...Such results make it difficult to know for sure whether the risks of abnormally high or abnormally low levels of glucose are more dangerous for diabetes patients who land in the hospital with a heart attack and high blood sugar levels. "It's a moving target," says Nathan. "But we are winning the battle. It's been an incredibly exciting several decades in diabetes research, but a lot more work needs to be done. We know what we need to do, we just need to apply what we learn better - to the right patients at the right time...
What's new is that the CSIC study, co-authored by Marta Ribes and Rafel Coma, suggests the phenomenon doesn't just occur on land. By focusing on the Gorgonia, one of the most emblematic and significant corals in the Mediterranean, Ribes and Coma have found that seas have their seasons, too - and with equally dire effects. Between 1974 and 2006, summer conditions in the Mediterranean expanded by 40%, meaning the season has grown on average one day longer each year. For the Gorgonia and other sensitive suspension invertebrates - the term refers to the organisms' habit of feeding on particles...
...over right? Even some students who hail from the land of 10,000 lakes think it should be. “I think that’s over now right? Didn’t Coleman concede that?” Says Richard Liu ’11. Not so fast.

The Eisenhower Administration responded by imposing trade restrictions on everything except food and medical supplies. Decrying "Yankee imperialism," Castro expanded trade with the Soviet Union instead. The U.S. responded by cutting all diplomatic ties, and the two countries have been talking through Switzerland ever since. President Kennedy issued the permanent embargo on Feb. 7, 1962 - right after ordering a shipment of 1,200 Cuban cigars...
...benighted past. The leftist former priest, who had worked among Paraguay's poorest as a bishop, toppled the seemingly omnipotent Colorado Party, the political base of the country's 19th and 20th century dictators like General Alfredo Stroessner. Lugo has since pushed for essential measures like land reform. What Paraguay is getting instead, at least for the moment, is "a telenovela," says respected investigative journalist Mabel Rehnfeldt of the newspaper ABC in the capital, Asunción. Yet she predicts the scandal will not damage Lugo's presidency too badly - for reasons that reflect both Latin America's machismo...
