...Microsoft Research, started in 1991 as the first of its kind corporate computer science research lab, may well be more dynamic than any university computer science department. That's the way Rick Rashid, the senior VP in charge who was a professor at Carnegie Mellon, designed it . "For me basic research has to be first and foremost about moving the state of the art forward in computer science. We publish in peer reviewed journals just like professors so that our research is subject to the same purity of process that a university would have," says Rashid. "It's not about...
...sanatorium's gardens or at the nearby beach. Naturally, at these prices you'll have to jettison some preconceptions. At Aurora, there are no teakwood salas staffed by smiling, sarong-clad maidens bearing ginger tea. Instead, the babushkas who greet you will show the way to clean but basic accommodation that still has the faint whiff of an institution hanging over it, despite a recent face-lift. The solution is to lie back and think of the bragging potential - your friends may have done chakra balancing in Bhutan, or chromotherapy in Bali, but Kyrgyzstan? If there's any other dissonant...
...complex, interweaving demands of exploring Harvard for the first time. Those who argue that freshmen advising is too complex or too large a task to saddle upon those currently involved in planning study breaks, either underestimate the capabilities of eager Harvard students or overestimate the difficulty of providing basic directional advice—explaining the difference between Ec1010 and Ec1011, where to find departmental advising—to freshmen who currently lack it. The training for such a position is expected to be rigorous; it needs to be if the program is to succeed. But upperclassmen have proven themselves receptive...
...Shaggy Dog” is a neo-Disney butchery of a vintage-Disney classic. For the sake of formality, here’s the basic plot: Dave Douglas’ (Allen) new dog bites him, and through the miracles of pseudo-science Douglas periodically turns into a sheepdog. Oh yeah, and this whole spontaneous metamorphosis thing has put the kibosh on his familial relationships, but it’s all too shallow to be interesting...
...most basic level, the treaty rewards India despite its poor record over the last several decades—including its first nuclear test in 1974, the detonations that spawned sanctions from the U.S. in 1998, and the fact that they never adhered to the NPT. India became a nuclear power acting alone, failing to join or adhere to a pact aimed at ensuring peaceful nuclear development. Through this agreement, the U.S. is tacitly but effectively aiding India, despite its longstanding defiance of the NPT, to develop a better and stronger military nuclear program. Iran and North Korea could not have...
