...world–the artwork itself. Beyond the glass encasements of the Sackler’s most treasured pieces and the miles of cluttered stacks that inundate Widener, Lamont, and Harvard’s many other libraries stand two centers in charge of ensuring that these objects are preserved: the Straus Center for Conservation and Technical Studies and the Weissman Preservation Center. Although the technicians at these two Centers play a behind-the-scenes role, their use of ever-developing technologies to preserve the works of the past are integral to the creation and maintenance of Harvard?...
...been done before. Another part of it is really about Huffington. HuffPo's speedy rise to prominence, courtesy of others' work, reminds some of its founder's own journey. Female ambition is a curious force. When its outlets are blocked, it sometimes seems to settle on the nearest object - a spouse, a child, a cause. But in rare cases, it finds its perfect vehicle.

The brain, which is snug but not completely stationary inside the head, may continue moving, colliding with the inside of the skull. This leads to swelling or bruising or - much worse - bleeding. A brain-bleed is immediately life-threatening, but swelling is less so and may not even be evident for a little while, which is what appears to have happened in Richardson's case...

If they're moving faster than 15 or 20 m.p.h. and strike ice, hard-packed snow or another solid object with the head, they're likely to suffer severe injury, and again the presence of a helmet may not make much difference. It's in the middle area - at speeds that are neither very slow nor very fast - that a helmet can play the biggest role. The trick, of course...
