should have served to make it extraordinary—were actually its greatest weaknesses. A romantic but comic farce, “L’Ormindo” has a positively Baroque plot...
...late hit on the kick return, taking 10 yards off of Chris Wynn’s return. On the whole, there were 13 flags on the day. The Crimson tallied five, accounting for 58 yards, and the Quakers racked up eight for 61 yards. “Stating the obvious, they gave us all we could handle,” Harvard coach Tim Murphy said. Captain Matt Curtis was twice flagged for roughing the passer, one of which turned a potential third-down stop into a first down at midfield. When all was said and done and Harvard escaped with...
