The Crimson sent six wrestlers to compete at Welsh-Ryan Arena on the campus of Northwestern University this Saturday, with two advancing to the second day of competition. Freshman Corey Jantzen, returning from an ankle injury that sidelined him for almost a month, put up the most impressive performance for Harvard.

Harvard researchers and a local technology company are developing a network of weather sensors that will make the Cambridge climate one of the most closely studied in the country. CitySense, a project headed by Assistant Professor of Computer Science Matt Welsh, brings Harvard researchers and BBN Technologies engineers together to create a unique wireless network that can be used for research ranging from high school projects to doctoral theses. Cambridge will be the first city to install the sensor nodes, which will be placed on or inside small boxes, on its street-light poles next year. “CitySense...
