...aside painful memories and move on is natural. But in the mountains of Sichuan, the impulse to look forward is also a political decision. Too open an examination of the collapsed schools would expose deep flaws in regional governance and could unleash a flood of discontent that might be difficult for the government to control. Yet even among those who are pushing ahead, the memories of the horror are unshakable. Here are four survivors' stories...

These policies make it incredibly difficult for students to have social events on campus, and without revisions they can create a dangerous party atmosphere that undermines the College’s commitment to student safety. Student groups face an inordinate number of obstacles when throwing parties. Student groups must secure large spaces three weeks in advance of events...
...cells,” it is not a solution for many diseases, as stem cell and regenerative biology professor Kevin Eggan said in a talk last night, titled “Using Stem Cells and Reprogramming to Model Neural Degeneration.” For example, he said it is difficult to imagine growing a new forebrain in the case of Alzheimer’s Disease, which is effectively what would need to be done to cure it. Stem cell research can be applied to better understand the biological progression of many more complicated diseases, Eggan said in a Sever Hall...

So when bands of pirates approach a target ship at high speed with machine guns and RPGs blazing, there's little fighting back that the crew can do. Reports to the International Maritime Bureau on hijackings detail crews using water shot from fire hoses, evasive maneuvers that sometimes generate waves to keep the pirates at bay and "Mayday" calls to other ships as the key defenses against pirates...
