...administration’s adamant assertions that “there are advantages and disadvantages to every House” are beginning to wear thin. Despite the disputable pros and cons of each location, only the blindly obtuse could refute that residents of Harvard’s three “Quad houses”—Cabot, Currier, and Pforzheimer—will be disproportionately affected by the recent budget cuts. Although the university has only announced $77 million of the reported $220 million in cuts to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences budget, the most significant changes?...

The second research team, based at the University of Exeter, also had a group of kids (this time, 47 boys ages 8 to 10) wear ActiGraphs. The data revealed that very few of the kids - fewer than 15% - sustained any burst of moderate-to-vigorous exercise lasting even five minutes, the kind you would get playing a soccer game in a P.E. class, for instance. And yet those kids were no healthier (as measured by waist size, aerobic fitness and microvascular function) than the kids who moved...
