...NEC.As could be expected, balancing a normal course load with studio classes is demanding. “It’s very hard to find time to practice,” admits Aaron T. Kuan ’09, a first-year violinist in the program. Kuan takes partial responsibility for his hectic schedule, though. “I think a lot of this stems from the fact that I am trying to keep the option of other career options in addition to music.”Kapusta similarly feels that time management is difficult, but says it is nothing...
...disfigured by burns or accidents. No one had yet raised a scalpel to try, in part because of numerous medical, ethical and psychological concerns that had to be considered first. That's one reason it was so startling to learn last week that the first face transplant--albeit a partial one--has taken place. Doctors in France reported that they took a triangular patch of facial tissue containing the nose, lips and chin of a brain-dead donor and transplanted them onto a 38-year-old mother of two who had been severely mauled by a dog last...
...Betzes are still waiting to hear about their application for a government loan that they could use to rebuild or to pay off their mortgage.

Students who currently pay the Student Activities Fee divide up into groups of four, and select one group member to opt-out of the termbill payment. This member then agrees...
George R.R. Martin is fond of sudden reversals. The tasty but poisoned dish, the false god who abruptly proves all too real, the unsalvageable rogue who strikes a hidden vein of decency when we--and he--least expect it. Martin is also partial to sacked castles, bear pits, disastrous battles, cynical betrayals, public executions, assassinations, ill luck, duels to the death, ambushes in forests and corpses left rotting in green hedgerows. The world Martin writes about may bear a passing resemblance to Olde Englande, but it is not a Merrie...
