Scientists aglow over drug for radiation poisoning
With the Starship Enterprise seemingly doomed after losing warp power, Mr. Spock exposes himself to lethal radiation in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. After repairing the engines and saving the day, Spock dies. Evidently, the movie's writers didn't think scientists would find a drug to cure radiation poisoning by the late 23rd century. Yet local scientists may be on the verge of doing just that more than two centuries before the setting of the Star Trek film. Rice University's Jim Tour and his colleagues at two Houston health institutions have found a drug that, when given to mice before radiation exposure, is 5,000 times more effective than the best-available therapy for radiation injuries. Officials at the Department of Defense, seeking remedies for the radiation sickness that would follow a nuclear strike, were so taken by the research that they recently gave Tour a $540,000 grant and asked him to compress the next phase of testing into an almost unheard-of nine months.
Toe to Toe: Hodes versus Schmidley (Hodes)
Make no mistake, Johan Santana to the Mets is a huge deal. Epic, in fact. But does it make the Mets New York's team? Not even close. The Yankees are still tops in New York, and one pitcher, no matter how great, cannot do anything to change that. Historically, the comparisons scarcely need to be made. Then again, why not have some fun. World Series Titles: 26-2. Pennants: 39-4. Division Titles: 15-2. Need I go on? The Yankees are the most successful franchise in the history of professional sports. The Mets? Eh, not so much. Still, this isn't a historical debate -- it's an exercise in who will be the "it" team in New York in 2008.

Rapping with a proud Albanian
This week Today and PM are broadcasting my radio reports on my Balkans trip. One of the frustrations of radio or TV is that you can find someone who has some very interesting things to say, but in the quest for balanced pieces reflecting the whole story I can only give them a half-minute or so of airtime. Here, I am not limited in that way. So, over the next few days I'll be posting four different stories about how people are reacting to the Serbian elections or the looming independence of Kosovo. They are not meant to be comprehensive or in themselves balanced: they are a snapshot. But I hope together they add up to a bigger picture. Rapper's studio Genc Prevlaka sits on a low, antique wooden stool playing a traditional Albanian wooden flute. In the corner of the small studio is a long necked guitar-like instrument which is a couple of centuries old.
'Chelsea can still win the title', insists Grant
'We can still win the title, it will not be easy, but we can do it and we will challenge to the end,' Grant told Sky Sports One. 'Every player coming back for us will make us stronger and we need them back. Players coming back from the African Nations Cup will help us. Frank Lampard also returned and I thought he played well. 'Of course every game which we don't win we are disappointe, especially when it is a home match. 'We created some chances against Liverpool but it was not a game that was high on quality and was very tactical. 'We had chances to win the game but were unable to get the goal. We changed with subs and tried to win the game but it was not such a good game.' Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez felt his side were marginally the better team in the match after his first encounter with a Chelsea side under Grant.
Many obstacles face Cards at USF
TAMPA — The defense, already thin, lost two of its best and most experienced players this week. The offense has become predictable and one-dimensional. One of the nation's top defensive players awaits. The opponent is high-quality and the site has been particularly unfriendly. Other than that, everything looks great for the University of Louisville football team (5-6, 2-3) as it takes on South Florida (7-3, 2-3) Saturday night in its bid to pull an upset and enhance its prospects for a 10th straight bowl berth. Kickoff is at 8 p.m. (ESPNU) in Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Bucs of the NFL. UofL is coming off its best all-around performance of the season, rallying from a 31-14 deficit to tie the score, then losing at West Virginia 38-31 on Nov. 9. But since then, the Cards — who traveled with only 25 healthy defensive players — have lost two more starters.
