...wife would serve tea out of a silver teapot. Naddaff’s freshman seminar brought her into the upperclassman House at a time when women still lived in the Radcliffe Quadrangle.Today, over 30 years later, the small-group experience of a freshman seminar still stands in stark contrast to first-year schedules otherwise inundated with large introductory lecture courses in a crowded Sanders Theatre or the Science Center.Now the director of the Freshman Seminar Program and Mather House master, Nadaff says her firsthand experience as a student and instructor in the program has demonstrated to her the importance...
...there are reasons that stimulant maintenance treatment was not initially studied more extensively. For one, high doses of amphetamines can cause brain damage, psychosis, heart attack and stroke. (High doses of opioids like methadone, in contrast, can also be dangerous, but once a patient develops a tolerance to them, even very high doses of the drugs are not toxic.) The consequences of high-dose use are important, since addicts in treatment often try at least once to use illegal drugs "on top" of their maintenance drug. So far, however, studies of dexamphetamine and similar drugs have not revealed major safety...
...legal drinking age was lowered from 21 to 18 in many states in the 1970s and then raised again nationally through the 1984 Minimum Purchase Age Act-two significant policy shifts that have enabled scientists to contrast effects on alcohol-related deaths.

...cameras are different in a few fundamental ways. The Mino has 4 GB of built-in memory--enough for about an hour of video--but it's not expandable via external memory cards. By contrast, Kodak expects you to bring your own memory card to the Zi6. (It costs about $30 for 4 GB, closing the price gap with the Mino.) To recharge the Mino's built-in battery, which lasts about two hours, you can plug the camcorder into your computer via the USB port. The Zi6 uses rechargeable AA batteries or, in a pinch, nonrechargeable ones, if they...
