Harvard had dreams before you came. It dreamt of colonizing Allston with merciless engineering concentrators. It dreamt of building a science center out of stem cells. If you had not shown up, Harvard could have been a colder version of Stanford by now. But you did, Fortuna got angry, and now our red-spiced chicken is a little less spiced...
...find the Higgs boson is to create an environment that mimics the moment post-Big Bang. The powerful LHC runs at up to 7 trillion electron volts (TeV) and sends particles through temperatures colder than deep space at velocities approaching the speed of light. (The second most powerful particle accelerator, at Fermilab in Illinois, runs at 1 TeV.) The added juice allows scientists to get closer to the high energy that existed after the Big Bang. And high energies are needed, because the Higgs is thought to be quite heavy. (In Einstein's famous equation E=MC2, C represents...
...Cambridge felt the first rays of spring this past weekend, the Harvard women’s water polo team received a colder welcome in Indianapolis at the Elite Eight Tournament, where the Crimson (8-5) dropped its first two matches against Maryland (8-5) and No. 20 Princeton (7-3) on Saturday. Things warmed up as Harvard rebounded yesterday, defeating Bucknell (5-5) in overtime after having lost to the Bison last weekend...
Weather has also been one of the big stories here. Cypress Mountain, which hosts the half-pipe and mogul skiing events, is so barren of snow the white stuff had to be trucked in from the colder reaches of the Great White North. At Whistler, it's been raining at the bottom of the mountain, which washed away the schedules for the men's downhill and the women's super combined events. In Olympic events, you ski to the bottom of the hill, and the bottom was slushy. (See TIME's full coverage of Vancouver...
...does it feel like the colder it gets at Harvard, the more House dining halls close their giant wooden doors on poor hungry non-residents? Winthrop has just joined the ranks of Adams, Eliot, Kirkland, Leverett, Lowell, and Quincy by instituting dining hall restrictions. Life for quadlings and other wanderers has just gotten a little bit worse...
