...that's not to say a hung Parliament itself wouldn't hit the pound hard. Long viewed as almost certain winners of an election expected in May, the Conservatives have squandered their double-digit lead in recent weeks. In fact, in a YouGov poll published in Britain's Sunday Times on Feb. 28, the Tories' margin over the governing Labour Party had diminished to just two percentage points, raising the specter of no party winning absolute control of Parliament. The problem: Britain has had little practice at coalition government in recent years. Its last attempt - more than 30 years...
Precisely how long it takes before decorum reappears is impossible to say, but simple biology would put it somewhere between the 18-min. and 2-hr. 40-min. windows that the two ships were accorded. "Biologically, fight-or-flight behavior has two distinct stages," the researchers wrote. "The short-term response [is] a surge in adrenaline production. This response is limited to a few minutes, because adrenaline degrades rapidly. Only after returning to homeostasis do the higher-order brain functions of the neocortex begin to override instinctual responses...
...videos show us is that colleges cannot rely on specific mediums or gimmicks to do the personalizing for them; they must also focus on university-specific content.

Despite its popularity, I don’t actually know any high school students who became more interested in Yale after viewing it; sure, those who wanted to go to Yale prior to the video release wouldn’t stop bursting...
...best way to achieve personalization and promote our beloved college while retaining our unique Harvard identity is to encourage more student involvement with the process. Tour guides can only do so much with an hour-long walk around Harvard and while we try not to generalize too much and involve as many anecdotes as we can, it is not always possible. Inviting interested students to spend a day in the life of a Harvard student and sending Harvard students to high schools to speak about their time here, which the Undergraduate Admissions Council enables students to do through...
...only because the other 97 percent don’t even think of it as a real possibility. No, I’m not talking about sex; I’m referring to living off-campus, which is even rarer than a horizontal tango on a twin-extra long. Take it from someone who’s recently changed her House affiliation for the third time (Mather to Currier to Dudley) while spending her senior year living in the Back Bay. Upperclass houses may be the supposed bedrock of Harvard social life, but that doesn’t mean you?...
