...daily paper than a daily magazine aimed directly at Handelsblad's lost generation of rich young readers. At one euro, the skinny NRC Next is only two-thirds the price of Handelsblad, but it looks and feels way cooler - the paper it's printed on, for instance, is slightly heavier. "Readers have got to feel that this is better than Holland's four free dailies - better even than Handelsblad - or this isn't going to work," says Nijenhuis...
...interesting findings had to do with weight. Many of the twin pairs were of similar weight, but differences in how old they looked began to appear when one had a body mass index (BMI) at least four points higher than the twin sibling. For twin pairs under 40, the heavier one looked significantly older. But surprisingly, after 40, that same four-point difference in BMI made the heavier twin look significantly younger.

...Crimson senior Evan Harris was effective with eight points in his first game back from a knee injury, but Harvard’s pair of freshman forwards found little success on the offensive end. Forced to defend taller and heavier players, Peter Boehm showed spirit but had a cold shooting night, making only one triple in seven attempts.

What a pernicious example at a moment when workers are already anxious...
That's made it easier for Chávez to use a heavier hand with the students - as have recent videos that appear to show some students allegedly transporting and preparing Molotov cocktails, in one instance igniting a small forest fire in a national park. (The students insist the fire was started by a police tear-gas canister, and that police had planted homemade bombs in one of their trucks.) "They want to provoke us onto the road of violence," Chávez told a crowd of supporters in western Venezuela this week, suggesting the students are "desperate" to have...
