...fell on Nov. 8 in a 6-1 demolition of Columbia. He now has 97 points and 27 assists in his already-historic career. Harvard’s 2008 season may have come to a close last Tuesday in a 2-1 loss to No. 8 University of South Florida, but now the team has something to root for in the upcoming weeks. The semifinalists were named Saturday, and three finalists will be chosen Friday, Dec. 12. The winner will be announced four weeks later on Friday Jan. 9. Past recipients of the Hermann Trophy include American soccer-greats Claudio...
...ever confused Myron Rolle for an average college student. For one thing, the 6'2" safety at Florida State has NFL scouts drooling; for another, he's already earned his pre-med degree in two-and-a-half years. But his itinerary last weekend was particularly extraordinary. On Nov. 22, the Seminoles' safety jetted off to Birmingham, Ala., where he sat for a final interview for the Rhodes Scholarship, generally viewed as the country's most prestigious.

He and I have grown very close. He helped me through the Rhodes application process - he would send me text messages every day with interview prep questions - and has mentored me with how to deal with the media. If I have a question about females, he'll give me advice. He's somebody who I trust, respect, admire. Then there's Bill Bradley. He played basketball at Princeton, played for the Knicks...
...boxes made of wood and often lined with tin. According to Dupont, which later invented the coolant Freon, ice was harvested where it formed naturally - including from New York City's rivers - and shipped to the South, all in the name of food storage. In the 1840s, a Florida physician named John Gorrie, trying to cool the rooms where patients were suffering from yellow fever, figured out how to make ice using mechanical refrigeration, paving the way for household refrigerators that appeared in American homes en masse in the 1920s and 1930s. It wasn't a moment too soon...
