BOSTON — One of six Harvard Medical School researchers sickened after drinking coffee laced with a toxic chemical said Monday he does not see how the poi- soning could have been accidental, but has no idea who might be responsible. University police and other agencies are inves- tigating the Aug. 26 poi- sonings, which were revealed in an internal memo to medical-school faculty last week. The memo identified the sub- stance as sodium azide, a common preservative used in school labs, but it did not indicate whether officials believed the laced coffee to be acciden- tal or intentional. “I always thought it was a deliberate substance added to the coffee,” said Matteo Iannacone, a post- doctoral fellow. “It was too strange for me to be an accident,” he told the Associated Press in an interview Monday. Iannacone said he immediately noticed a “weird” taste after sipping an espresso he poured from a coffee machine in an eighth-floor lounge near his research lab. After taking a second sip to make sure he wasn’t imagining the foul taste, he began feeling dizziness and a rapid heartbeat, but he said the symptoms passed quickly. Two of the researchers who drank coffee earlier in the day had fainted, but officials did not immediate- ly connect their illnesses to the coffee machine, Ianna- cone said. An ambulance carried Iannacone to nearby Brigham and Women’s Hospital for treatment. Doctors could find nothing wrong, he said. Iannacone said universi- ty officials privately told him the results of toxicolo- gy tests last week. Daniel G. Ennis, executive dean for administration, and Richard M. Shea, associate dean for physical planning and facilities, later sent the internal memo to Harvard Medical School faculty. “As the investigation continues, we are being prudent and taking addi- tional precautionary measures to ensure the well being of our commu- nity,” the memo said. Among the steps being taken was installation of additional security cam- eras in buildings and “strengthening security systems that manage access to the laboratories during both normal busi- ness hours and off hours,” according to the memo. Iannacone said he was unaware of any threats against the school and did not know of any controver- sial research that might have made the facility or any of its researchers potential targets.

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2009 Hawks laud Stanzi

Ricky Stanzi FOOTBALL Stanzi an O’Brien Award semifinalist On Monday, Iowa junior quarterback Ricky Stanzi was recognized as one of 15 semifi- nalists for the Davey O’Brien Award, which is given annually to the top quarterback in col- lege football. Among the other semifi- nalists on this list include Penn State’s Daryll Clark, Notre Dame’s Jimmy Clausen, Miami’s Jacory Harris, Texas’ Colt McCoy, and Florida’s Tim Tebow. Through eight games this season, Stanzi has thrown for 1,715 yards passing and 12 touchdowns. The Mentor, Ohio, native has also guided the Hawkeyes to an unscathed 8-0 mark two-thirds into the regu- lar season. The winner of this year’s Davey O’Brien Award will be announced on Dec. 10 along with the rest of college foot- ball’s annual awards. Two pre- vious Iowa quarterbacks — Chuck Long in 1985 and Brad Banks in 2002 — have received the honor. — by Brendan Stiles BASKETBALL JULIE KOEHN/THE DAILY IOWAN Iowa quarterback Ricky Stanzi and head coach Kirk Ferentz wait for the verdict on whether Northern Iowa would get a second attempt at kicking a field goal with one second Hawkeye great left durng the Hawkeyes’ home opener against UNI on Sept. 5 at Kinnick Stadium.
