When Jonathan S. Brito ’10 approaches you in his DHAs, the first word that comes to mind is “jock.” With a solid frame and confident walk, Brito looks more likely to spend his day carbo-loading for a track and field meet than working through abstract math problem sets in the library. Ask him to explain “A Universal Degree Bound for Rings of Invariants of n Point Configurations Modulo Torus Actions,” and that stereotype quickly disappears. But his understanding of the theorem shouldn?...
...Valkin. This one-two punch delivers some extra ‘umph’ during Passover thanks to matza. “It’s really funny to go to pre-meal dinners with the team,” Valkin said. “Everyone’s carbo-loading, and Scott and I are eating matza and potatoes.” He added that, “Sometimes, at the end of the week, you get a bit tired.” Denenberg recalled the Passover of his freshman year, when two matches toward the end of Passover...
...ears back. In the six years since its last overseas tour, the orchestra has been largely confined to the acoustically murky Sydney Opera House. By contrast, "Japan is full of fine concert halls," says violinist Dene Olding. "They make quite a science of the acoustics." Indeed, baritone soloist Jos? Carbo says he has never sung on a better stage than Tokyo's. "It was such a crisp, true rebound," he raves. With singing, he explains, "it's the monitoring of what you're hearing that molds what's coming out of your mouth. In halls where you're not getting...
...getting closer all the time. Or so it appears from five floors up a tiny lift at Diva, a karaoke bar in central Osaka that seems little bigger than a shoebox. It's way past midnight following the orchestra's final concert, and the beer is flowing?as is Carbo's voice: "My, my, my, Delilah!" The reverb might be less than crystal-clear tonight, but that doesn't stop the high emotion from bouncing back. Yet even though the room is filled with musicians and an opera star, two gatecrashers steal the show. A platinum-haired English teacher...
Then again, what if you decide to stick with your negative behaviors like smoking, drinking and carbo-loading? The author offers practical, safe advice for dodging the bullet as long as possible. "Many of my patients don't want to know how to live a healthy life," says Clayton. "They want to know how to live their unhealthy lives better." So the good doc instructs the reader on how to minimize the risks: Quitting smoking by the time you're 30 mitigates almost all of the damage from smoking; taking a dose of 1600 IUs of extract of prickly pear...
