While we're all down at Soldiers Field and you all are back across the river studying (or maybe you don't study much since you're so smart already), I'll spread the word to all of the members of the "jock sub-culture" that they may as well put in some more hours in the training room, the weight room, Gordon, Bright or Briggs because once they get back across the river they're doomed to struggle with their academic inferiority.

...Restic added that it's hard to blame Lazarre-White, who is under almost constant pressure whenever he drops back to pass. Missing the right side of the line, Tom Callahan, Mike Zweber and Darrin Duda, the Crimson struggled in the trenches. Also not on the field was Lazarre-White's favorite receiver, Andy Lombara, who sprained an ankle in the second quarter...
First came the score from Ithaca, N.Y., where the Big Green had utilized three Dean Durkin field goals to take an 11-6 decision from the undefeated Cornell Big Red. Then the shocker, a late touchdown gave Brown a 24-17 decision over also-undefeated Penn in Providence. And finally, the expected Yale blowout over Columbia, 31-7, produced the logjam at the top of the league standings. Harvard, Cornell, Dartmouth, Penn and Yale all lie at 2-1 with four games remaining to be played...

What the art world frets about is how Varnedoe, whose appointment as director of painting and sculpture at MOMA has made him America's most powerful museum figure in the modern and contemporary field, will represent all its factional interests. Hence his every action is scrutinized and picked to bits, as Etruscan haruspices once examined sacrificial livers for a sign of the future...
...optics depends on taking starlight focused by a telescope's main mirrors and bouncing it off yet another mirror before studying the image. The additional mirror is made of a superflexible material -- plastic, in the Johns Hopkins device. A light sensor monitors a reference star within the telescope's field of view and looks for the shimmering caused by currents in the atmosphere. When the sensor detects disturbances, it sends signals to electrodes flanking the plastic mirror. The electrodes create electric fields that make the plastic bulge or dip, canceling out the flicker. Both the Hawaii and Johns Hopkins teams...
