But, Levin recounted, that was actually just the white cells going in to attack the tumor ... Читать дальше...

Astronomers have been perplexed for 15 years about Lyman-Alpha Blobs, giant clouds of shining light in space. Using some of the world's most powerful telescopes, an international team of researchers has finally learned what causes these clouds to shine so bright, and its a violent surprise.

Early in our relationship, my girlfriend let me know she had $124,000 in medical school loans.

I never had to deal with student loans myself, as I had an undergraduate scholarship and did not have to go to graduate school.

While helping her navigate through a myriad of options, I realized that choosing the right student loan repayment plan is confusing and complex.

There was some information out there to help with the process, such as student loan repayment calculators... Читать дальше...

The Bengals defense did a good job of stopping the Broncos at the end of the first quarter, but a special teams miscue has helped them lose an early lead at home.

Books can be incredibly powerful. They have the ability to suck us in, take us on adventures, and influence the way we think.

They can teach us, move us, give us new perspectives, and help shape us. And the most powerful ones change our lives forever.

I asked my Business Insider colleagues to share the one book that has significantly influenced them.

If you're looking for life-changing books to read this fall, you may want to check these... Читать дальше...

New England hosts other flea markets with a high-tech spin, but this one has a reputation for drawing the rare and obscure. Some credit it to the market's location, surrounded by MIT and technology companies around Boston, whose retired equipment sometimes filters down to the sale tables. People will bring surplus runs from production at some facility which dumped a project, and you'll find resistors that cost big bucks being sold for a dime apiece. The Swapfest has a charter explicitly barring it from becoming a general flea market. Читать дальше...

Officers wearing black riot gear ringed the stadium, and police on bicycles lined up wheel-to-wheel to surround the protesters — demonstrating after the shooting death last week of a man by a Charlotte-Mecklenburg police officer. When the national anthem was played, the protesters all dropped to one knee as many NFL players have been doing for weeks to call more attention to issues including police shootings.
