...clinical trial had significantly better outcomes on the drug. In the efficacy group, 52% responded to Celexa vs. 40% of the nonefficacy group. Patients in the latter group also took longer to respond and had to be readmitted to psychiatric settings more often. "Thus," the authors conclude, "current efficacy trials suggest a more optimistic outcome than is likely in practice, and the duration of adequate treatment suggested by data from efficacy trials may be too short...
...geographic cluster of like-minded Googlers could represent a burgeoning outbreak or, worse, the roots of a new pandemic. (In the case of H1N1, however, the distant and initially small number of cases in the U.S. meant the search service wasn't very helpful in predicting the current epidemic, but the strategy may prove useful in keeping track of the disease's progression.) (See TIME's photo gallery "Google Earth Adds Historical Photos...
Where Google Flu Trends may prove more useful, however, is in the tracking of an epidemic once it is under way. If the current H1N1 outbreak were to worsen and start to spread more quickly, then Google's system may be able to keep pace with it and alert health officials immediately as the problem grows. "If the disease starts spreading in a particular area, for example, and affects thousands of people, then we hope that our system would detect that within 24 hours," says Ginsberg. The idea would be to catch the rise in cases before too many people...
...more bluntly, Harvard has the largest university endowment in the world, and it should not be afraid of using this capital to sustain itself during the current recession. Perhaps the deans and the Corporation should release more endowment money to schools like FAS in order to ensure that budget cuts can be made without layoffs. Right now, the FAS budget deficit of $220 million comes directly from an eight percent decrease in endowment money being funneled into FAS. Although it would be unsustainable over the long term, Harvard could dip further into its endowment over the next year...
...Current President Martin Torrijos - the son of the late Panamanian strongman Brigadier General Omar Torrijos, who got the U.S. in 1977 to sign the treaty that eventually gave the canal to Panama - has pushed through some anticorruption reforms. But scandals have persisted. Herrera's campaign had to fight allegations that it received financing from a Colombian national now in prison in Bogotá on charges of alleged extortion, money laundering and drug trafficking in exchange for political favors. (It didn't help Herrera when it was disclosed that while he was staying in Panama, the Colombian, David Murcia, had employed...
