...Cornbrooks. Princeton’s Scott Sowanick is among the North players after the Tigers failed to make the quarterfinals of the NCAA tournament for just the third time in the last eighteen years. Princeton fell 9-8 to Georgetown in the tournament’s opening round. Notably absent from the game will be players from Cornell, which is still in the running for the national title. —THE CRIMSON STAFF
...trip ends in the stillness of faux orbit where the payload bays open to reveal a state-of-the-art graphic of Earth in a stunning view very few people have ever seen firsthand. Air sickness bags are conspicuously absent. Unlike an astronaut-training simulator or other virtual reality systems which allow multiple degrees of stomach-turning motion - forward and backward, up and down, side to side, pitch, roll and yaw - this simulator only allows for pitch. But in clever combination with a powerful Buttkicker audio system, which lets riders feel sound, strong vibrations, timed seat compressions and video cues...
...where are the office pop songs? Rock music has never lacked for zillionaires to romanticize farmhands and factory workers.

As far as songwriters are concerned, the Dilberts of the world can buy their MP3s, but they can't have...
...little different. Sebastian says the goal was to grow up—to make the articles more serious than last time, more carefully researched.

...focused, since 1990, on ensuring that children receive their basic immunizations during their first five years of life. The Ministry of Health and Population reports that 97% of infants today are vaccinated against tuberculosis, pertussis, polio, measles, diphtheria and tetanus. Polio, once considered endemic in Egypt, is now largely absent. And campaigns against diarrhea-related diseases have been very effective, using television to reach the most remote rural areas with simple advice on combating diarrhea and dehydration. "This national campaign targeting specific causes of infant mortality was highly effective and was globally recognized," says Magdi El Sanadi, UNICEF Egypt...
