| Romney opens up Republican race
Other contenders, including former Law and Order actor Fred Thompson, and Mr Giuliani, ranked in low single figures. Campaigning under the slogan "Washington Is Broken", a triumphant Mr Romney said a win had appeared impossible just a week ago, but the people of this beleaguered state had backed his call for change. "We are celebrating here in Michigan, I can tell you. Guess what they are doing in Washington? They are worrying," Mr Romney said. "Tonight is a victory of optimism over Washington-style pessimism." Hillary Clinton won a "dead rubber" Democratic primary vote with 56 per cent of the vote. But her main opponents, Barack Obama and John Edwards, had withdrawn from the race when the national party punished state for moving its primary to an earlier date.

Professor launches Yale-Ghana research exchange
Last summer, Emily Mosites EPH '08 spent 11 weeks traveling the most rural areas of the Kintampo, Ghana on foot. She and her team were searching villages for people unknowingly infected with hookworm — a soil-born parasite that is a leading cause of anemia and malnutrition in the developing world. Mosites found prevalence to be alarmingly high — with 45 percents of Ghanaians in the area infected. But of those living with the disease, many had never made it to a diagnostic facility, let alone accessed treatment. “The closest diagnostic facility is five miles away, and people don't have cars," she said. “A great number had never accessed a health care facility in their lives." Mosites is among many Yale students and faculty members who have conducted field research in Accra, thanks to a two-way training initiative established in 2007 by Michael Cappello, a professor of Microbial Pathogenesis at the medical school.
Latest fan blog: Sorting through Grambling's addition by subtraction
I would love to see some sort of big torunament like the former American Press Tournament in my hometown of Lake Charles. That had real competition and teams from all over. It would be a great thing -- and could be done. But would Coach Lyons even let histeam play in a tournament like that, with real competition? Or will he continue to trim the schedule in order get that annual trip to the Cajundome, where he will inevitably get run off the court yet again?I would love to see the day when the Kittens can stop looking for the advantage and start getting prepared to play on any court.Paul Taylor, a Grambling resident, is the guy at the GSU games in the Paul "Tank" Younger jersey. .
