Though it's caricatured as a concrete jungle, New York is already surprisingly eco-friendly. Thanks to its density and public transit, the city has a per capita carbon footprint 71% smaller than the U.S. as a whole.

But Cornell ranks second in the country in goals per game (13.86) and has junior attack Ryan Hurley, the nation’s leading scorer with 3.67 goals per game. While Harvard will have to watch out for the offensive prowess of Hurley, who scored five goals against Penn last week, and senior midfielder Max Seibald, the Big Red will have...
...boys and all of the girls are begging to if you seek Amy,” right? Don’t worry if the wordplay is still taking a while to sink in, because Britney’s raunchy tutorial accommodates all tastes and learning styles: one pelvic thrust per beat in the chorus, repeated twice with Chippendale wannabes or curvy cheerleaders. Now the music mellows out in a haze of white and you think, “Oh God, she’s getting married again?” But no, it’s just Britney the Stepford...
