...back with two consecutive goals from Martin to bring Harvard to within one at 8-7. Martin would add Harvard’s final tally to earn herself a hat trick for the second straight game. “She is a great player and a big powerhouse on attack and we need her to continue playing great,” Schoen said. With only a few minutes left in the half and the Crimson down 11-9, Cornell managed to keep possession, giving Harvard limited offensive opportunities and finding a few for itself. The Big Red scored...
...have this sense, perhaps born of Jaws in 1975 and nurtured by its three sequels, that sharks lurk in an area, waiting to eat us as revenge for Roy Scheider's oceanic wickedness. It's not true; sharks attack and move on. The shark that bit into Martin - probably a 15- to 16-foot great white, according to a marine scientist quoted in Sunday's San Diego Union-Tribune, was probably a bit dim. The animal likely mistook Martin, who was clad in a black wetsuit, for a seal. Some here are even wondering if, in a way, the seals...
...thousand movies but a grungy, rock-strewn place. A municipal storm drain releases onto the main part of the beach, and a sign warns that the water issuing from it may be unhealthy.

As a rule, we treat creative individuality with the same suspicion as recreational drugs. You don't want to call too much attention to yourself, or put your security clearance at risk. It's no wonder that in middle age, so many of our successful men end up wearing work socks to bed with costly prostitutes...
...strive for perfection, but I'm human. The way to fix that is to provide oversight and redundancy. There are two pilots in the cockpit of every commercial aircraft. If one of them has a heart attack or makes a mistake, the other one is there to fix it. What's happened over the last few years is to save money, they've engineered out oversight of the human element. It's too expensive to have that second team sitting and watching the first team. So the bottom line is that one of the prescriptions for improving safety is hiring...
