...Though Yardfest in general is a great event, the choice to have Kid Cudi perform is especially commendable. In the past, the Yardfest artist selections have evoked controversy, but this year, the College Events Board and the Harvard Concert Commission made a concerted effort to pick a mainstream artist who would appeal to a larger portion of the student body. As the second-most popular poll response, Kid Cudi certainly accomplishes that goal. And students who prefer a different niche of music will hopefully be satisfied with the choice of Patrick Park as the opening...

...that spaceflight could potentially harm the women's fertility. "It's out of the consideration of being responsible for the female pilots," Xu Xianrong, director of the PLA's Clinical Aerospace Medicine Center in Beijing and a member of the selection panel, told the official government news agency Xinhua. "Though there is little evidence on how the space experience will affect the female constitution, we have to be extra cautious, because this is a first for China."

"Environmental dumping threatens our jobs, [and] it would be absurd to tax French companies while giving a competitive advantage to those in polluting countries," Sarkozy argued, saying he remained committed to a carbon tax as a necessary move to protect the environment - though only once nations "who continue to pollute without shame" agree to become as virtuous...

...greater transparency and penitence than his predecessor, and certainly more than many of the local bishops who should have been the ones managing the individual cases. And so far, each new revelation from Ratzinger's past seems to show more administrative detachment than bad judgment from the future Pope - though that is still a surprising hands-off management style for the man who would earn a reputation as a micromanager as he rose to become the éminence grise in John Paul II's Vatican...
