...Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins, the participants of the Finnish study were cigarette smokers, and may have suffered more oxidative damage in their cells than the average person. If smoking had caused excessive damage to their cells, then they would be more likely to benefit from any antioxidant effects provided by the vitamin supplements. In other words, perhaps people with lower levels of the vitamin in their blood to start - whether or not it was due to smoking - might benefit more. Nelson's own work in a smaller study in Baltimore suggests this might be true...
...popular Buffalo Mayor Byron Brown, an African-American Democrat who could win over liberal voters in New York City. (Brown garnered 6% overall in the Marist poll and 10% among upstate voters.) State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, besides polling even with Kennedy in the Marist survey, offers Paterson another benefit. The "accidental" governor - who replaced Eliot Spitzer after his resignation amid a highly publicized sex scandal - will have to run for his own office in 2010, and Cuomo could be a formidable challenger in the Democratic primary. A Senate seat would presumably remove him from a potential gubernatorial...

Despite its current advantage, the Flores-McLeod ticket has not yet sought to mobilize student group support in its campaign beyond the initial endorsement statements e-mailed to group members, according to interviews with student group leaders. In the past, student groups have...
...Even if a student doesn’t become close friends with his or her co-workers, he or she would still benefit from the exposure to the daily lives of a broad cross-section of a foreign society. Demographics in a university or college tend not to reflect the demographics of a society at large. This is more significant in poorer countries where the university population tends to include more and more of the upper classes. However, all universities are unnaturally homogenous with respect to age. In the workplace, your boss, your receptionist, and your colleagues would...
