The NuTeV anomaly: solved?

The NuTeV extraction of the Weinberg angle is reported to differ by 3 sigma from measurements at the Z pole. We review various effects within the Standard Model, and conclude that corrections from these effects bring the NuTeV measurement within 1 sigma of the expected result.
