Today's Globe: Caritas setback, Nantucket teen suicides, cloned animals
The top candidate to head Caritas Christi Health Care System has taken a job with a Pennsylvania healthcare system, delivering a setback to turnaround efforts at the Archdiocese of Boston's hospital chain. Dr. Christopher T. Olivia, chief executive of Cooper University Hospital in Camden, N.J., will become chief executive of West Penn Allegheny Health System of Pittsburgh.
The deaths of three high school students have left Nantucket residents and mental health officials trying to figure out the reasons behind the spate of youth suicides that has struck Massachusetts in the past decade - and how to prevent them in the future.
Cloned cows, pigs, goats, and their offspring are safe to enter the US food supply, regulators said over protests from lawmakers, consumer groups, and worried eaters.

I have known Dr. Folkman for many years. He was always full of ideas, he was an amazing lecturer that had a rare capacity to infect his audience with enthusiasm and he was the father of the angiogenesis field. However, above all I will remember him as a human being who was always ready to help and support, be it on scientific or on personal problems.
His memory will always be with me.
