...year-old J-term is currently under scrutiny, the faculty delicately characterize the problem as “J-term culture,” which is “defined by student expectations of low workload.” Granted, this culture suits some Middlebury professors just fine; in a Jan. 26 Crimson op-ed, Middlebury professor Murray Dry endorsed his school’s winter term as “an academic change of pace...
...experiments that put that theory to rest--and nailed down the presence of water for good--were largely conducted on one 10-in.-high, 65-ft.-wide rock outcropping in the Meridiani Planum that mission scientists dubbed El Capitan. The surface of the formation is made up of fine layers--called parallel laminations--that are often laid down by minerals settling out of water. The rock is also randomly pitted with cavities called vugs that are created when salt crystals form in briny water and then fall out or dissolve away...

For centuries, classical music has been an art form that reveres its old masters, those gifted few like Vladimir Horowitz, Yehudi Menuhin and Pablo Casals whose performances, like fine wine, improve with age. And as musicians train their muscles for ever longer careers, an unprecedented number of older talents reign on the concert scene. While prodigies as young as 6 draw crowds with their youthful showmanship, many of music's eldest statesmen are over 80--and still playing their best...
