...Revere Beach, undeniably the most frequented by undergrads, is a refreshing fifteen minute walk from the T stop, but the North shore offers far more enticing if harder to reach locations. Crane Beach in Ipswich has the stereotypical “One Crazy Summer” sand dunes, ranger outpost, and luxury public restrooms, as well as a rather hefty $20 for non-member cars, and $6 for pedestrians. For those not willing to make such a journey without a car, Manchester by the Sea has all the beauty of Crane Beach and a closer locale than Revere...

And in April, Cornell announced that it would open a branch of its medical school in Qatar...
This, to say the least, is an economic backwater. But Modalen is no longer feeling isolated. Since the beginning of the year, everyone in town - in homes, businesses and schools - has been linked to the Internet with a broadband connection. Overnight, this Norwegian outpost has become part of the worldwide Digital Village. "I was looking for a town in the middle of nowhere to serve as a pilot for broadband testing," says Jostein Eck, marketing manager for the Norwegian telecommunications firm Nera, as he gestures toward the snow-capped cliffs. "We see it as a model for communities outside urban...
