...scientifically unsound to draw general conclusions from her study, says Nebeling, but some experts, such as Boston College's Thomas Seyfried, say it's still a remarkable achievement. Seyfried has long called for clinical trials of low-carb, high-fat diets against cancer, and has been trying to push research in the field with animal studies: His results suggest that mice survive cancers, including brain cancer, much longer when put on high-fat diets, even longer when the diets are also calorie-restricted. "Clinical studies are highly warranted," he says, attributing the lack of human studies to the medical establishment...

"There are many people that think that Senator McCain is going to be a formidable candidate, not only because he's taken a middle-of-the-road approach, but because he's positioned to take votes from the Democrats," Gamarra said...
...motivate them to apply early to a school. With the increased time available for recruiting high school students, the admissions office hopes to broaden the Harvard applicant pool by reaching out to schools in low-income areas, Fitzsimmons said. Another goal of eliminating the early admissions programs is to push the application process later into the senior year and extend the high school experience, he said. However, institutions must consider both what is in the public’s best interest and what is in the institution’s best interest when addressing the question of early admissions, Fitzsimmons...
