...concluded that outsiders really aren’t that bad and can even provide better company than our classmates. First off, they were actually willing to talk with us about issues that matter, like our Lord Jesus Christ. For example, one man in a sandwich board holding a sack filled with baby doll parts gave us each a cartoon pamphlet and dialogued with us about the miraculous power of His love. (Corinthians 2:14). Yet if we had had this conversation with the typical Harvard student, it probably would have devolved into some Zionist diatribe about Larry Summers being...
...business as usual for Harvard’s D-line Saturday, as the nation’s best rushing and sack defense picked up seven sacks and gave up just 67 net yards on the ground. They came against a Cornell squad that had given up just a single sack entering the game, best in the nation...
...just a few pennies: a large pinch of salt and a fistful of sugar dissolved in a jug of clean water, the simplest recipe for oral rehydration solution. "To save the life of a person with diarrhea is probably the cheapest health intervention you can think of," says David Sack, an American doctor who is the ICDDR's executive director.

Oral rehydration has saved the lives of more than 40 million children since it was first put to the test during a cholera outbreak among refugees on India...

Malnutrition and diarrhea go hand-in-hand, and in Bangladesh both are so widespread that not even middle-class children can escape their self-perpetuating cycle. "If you have a child that is malnourished and who then loses more weight through diarrhea, and tries...
...quick aside here though: Is the factoring of sacks into rushing yardage in college football not one of the ten stupidest things currently happening in the world? A major reason Lehigh netted only 26 yards rushing against the Crimson D was Brad Bagdis’ game-ending sack of brain-farting Sedale Threatt for an 18-yard loss. The Mountain Hawks gained 87 yards on the ground and “lost” 61, 56 of them on seven sacks...
