Harvard University is one of the best in the most explored fields of education. Today I will research
Best Medical Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Law Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Medical Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Law Schools and Harvard's Ranking
Best Economic Schools and Harvard's Ranking
MEDICINE:
Top Universities
According to this page, Harvard is at the top with a stunning 97.9% effectivity. This ranking is based upon Academic reputation, Employer reputation and Citations per paper. The next university, Oxford, holds a 94% effectivity rate.
LAW
Top Universities
Again, Harvard is first with the same 97.9% effectivity. The same filters apply. However, Yale University is at second place with 93.7%.
Also, US News says that Harvard is second while Yale is first. Maybe they don't use the same filters.
ECONOMY
Top Universities
This time Harvard was outhroned by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) and holds the second place, with the same criteria, with a 92.4% effectivity. MIT stands at first with 96.6% effectivity.
After all this research we can see that Harvard is hands down the best university in the world, based on its sports (even though Stanford is better) and academic achievements.

Google 2.2
3 Goals For Today
1. Find out more about Harvard
2. Research its sports programs.
3. Recognized alumni.
Harvard
Harvard was founded in 1848 by John Harvard. It was the first school of high education in the United States and remains as the best university. It started out with a class of nine students with one master degree to more than 20000 students that can choose from 12 degree-granting schools. Harvard has 360 thousand living alumni across more than 190 countries.
The school's color is crimson This is because in 1853, the rowing team in Harvard gave crimson scarves to the rowers so that the students could identify their school. After one of these rowers (Eliot) became president in 1869, the color was made the school's official color.
The school shield is a crimson shield with the Latin VERITAS in three books. Veritas means truth. It was sketched in an Overseers meeting in 1644 and found in the College Archives by Josiah Quincy for the College's bicentennial. It still remains today.
Sports
Harvard Crimson is the official name of the sports program. They play in NCAA I and have lots of different and talented players in their fields. In the London 2012 Olympics, Harvard students won 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal. That is quite impressive and just shows the great capacity of the Harvard Crimson athletic program.

Google Day 2.1
My goals for today are
1. Find out the top ten colleges and universities in the world and why.
2. The top ten chosen careers and why.
3. Highest SAT scores in 2012.
US News
Top 10 in 2010
Harvard
Princeton
Yale
Columbia
Chicago
MIT
Stanford
Duke
U Penn
Cal Tech
The rankings are based on the tuition fees, acceptance rate, freshmen retention rate and 6 year graduation rate. The top ten universities charge around 40K dollars approximately. Non of the top ten are extremely cheap.
ALEC
The top ten careers that will grow in size in 2012 are:
Network Systems Analysts:
Medical Assistants
Medical Records and Health Information Technicians
Software Engineers
Fitness Trainers
Physical Therapist Aides
Veterinary Technicians
Dental Hygienists
LA Times
The top ten schools with highest SAT scores are
Gretchen Whitney High (2000)
Pacific Collegiate Charter (1961)
Mission San Jose High (1958)
Palo Alto High (1951)
Lynbrook High (1949)
Henry M. Gunn High (1943)
Monta Vista High (1931)
Saratoga High (1923)
Troy High (1917)
Oxford Academy (1913)
What I learned
I learned that a great education in the United States is not cheap, in fact, many people cannot afford to pay around 40 grand a year for their children's education. However, the success rate of these universities is so high that I think that the 20 thousand students that enter these universities a year will end up in the high levels of the economic ladder.
Also, the fact that it is so expensive makes your choice of career vital, since you dont have that much margin of error. However, in the present day many universities are having programs for people to choose their preffered career instead of regretting their decisions.

Linux
I know nothing about Linux before I research about it.
QUESTIONS
What is Linux?
Why is it important?
LINKS
How Stuff Works
Linux
WHAT I LEARNED
Linux is an operating system that has grown in popularity in the last few years.
It is a competition to Windows and Mac OS.
The creator of the Linux kernel is Linus Torvalds.
Linux is free, and that is one of the main reasons it has increased in popularity.
Computer engineers and fans use Linux to have more control over their operating systems.
CONNECTION
This operating system connects to my life because it is an alternative to the mainstream Windows or Mac OS operating systems. However, I don't think that I will install it in my computer because it is still in the process of being created.
REMAINING QUESTIONS
Will it someday surpass the other two operating systems in popularity?
