...feel sorry for these students, as it seems unlikely that Kaplan will open a branch in Ramallah anytime soon. While I expect that Harvard’s international admissions standards take into account their hardship—they stop short of setting a minimum required score on the Test of English as a Foreign Language, for instance—qualified applicants from troubled environments cannot hope for anything resembling the leniency shown to Ben-Eze, who apparently was guaranteed admission so long as he could raise his ‘Academic Index’ to the bare minimum tolerated...
...half to polish off the six-goal run, putting Harvard up 10-3 at the half. Quinnipiac busted out of the gate in the second half when Valentine connected with Meghan Latonick to slip one past Martino just 1:30 into the frame. The Bobcats continued to test the Crimson’s defense, as Quinnipiac notched four unanswered nets—including three free-position shots—in the first 13 minutes against Martino.

The Iraqi colleagues who have come to collect me laugh and joke as we drive; there's none of the nervous anxiety of previous trips. There are some Iraqi security forces along the road, but I see no American patrols...
...findings may in the end offer more cost-saving potential - and raise more interesting questions - in developed nations, including the U.S., where medical costs have spiraled upward in the last two decades.

...reality is that some developing countries spend as little as $30 a year per person in health care costs; the rich world spends thousands. For patients in low- and middle-income countries, meaningful costs also include the cost of taking time off work to take the test, then traveling back to the clinic for the results. For those reasons, the World Health Organization's current guidelines for assessing cardiovascular disease risk where lab resources are scarce have already dropped the cholesterol testing...
