Another approach--one that's a bit of a constitutional bank shot--is to rely on the 14th Amendment's requirement of a due-process hearing before the state denies an inmate a "liberty interest," something courts define as a reasonable expectation of a freedom or right. People confined to prison have few liberty interests left and thus have little ground to challenge assignment to a strict level of security. Confinement to supermax, however, may be so qualitatively different that it does require a hearing. That's the argument Ohio inmates made in 2005, and that's the argument...
Matching up with reigning America East rookie of the year Mike Trimboli, Housman repeatedly slashed to the paint in erupting for a career-high 25 points in Harvard’s 84-76 road victory against battle-tested Vermont, a team that trumped then-14th-ranked Boston College on the road earlier in the season. Housman streaked for 16 points after halftime, including a crucial acrobatic layup in traffic with 1:53 left in overtime to stake Harvard to a 76-71 lead and all but seal the victory...
...Oracle Bones Peter Hessler Archaeologists call them "oracle bones," the turtle shells and cattle shoulder blades dating from the 13th and 14th centuries B.C. that bear China's first known writing-mostly prophecies.

I try and juxtapose the old with the new, all united by a common narrative thread,” he says. This narrative thread will link a 14th-century German carol, 17th-century English carol, and pieces by Mozart and Mendelsohn with such contemporary compositions as Jonathan Dove’s setting of “The Three Kings” and Stephen Paulus’s “Pilgrim Jesus.” The Plummer Professor of Christian...
...Hampshire passed the puck around, then shot it toward net. Harvard’s Christina Kessler, who had 33 saves overall, was screened from seeing the puck, which slipped past her for Hitchcock’s second goal of the game. Martine Garland and Sadie Wright-Ward got their 14th and 15th assists on the play.“I was screened,” Kessler said. “I caught a glimpse of it, but it wasn’t enough to keep it from going in.”Although the final period saw a push from...
