...passenger, I thought that perhaps I had mastered the technique of making myself appear more imposing than I really am by curling up into a fetal position and pulling the hood of my jacket over my head, thereby hiding my lanky frame and boyish face while I slept. Yet beneath the heavy green fabric of my Abercrombie sweatshirt, I must have exuded an aura of accessibility, for, despite my best efforts, I proved unable to shake my innocuous but unwanted interlocutors...
Keilis-Borok calls his approach "tail wags the dog," the tail referring to patterns of seismic activity that appear to presage large tremors. (He does not try to forecast smaller events, like the earthquake swarms that rumbled beneath Mount St. Helens before it erupted last week, or the more significant quakes that perturbed Parkfield, Calif.) At first he and his colleagues looked for strong quakes that had already occurred, then scrolled backward through years of seismic data. More recently they have been working with current seismic records as well. Their computer programs home in on small quakes that occur...
...read glucose levels once a minute and works for three days at a time before needing to be changed. The continuous sugar-level readings are sent to a small receiver kept in a pocket or purse, and originate from the patch's hairlike filament that penetrates ever so slightly beneath the skin. But it doesn't probe deep enough to draw blood. Instead it measures glucose levels in the body's interstitial fluid. These readings often lag behind actual blood-sugar levels by about 15 minutes, but experts say that's still plenty of time to spot a problem. Navigator...
...shuttle pulled away. All was well in Dartboard-land, until some fraction of a second later, pothole number one passed beneath, then two and three.

No, this was no easier way to get home; Dartboard’s fears of an evening bike ride down Garden Street were replaced with visions of his turquoise beauty jarring loose from its perilous mount and being crushed under the wheels of a crimson and white beast...
...scarcely known Tennessee ghost town hid beneath the mountains rocks The Features, who’ve recently released their first full length album, Exhibit A, on Universal sub-label Temptation. At age 13, with nothing else to do, three of the band’s current four members turned to music and formed the band that is finally gaining the recognition they deserve. At less than 33 minutes long, the CD might just be too short to contain all the rock. Characterized by driving distorted guitar riffs, howling vocals and the old-school background subtleties of the electric organ...
