Finally, in the third game, Dartmouth put up a fight. The Harvard serve receiving had some holes, and the Dartmouth servers took advantage. Even though Harvard took the lead early, Dartmouth pulled back to 11-9 with the help of a five-point run. The Crimson got stuck in some rotations where the passing simply broke down, and so did its consistency. However, with the help of some key blocks the Crimson was able to overcome a subpar .146 hitting percentage and finish its Ivy League...
...Adderall, and I see a therapist. I used to be on Ritalin. I've been on medication since the third grade. I don't like what the medication does to me. About four years ago I stopped taking my Ritalin. I'd get the pills and then throw them away. I started being wild.

Why do people who are perfectly rational shareholders the 11 other months of the year get gripped with a frenzied groupthink that forces them to shoot first...
Teaching today takes restraint, energy and, above all, a sense of humor. While the kids downstairs eat cheese fries, half a dozen science teachers gather in the third-floor faculty lounge over leftovers from home. These 27 min. are more like a sanity break. When they enter the lounge, they get to be adults. They talk about everything from weekend plans to the lack of staff parking to the difference between sweet potatoes and yams...
