...they were overworked and could not handle the immense volume of meals.Regardless of why they are imposed, these restrictions are necessary for two reasons. First, Harvard runs 14 dining halls because dining halls are the focal point of House life. They create a sense of community that would not exist in their absence. When dining halls are overrun with other students on a regular basis, House community suffers. Second, part of the convenience of the House system is having a readily accessible and conveniently located dining hall. Students who live in a House should not have trouble getting food...
...percent Hispanic American, 3.1 percent Mexican American, 19.9 percent Asian American, and 1.1 percent Native American composition of the 2008 class and pats itself on the shoulder for recognizing diversity. However, the site doesn’t show the number of mixed race students or recognize that they even exist on campus. The college is clearly overlooking a significant minority within the minority—the multiracial students. Though our society has long assumed that everyone identifies with one race, America is making strides towards acknowledging racial complexities.

...Department briefing this spring for the nation's governors on potential future international conflicts, Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer was intrigued by one war scenario. In the hypothetical case, conflict with an oil-exporting nation interrupted U.S. petroleum supplies and forced reliance on alternative energy sources that have yet to exist.

Bethlehem Steel eventually filed for bankruptcy, and the PBGC took over its pension plans--which were short $3.7 billion. The company, once America's second largest steelmaker, no longer exists. In the Top 50 pension deadbeats of 1990, the PBGC reported that the funds of Pan Am Corp., operator of what was once the premier global airline, had only one-third of the assets needed to pay its promised pensions. Pan Am does not exist today...
...begin making hydrogen gas, which can be captured in fuel cells and converted into electricity. Sounds cool, but what's it good for, exactly? "We're a couple of years away from showing practical applications," admits Flickinger. "But we're very optimistic about its future." Photo bioreactors already exist in labs, but because they're made from a slurry of bacteria and liquid that needs to be stirred constantly, they are inefficient and expensive. Flickinger's paint concept needs nothing more than waste carbon sources, sunshine and a thin coating of highly concentrated microbes. For the moment, more fundamental scientific...
