...Green entertains the Raiders, who are fresh off a 17-14 win over No. 15 Massachusetts. Despite losing former Payton Award winning running back Jamaal Branch and dropping the season opener to mid-major Central Connecticut, Colgate seems to be back on the right track...
...just three years, Korean pop star Rain has built a huge domestic following of (mostly) female fans with a string of chart-topping singles, and now he's ready to branch out overseas.

They canvassed 145 beachgoers, using two standardized substance-abuse surveys adapted to sunbathing. After asking the tanners a range of questions from the first survey--including whether they wake up in the morning thinking about tanning and whether they get annoyed when others tell them to tan less--the researchers concluded that 26% qualified as being addicted to tanning behavior. When the second survey--the American Psychiatric Association's criteria for substance abuse--was used, that number jumped...
