...meantime, Lohan's sway with audiences is waning, says Steve Levitt, president of Marketing Evaluations Inc./The Q Scores Company, a firm which evaluates celebrities for marketers. "This is a sad case of a young celebrity who can't get out of her own way and is losing her appeal," says Levitt. In a February 2007 study, Lohan's negative ratings among consumers were four times her positive ones. For a star most beloved by young girls, the bad girl behavior turns off parents, as well as potential business partners. "Really, who wants to take a chance?" says Levitt...
...years, and, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will break under the ever-chugging legs of Clifton Dawson when Harvard (7-1, 4-1 Ivy) faces Penn (4-4, 2-3 Ivy) this Saturday at Franklin Field in Philadelphia.But, in 1996, the 58 yards that former Cornell running back Chad Levitt needed to eclipse the all-time mark—an arm’s length over the course of a career—remained, and rather than a broken record, his season and career ended with a broken right arm.The record, 4,715 yards, was set by Cornell?...
...take a lot more research to tease out its true significance. Meanwhile, it's hard to say just what those correlations measure. "How do you know, for instance, that it's not mold or mildew in the counties that have a lot of rain?" says Vanderbilt University geneticist Pat Levitt. How do you know, for that matter, that as counties get more cable access, they don't also get more pediatricians scanning for autism? Easterbrook, although intrigued by the study, concedes that it could be indoor-air quality rather than television that exerts an influence. Moreover, says Drexel University epidemiologist...
...week also brought a more definitive--though less splashy--finding on the causes of autism, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science. A team led by Vanderbilt's Levitt found that a fairly common gene variation--one that's present in 47% of the population--is associated with an increased risk of autism. People with two copies of the gene have twice the average risk of autism. Those with one copy face a slightly increased risk. The gene is intriguing because it codes for a protein that's active not only in the brain--the organ most...
