...been here. They have a really impressive group of 200 freestylers, so beating them was a pretty big accomplishment.” Those records represent just a fraction of Harvard’s impressive season. All told, 12 new standards were set by Crimson swimmers this season. Clarke reset her own records in the 500-yard and 1650-yard freestyle at Ivies, and junior Sophie Morgan set a record of her own in her runner-up finish in the 100-yard butterfly, tying the benchmark set by Mills earlier in the year.

...Facebook monitors users' activity, and when someone goes from a few wall posts a week to hundreds of messages within a few minutes, the security team can logically assume that the account has been hacked. They'll notify the user, reset the password, and the whole issue is usually resolved within a few hours.

One group is associated with deep sleep, which results from fatigue; the other is linked with rapid eye movement, or REM, sleep. Although the first group of neurons can be reset in a few days, the latter can take up to a week to catch up - so, one part of the brain thinks its in Paris, while the other insists it's still in New York. The result is you lying wide awake in your hotel room...
...reporters. "But it is important to remember that every defense dollar spent to overinsure against a remote or diminishing risk - or, in effect, to 'run up the score' in a capability where the United States is already dominant - is a dollar not available to take care of our people, reset the force, win the wars we are in and improve capabilities in areas where we are underinvested and potentially vulnerable...
