Three Pennypacker residents living on the same floor were diagnosed with scabies over the weekend, forcing dozens of freshmen to throw their wardrobes into the wash and begin cautionary treatment for the skin disease. Students reporting rashes first came to University Health Services (UHS) early Saturday afternoon, and administrators notified students of the outbreak shortly thereafter. Scabies, a highly contagious but treatable skin disease, is caused by mites that burrow under the skin and lay egg, spread through direct skin-to-skin contact between people or through clothes and bedding. The disease leaves a rash or tiny blisters or bumps...

In the past, it has been an early venue for national mega-hits, and this year’s fest promises to offer at least one film that’s likely to make viewers’ skin crawl with terror. “[The festival] presents a combination of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, action and cult movies—films people often do not consider in a serious way,” says Hinkle.

She is comfortable enough in her Shanghai skin to scold a woman who recently jumped a long queue at Ho's neighborhood bakery. Ho says her swift adaptation to Chinese culture, along with the very American networking skills she used to cultivate mentors and allies back at headquarters, helped her survive when GE abruptly shut her unit last year...
...money. Because success is defined in monetary terms, bringing eyes to the sport must be done by any means necessary. Heck, learn from the NHL: They let their players exchange blows every game to keep their fans excited. So, in the case of women athletes, if showing a little skin or promoting the aesthetic pleasures of the game will bring more people to the games and put more money in these women’s pockets, then they should do it—and laugh at the criticism all the way to the bank. But what’s more...
