...over the previous three months - were below 7%, the standard cutoff for what is considered controlled blood sugar. But "we don't know for sure if people with A1C levels under 7% still need to be on drugs," says Greene. "The research just hasn't answered that question yet." Recent studies suggest that using blood-sugar-controlling medication even among the 57 million Americans who have prediabetes - meaning they have elevated, but not dangerously high blood sugar and are at very high risk of developing diabetes - may prevent the development of heart disease and stroke...
...September 10, religion guru Harvey Cox will be the first Hollis Professor of Divinity in recent memory to exercise his bovine grazing rights. Research shows that his position—the oldest endowed chair in the history of higher education in the U.S.—apparently came with grazing rights in Harvard Yard. For the cows, of course...
...recent U.S. takeout of Taliban big cheese Baitullah Mehsud has predictably fired up these drone proponents, who see it as a clear-cut success story and a case for upping the number of UAVs.

Pakistanis decry U.S. counterterrorist strikes in their country as a “violation of sovereignty” (apparently, contracting out assassination missions to third parties isn?...

It’s hard to think of a more bizarre and troubling contradiction than shutting down the number of torture programs while stepping up the number of remote-control executions. Keeping our own boys safe is a laudable goal, but not if it comes at the cost...
Many energetic students volunteer in developing countries to make an impact on less privileged communities. Some bring back glorious stories of success, while others come back in frustration. After a recent humanitarian research project, I have come to appreciate the value of the frustrating experiences. These experiences provide subtle, et important clues as to why many developing communities stagnate in poverty. I believe it is the failure to understand these less obvious driving forces of poverty that cause even giant organizations like the International Monetary Fund and World Bank to fail in major development projects. But most importantly, these experiences...
