...PITTSBURGH (11-5-1) at TENNESSEE (11-5), 4:30 p.m. ET Realignment took these teams out of the same division, but the Steelers and Titans did meet earlier this season, and it was a game Pittsburgh QB Tommy Maddox would like to forget ... and did. During a woeful, three-interception performance in Tennessee's 31-23 victory, Maddox was knocked out by LB Keith Bullock on a clean hit that forced him to miss a couple of games. Hard hitting again will be the theme of the day, as both teams are physical, methodical and disciplined. Perhaps...

Consider specialized “drug courts” which see their duty as “cleaning up the streets?...
Shrouded in the veil of impersonality, Harvard’s advising system remains woeful. Students in search of academic guidance are stymied by vast bureaucracies, often struggling to find a friendly face to whom they can turn for sound advice. Both House and departmental advising standards are patchy and inconsistent, leaving many students short-changed with substandard advisors. Improving the quality of advising should be one of the top priorities for the administration next year, and, in particular, for the new dean of undergraduate education...
