Surge in Middle East studies as students seek insight
Northeastern University sophomore Melissa Danforth shifted from casual view of the Middle East to deep interest after the Sept. 11 attacks. She fought to join a full Arab-Israeli conflict course and won a seat when the class moved to a larger room. Across campuses, colleges expand courses on Middle East terrorism and Islam to meet demand from students.

Study Finds Higher Autoimmune Deaths Among Teachers
A University of Connecticut study of 11 years of death certificates finds K 12 teachers have 2.3 percent listing autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis lupus rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's syndrome as a cause of death versus 1.7 percent for other professions. The increased risk is strongest for MS RA lupus and Sjogren's and may relate to environmental triggers and infections. Age 35 to 44 shows higher relative risk, with Epstein Barr virus proposed as one factor, especially in high school teachers. Researchers emphasize correlation not casualty and call for further study.
