...problem:” first, that students have “a tendency…to regard their extracurricular life as separate from their academic experience,” and second, that “few formal procedures” exist for faculty to encourage students to connect the two. The first is not entirely true, and the second is not entirely a problem.Overlap between extracurriculars and academics already exists. Harvard offers a host of pseudo-academic activities from the Institute of Politics to research labs. It is no coincidence that government and social studies concentrators dominate the ranks...
...that do use social context to frame scientific teaching, there is much to be said for releasing more advanced students from the frustrations of taking introductory courses. Moreover, ambitious students should be encouraged, not discouraged, to take more advanced pure science courses. A class need not explicitly discuss connections to society in order to provide students with useful knowledge. A basic understanding of DNA, genes, and cellular mechanics, for example, is critical to understanding cancer research and the stem cell debate. We are confident that students are bright enough to consider the relevant connections even if the course doesn?...
...Slingbox Pro is the new flagship in the Slingbox family, which also includes the Slingbox AV, which handles basic cable and any non-HD video from set-top boxes and other video sources, and the Slingbox Tuner, which doesn?t work with a set-top box, but rather connects directly to the cable sticking out of the wall for less mess, but also less flexibility. Both the Tuner and the Pro have pass-through capability so, in most cases, you can leave it connected to your setup without disrupting your at-home viewing. You must connect the Slingbox...
...dislike the veil.

Of course not. I detested how wobbly the veil made my beliefs feel, and I trashed it on my flight...
Harvard’s last non-conference game of the season was the setting of its most lackluster offensive performance. Junior quarterback Chris Pizzotti completed only 17 of his 40 pass attempts for 210 yards, throwing just one interception but coming dangerously close at least once more. He did connect on two touchdowns, however, and together with another typically strong effort from Clifton Dawson and a defense that gave up just 240 total yards, it was enough for the Crimson to win handily...
