...only be reflected in the total height of the mountain of loans their child accrues—something Harvard should try to prevent at all cost. And there are many “legitimate” reasons why people with a median upper-middle class income might not have liquid assets, including reoccurring medical bills or a large number of dependents. Does that make a family not worthy of financial aid? It is not like Harvard financial aid is operating on a zero-sum basis—more financial aid for the affluent does not mean less for the poor...
...privileged and underprivileged students. Similarly, the decision to stop considering home equity in the calculation that determines a family’s ability to pay—which will cut out an average of $4,000 per year in payments—is a wise one. Houses are not liquid assets, and a family should not be penalized for increases in housing prices that do not affect a family’s short-term financial situation. All in all, this program appears to be one that has been well thought through and will certainly help to increase Harvard?...

"Flat panels turned the television from an eyesore when it's not turned on to an interior-design fashion statement...
...from 55 Cancri, or 20 million miles (32 million km) closer to it than Earth is to the sun. That gives the planet a roughly Earthlike year of 260 days and, more important, puts it in what astronomers call the habitable zone, the distance from its sun at which liquid water can exist. The planet is too dense and gaseous to harbor life as we know it, but if it has any moons, they could be warm enough and wet enough to get biology going...
...thinness. RFID tags are the tiny chips that are replacing bar codes. They wirelessly transmit information about themselves, making it easier to track, say, what's in stock in a store. Battery-powered RFID tags can transmit farther than non-battery-powered versions and push RFID signals through liquid and aluminum cans--two common signal stoppers in supermarkets. The market potential is in the billions if RFID technology expands as predicted...
