...inning.Vertovez pitched strongly through the first three frames, not allowing a runner past second base, but Columbia broke the scoreless tie in the fourth.Junior Dani Pineda led off the inning for the Lions with a single to right field and came home on Johnson’s bomb. Freshman Julia Moore came on in the fifth and pitched two innings of scoreless relief, but the Crimson couldn’t string together enough hits to get on the scoreboard. “We wanted to score runs immediately, and when it wasn’t happening, we got a little...
...because global warming is so, well, global, potentially touching just about every corner of the world and every aspect of our lives, encapsulating it in a single image has proven elusive. You can't connect climate change to a natural disaster as simply as you can connect a napalm bomb, a running child and the war in Vietnam.

New Zealand has twice aborted tours of Sri Lanka, in 1987 after a bomb exploded in the capital Colombo, and again in 1992, when a suicide bomber detonated his payload in front of the team's hotel. That tour continued despite the five leading players and the coach pulling out. The Lahore attack, says Roshan Abeyasinghe, Sri Lankan cricket commentator and manager of Ajantha Mendis, one of the Sri Lankan players injured in the Lahore attack, just confirms the potential dangers of a sub-continental...
