...first period. Having already killed two Cornell penalties, Harvard was faced with the prospect of dealing with a third when sophomore Ian Tallett was whistled for hitting from behind.Co-captain Mike Taylor, however, responded to the challenge by stepping up his offensive play, putting on an impressive burst of speed finished with some deft stickhandling to maneuver his way to a shorthanded goal just 21 seconds into the penalty.“[With] the crowd, it can get away from you if you lose your emotions, how loud they are,” Taylor said...
...were probably set in motion this way, but two postdoctoral students at the Carnegie Institution of Washington suggest that the 10th, known as HE 0437-5439, came not from our galaxy but from the nearby Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). Mercedes Lopez-Morales and Alcestes Bonanos analyzed the position and speed of HE 0437-5439 and calculated that if it came from the Milky Way's core, it must have been traveling for 100 million years. Yet its color and mass put its age at 35 million years. The alternative is that it came from the LMC, which means it didn...

...resurrection of India's railroads was a three-step process that has been so successful it is studied by visiting business students from places such as Harvard, Wharton and INSEAD. The first step: speed things up - not the trains themselves but the turnaround time between the end and beginning of each new trip. In 2001 the average time to unload, repair, refuel and reload a freight train in India was 7.1 days. Now it is just five days, which means that 800 trains leave on a new journey each day, rather than just 550. Given that an additional trip...
...ensued. There was no serious congestion and fewer accidents than usual. Most commuters reported that while they had driven more slowly than usual, their traveling time was shorter. While this does back up Monderman's theory, I cynically suspect that if we did away with traffic lights, speed would gradually increase and courtesy and care would all too soon degenerate into selfishness and aggression.
