...already registered. “As it is right now, we’re going to get owned.” (pwned?) But Harvard Interactive Media Group President Ben S. Decker ’08 isn’t as ready to hang up the sweat-free towel. “Take the first Harvard football night game—people say there’s no spirit but the place was packed,” said Decker. And where spirit lags, competition reigns. “I feel like we hate Yale a little more than they hate...
...trash bag and twist it shut while leaving enough empty space for gases to build up. Put the bag in your sink and run hot water over it for thirty minutes to activate the fermentation process.

And since they don't think girls are funny (their touchstone movie "classics" are Caddyshack and Porky's, not Earth...
Wandering the cavernous information hall at Live Earth's Tokyo site on Saturday - munching on a whole-grain, locally made peanut butter muffin and browsing for a 100% hemp towel - I noticed the solar panels. Like the events in Sydney, Shanghai, London, Washington and other cities, Live Earth Tokyo was intended as a rock festival-cum-environmental fair, where concertgoers could learn about the energy-saving benefits of fluorescent lightbulbs while jamming to groups like Genesis, who reformed for the London show.
