"We are just about where we've been all winter," coach Bill McCurdy said last night. "Barring the explosion in the Big Three, we expected to finish about where we did.
"In a championship meet, a few individuals can do it," McCurdy added. "In a dual meet, you have to have depth."
Miler John Z. Quirk was Harvard's strongest competitor in the meet. Coming off an illness, he had to fight his way out of a crowd of runners at several points in the running. Penn's Bob Child held the lead throughout the race and finished first in 4:09.6. Going into the last quarter, Quirk passed Cornell's Don Alexander and appeared to be headed for a second place finish.

History (from Greek ἱστορία, historia, meaning "inquiry, knowledge acquired by investigation") is the study of the past, particularly how it relates to humans. It is an umbrella term that relates to past events as well as the memory, discovery, collection, organization, presentation, and interpretation of information about these events. Scholars who write about history are called historians. Events occurring prior to written record are considered prehistory.
Stories common to a particular culture, but not supported by external sources (such as the tales surrounding King Arthur), are usually classified as cultural heritage or legends, because they do not show the "disinterested investigation" required of the discipline of history.Herodotus, a 5th-century BC Greek historian is considered within the Western tradition to be the "father of history", and, along with his contemporary Thucydides, helped form the foundations for the modern study of human history. Their works continue to be read today, and the gap between the culture-focused Herodotus and the military-focused Thucydides remains a point of contention or approach in modern historical writing. In Asia, a state chronicle, the Spring and Autumn Annals was known to be compiled from as early as 722 BC although only 2nd century BC texts survived.


I am going to tell you a story about a parrot that belonged to me that bit me every time that I tried to take it into my hands.
Around two or three months ago I had a parrot. We actually found it in the yard that is behind our apartment building. My little brother was walking in the yard when he saw a green thing walking around. He picked it up and brought it into our apartment. Then, a few days later, we went to a pet store, and we bought a cage for our little parrot. Then we brought it to our home and put the little parrot in the cage. After that we fed our little winged animal.
Two weeks later, we also went to the pet store to buy another parrot, so the one that we had at home could have another friend or partner to share the food with. The old one was green, but the other one that we bought was blue. Then I found out that the green one was a female because, when the other one was put in the cage, she was cleaning the cage with her little beak where the cage was dirty.
When the green one was alone, I could easily hold it on my finger. But after the blue one arrived she became very upset because I tried to put the blue parrot on my hand like I did with the green one. This made her very angry. I was so surprised now when I tried to put even the green parrot on my hand. When I put my hand in the cage the green parrot bit me.
After months they both become friends. One day I went out, I don't remember where I went, but the only thing I remember is that when I went to my room and looked for the parrots, there was only one. I asked my brother "Where is the blue parrot?" Then I was told that the green parrot killed the blue one and that was a big surprise to me because I loved both of the parrots. So I couldn't find out what was the reason why the parrot killed his own friend.
After days later, my mom's friend went to our home, and my little brother was holding the parrot on his hand. She saw it and she asked, "Where did you find that parrot? That parrot belonged to me," she said. I tried to ask her if we could keep it a little bit longer, but she refused to do it. She took the parrot to her home. Then I become very sad because I had lost my two pets.
This is the sad ending of my story.


Is Business Cycle Asymmetry Intrinsic in Industrialized Economies?
We consider a model-averaged forecast-based estimate of the output gap to measure economic slack in ten industrialized economies. Our measure takes changes in the long-run growth rate into account and, by addressing model uncertainty using equal weights on different forecast-based estimates, is robust to different assumptions about the underlying structure of the economy. For all ten countries in the sample, we find that the estimated output gap has much larger negative movements during recessions than positive movements in expansions, suggesting business cycle asymmetry is an intrinsic characteristic of industrialized economies. Furthermore, the estimated output gap is always strongly negatively correlated with future output growth and unemployment and positively correlated with capacity utilization. It also implies a convex Phillips Curve in many cases. The model-averaged output gap is reliable in real time in the sense of being subject to relatively small revisions.

Allergy season not quite over yet
|In Patients
Sneezing, itchy nose and watery eyes — each a symptom of allergic rhinitis.
Coined "hay fever" after farmers would commonly experience these fever-type symptoms working out in the fields, seasonal allergies has symptoms country boy Craig Anderson has experienced all his life.
"We would play in the weeds until our eyes got so inflamed that we couldn't even find our way home. It was kind of the question of the blind leading the blind, trying to find our way home," he said. "But we managed it."
Johnnie Cook, M.D., said seasonal allergies are caused by pollens in the air: "What happens is that you breathe in that pollen and your body has a reaction because it thinks that's a foreign thing."
In the springtime, grass and tree pollens are high. Pollen from weeds trickle in as early as August and sticks around until the first hard frost," he explained. Symptoms include itchy nose, sneezing, itchy eyes and nasal congestion, and seasonal allergies can lead to irritability and trouble sleeping.
"There are studies where we see more allergies and more asthma now than we used to in the past." Cook said although there are no official studies yet available, he suspects the reasoning may be attributed to more pollution and kids spending more time indoors than playing outside.
Cook added that allergies can come at any age, typically after you've been exposed for several years. Thirty to 40 percent of seasonal allergies can be treated with over-the-counter medications. The doctor urges reading labels closely and pay special attention to how long the medication lasts.
"Some studies show that Benadryl in a 25 mg. dose can be as impairing as alcohol at a legal limit," Cook said. If symptoms persist, make an appointment with your doctor to explore the one of the many options for treatment. "There are some great solutions out there. (Allergy sufferers) should really seek a physician rather than be miserable and miss out on life. Life's too precious."
