...city of 1.5 million, a sprawl of strip malls and cinder-block and tin-roofed buildings just south of San Diego, is fighting back. Last month, the city's tourism office launched a new 120th anniversary tourism campaign: "120 Things To Do in Tijuana." (See pictures of fighting crime in Mexico City...
...messengers and the pros. The street riders' pre-race diet is often beer instead of energy drinks. It was also an alien locale. The race, part of this year's Harlem Rocks 35th Annual Skyscraper Cycling Classic, was held in Marcus Garvey Park, up by Fifth Avenue and 120th Street. Many bike messengers rarely travel above 100th Street since most of their business keeps them downtown.

And the Hubble can see ultraviolet and infrared light, which the atmosphere blocks. Ultimately, says Mackay, "we're not competing with the Hubble. We're simply trying to provide an alternate for when...
...Come check us out.” CLARIFICATION: The April 3 news article "HMS, HBS Keep Top Rankings" did not fully contextualize remarks made by David Mattos '09, president of the Harvard Pre-Medical Society. When he said that "you wouldn't want to go to the 120th-ranked school," Mattos was referring to a perception held by students who rely heavily on the rankings instead of inspecting schools in person. Additionally, the article implied that Mattos had listed Harvard Medical School as his top-choice institution, when in fact he only said it would be a school he would...
