【侨报周末特约记者李强波士顿图文报道，刊登于《侨报周末》2012年11月24日头版】11月16日至18日，为期两天半的麻省理工学院中国创新与创业论坛（MIT-CHIEF）在麻省理工史塔塔（stata）中心举行。本次论坛吸引了来自中美两国的近700位与会者，就在科技领域创新创业展开了热烈的讨论。论坛通过主题演讲、板块讨论、创业大赛和科技展览等形式，为中国创新与创业发展建言献策。
拿破仑曾经说过不想当将军的士兵不是一个好的士兵，而这句话在具有创新创业传统的麻省理工学院（MIT）应该改为：不想创业的学生不是一个好学生。

As a Bostonian, I enjoyed watching Tom Brady and the New England Patriots picking apart New York Jets on NBC Thanksgiving night. Tom Brady tossed 3 touchdown passes, scored one touchdown from one yard out rushing into the end zone himself, and led his team to a 49:19 lopsided victory. The game was never in doubt after the Pats scored 35 points in the 2nd quarter, with offense, defense and the special teams all scoring TDs. |

I am currently an education major at Syracuse University and an alumnus of Lexington High School (LHS). For starters, let me explain the AP situation at Lexington High School. This explanation is based off of what I recall when I attended school there. From what I remember, starting sophomore year LHS would start offering two AP classes. This number then steadily increases each year that the student progress. However, how one gets into an AP class is important. In order to get into an AP class, a student must be recommend by a teacher and this recommendation is usually dependent on the grade the student is receiving in a per-requisite course. For example, if you are going to get a B in Lv1 Earth Science then there is not a great chance you are going to get into AP Biology. This system is implemented so that students who may not be ready for AP classes won’t fill them up.
