...time lag between Harvard’s outdated Houses and Yale’s renovated Colleges is a marked one. In 1997, Yale committed to renovating all 12 Colleges and only three remain unfinished. Last May, the Committee on House Life (CHL) told The Crimson it would spend the summer choosing a renovation plan for the River Houses. The report assessing the various construction possibilities will be complete by the end of the month, according to an e-mail from Dean Suzy M. Nelson. But the CHL has no timetable for when their “vision?...
Granted, many Chinese people do not have the luxury of seeing this side of China. This summer, Shanghai had record high temperatures, and any resident would tell you that clear days are rare.

Take rocket and mortar attacks: In June, U.S. bases in the area were hit with 69 separate attacks; in October that number was down to six, and even after Sunday's strikes (in which no U.S. personnel were killed) the tally for November is just seven. In June there were 129 roadside bombs planted in the battalion's area. That number had been cut in half by August. So far this month there have been only 16 roadside bombs found or detonated in the area...
