...Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH). “It cut the risk for girls by two-thirds, that’s really quite large.” Yet boys in the health program did not demonstrate any measurable reduction in the unhealthy weight control behaviors—a result that surprised the authors of the study. “We don’t know the answer to that, and that’s definitely one of the top areas that we want to go in our research,” Austin said. “What we need...
...result is that Congress appears as tied in knots as usual. Its approval ratings hovered around 18% in a mid-August Gallup poll, making even Bush's dismal numbers seem positively sparkling. But does Congress deserve such low marks? Democrats and Republicans will spend the fall tangling over Iraq, the farm bill, energy policy and other contested issues.

Players frequently knock heads, but it's hard to predict which of the many hits will result in brain-rattling concussions, which are relatively few in number and--contrary to popular belief--often occur without loss of consciousness. Eight colleges, including three Big Ten schools, are using the team version of Riddell's high-tech helmets, which wirelessly relay real-time data--gleaned from the same sensors found in car air bags--to a sideline computer that can send a pager alert if a player...

Bush and Petraeus have trumpeted the fact that Sunni insurgents in western Iraq who were once allied with al-Qaeda against the U.S. have joined forces with the Americans against the terrorists. These new alliances were in part the result of luck. Al-Qaeda violently overplayed its hand and started randomly killing Sunnis who refused to ally themselves with the terrorist organization. And in some places, America won the Sunnis over the old-fashioned way: by paying them. The question is how widely the Anbar model can be applied elsewhere...
