    10/17/2003  3:28 AM ET--They had tears in their eyes as they spoke about friends, not just teammates. Baseball players talk about the family inside the clubhouse all the time, but this is a team that lived it like few others in recent memory, hugging their way deep into October.The band of brothers inside the Red Sox clubhouse was hurting as one, feeling pain they'd never felt before at the end of a baseball season like none they'd ever experienced before.After all they'd been through together through an amazing run in 2003, the Red Sox were one big, sad family in...

    NEW YORK (AP) -- Wow, what a shot! Aaron Boone set off bedlam in the Bronx on Thursday night with a leadoff home run in the 11th inning to give the New York Yankees a 6-5 victory over the Boston Red Sox for a trip to the World Series and their 39th American League pennant. New York trailed 4-0 in the fourth inning and 5-2 in the eighth as Roger Clemens made an early exit in what looked to be the final game of his storied career. But the Yankees bounced back, rekindling all those painful memories that have haunted...

    Date: Posted 8/2/2002 1918 Human Influenza Epidemic No Longer Linked To Birds The Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History historic bird collections was critical in determining that the 1918 influenza pandemic that killed 20 million to 40 million people worldwide did not originate from birds, as previously thought. Wild waterfowl collected between 1915 -1919 were tested for the same hemagglutinin (HA) subtype as that of the 1918 pandemic Influenza A virus. The tests concluded the HA genes were different. This research is reported in the August issue of the Journal of Virology. A team of scientists from the Armed Forces...

    A federal judge's ruling that live-fire military training at Farallon de Medinella a tiny speck of coral and scrub near Saipan in the Pacific Ocean violates the 1918 Migratory Bird Treaty Act potentially could halt future bombing or shelling there. This development potentially has serious implications not just for U.S. Pacific Fleet gunners and aviators who use the island to hone their combat skills, but for any other military-training site that hosts migratory birds. Finding on behalf of the plaintiffs the Earthjustice Legal Defense Fund, representing the Center for Biological Diversity ? U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan ruled...
