Blood Sweat And Peers

NEWSWEEK: You quit your job with a prominent diabetes clinic to focus full time on the Diabetes Training Camp. If exercise is so critical to good diabetes management, why wouldn’t patients already be getting similar instruction from their physicians? Dr. Matthew Corcoran: When I started practicing, it struck me that we were working at the wrong end of the disease; that we were sort of busting our humps all the time to treat people very quickly in clinics—trouble-shooting and taking care of complications....

Blood In The Water

As luck would have it, I splashed into someone else floating face up. It was [my shipmate] Stanley Dubiel, raving, out of his mind with pain. His legs were badly burned; I had thrown him overboard before I jumped into the ocean. Looking back over my shoulder as I swam, I saw the Duncan chasing me. The ship was like a giant flamethrower. Still steaming wildly in a tight circle, blazing like a Viking’s funeral pyre, she bore straight down on me, growing larger as she approached, spewing fire and smoke from every opening....

Blue Jackets Under The Radar Deadline Haul Sets Up Nicely For Playoff Run

The Senators held the most intrigue leading up to 3 p.m. ET on Monday, particularly with regard to captain Erik Karlsson’s situation.

Blue Jays Danny Valencia Vents Frustration After Being Designated For Assignment

The move certainly caught Valencia by surprise. He took to Twitter Saturday afternoon to express his frustration. MORE: Jays among trade deadline winners | Which big names could still move in August? Valencia’s stats (296/.331/.506, seven home runs and 29 RBI in 58 games) are respectable for a utility player.

With his ability to play multiple infield and outfield positions, and his offensive pop as a platoon player against lefties, chances are Valencia will draw interest around the league....

Book Excerpt Jesus Of Nazareth

And not without good reason. Caricatures notwithstanding, Benedict XVI is no reactive anti-modern. He readily and gratefully acknowledges that, thanks to historical-critical scholarship, we know much more, today, about the different literary genres of the Bible; about the ways in which a Gospel writer’s intent affected his portrait of Jesus; about the theological struggles within early Christianity that shaped a particular Christian community’s memory of its Lord. The difficulty is that, amidst all the knowledge gained in the biblical dissecting room, the Jesus of the Gospels has tended to disappear, to be replaced by a given scholar’s reconstruction from the bits and pieces left on the dissecting room floor....
