...recommendations made in December by the Task Force on the Arts, a committee that she commissioned in the first months of her presidency.The Task Force’s report called for increased art production in the curriculum and a greater presence for art on campus.“Arts abound at Harvard,” Faust said, noting that nearly half of all extracurricular activities at the University are dedicated to the arts. But she said that Harvard has separated art production from theory and criticism for too long. “It is time to recognize that arts practice...
...laws of mathematics were “invented” by mathematicians. Reaching back to the sixth century B.C., Livio uses Pythagoras, Plato, and Archimedes to demonstrate that there is an intimate relationship between the most basic arithmetic and much more complicated and inaccessible abstract logic. Revelations abound, from the logical basis for counting, to the foundation of prime numbers, and the Pythagorean Theorem. But there are an equal number of instances where Livio’s explanations fall short, such as when he discusses knots or how gravity operates in the solar system. In these cases, Livio loses himself...
...pucks gotta take work where they can get it. Meanwhile, blindingly painful imagery—probably lifted from the iTunes visualizer—provides a psychedelic backdrop. Band members teleport in and out, occasionally popping back into view wearing superhero outfits and other goofy costumes. Silly hats abound (sombreros!). Sometimes band members’ instruments and places are usurped by football players, or hot chicks (strippers!), or uniformed police officers. This never results in any drop-off in musical quality.

...federal judges will likely take a dim view of the manner in which many of the detainees were captured and how they were treated at Gitmo. Tricky legal questions abound. For instance, what to do about detainees who confessed under torture? One case sure to be complicated is that of Mohammed al-Qahtani, who allegedly helped plan the 9/11 attacks - he is sometimes described as the "20th hijacker." Bush Administration officials now admit that he was tortured, and Susan Crawford, the retired judge who is the convening authority of the military commissions, has refused to refer al-Qahtani's case...
...take to the high seas instead. There may be no better measure of the reach, depth and potential duration of the global economic slowdown than the fast-sinking fortunes of the shipping industry. From the historic docks of Rotterdam to China's booming trading hub of Ningbo, troubling symptoms abound. The Baltic Dry Index, which tracks the cost of shipping raw materials, has plummeted from an all-time high of 11,793 last May to below 800, a 22-year low. The daily rental rate for the largest bulk carriers plunged from $234,000 last summer to less than...
