...most outrageous problem with Harvard’s proposal for a building at 224 Western Ave. in Allston is that Harvard planners actually admit they never considered nearby Harvard-owned sites as possible locations for this building (“Officials Face Concerns Over Allston Expansion,” news, Feb. 13). The 224 Western Ave. location has many problems, including a narrow and irregular shape and proximity to several abutting residential properties.

It's like training a boxer, he says. A good program includes running the bird to build stamina (hooded sweatshirt optional), putting the bird in the sun to sweat out grease and develop plumage, and throwing the bird up in the air to build wing strength...

...Alfonso Cuarón with “Children of Men”). Of the three films, “Pan’s Labyrinth” simultaneously has the most childlike thematic material and the most graphic violence. Minimalist-influenced music by composer Javier Navarrete, which builds on the theme of a mother’s lullaby, plays during intense visual depictions of gory births and deaths.

...Harvard women’s ice hockey team wraps up its regular season schedule this weekend at the Bright Hockey Center, and is looking to build momentum as the ECAC tournament approaches. The No. 6 Crimson (19-6-2, 15-4-1 ECAC) rebounded well Tuesday night against Northeastern with a 8-0 shutout victory following a disappointing loss to Colgate last weekend, and now hopes to continue its success as it awaits the arrival of Yale (10-8-2) at 7 p.m. tonight and Brown (6-13-1) at 4 p.m. tomorrow for a pair of key conference home...
