College financial aid gaps push students to larger loans
Iowa students face rising costs as federal Stafford loans and state grants stay flat since 1992 and 2000 respectively. Tuition at Iowa public universities climbed while debt for graduates grew, with UI ISU and UNI averages ranging from about 19 788 to 24 725. Experts warn future aid may fail to meet need, noting Pell grants and loan mixes affect debt.

Mayo Clinic official calls results provocative as two studies presented in New Orleans show rimonabant helping 20 pounds weight loss in a year and doubling short term smoking cessation rates. Sanofi-Synthelabo backs the research and plans U S approval under Acomplia. The drug blocks the endo cannabinoid system and targets both overweight and smoker populations with seven large trials underway.
