...Harvard Basketball.”With the recruiting season culminating in the next few weeks, the move is likely to send ripples through the program. In interviews with the Boston Globe and Scout.com respectively, high school seniors Kyle Casey, who verbally committed to Harvard in February, and Dee Giger, who committed to the Crimson last July, each cited Wade as one of their primary reasons for choosing the College.“He was very persistent and comes off immediately as a personal, great guy,” said freshman guard Oliver McNally, one of the players recruited by Wade...
...Sometimes he built on the design work of others. He adapted H.R. Giger's creature from Alien for the mommy monster in the sequel, and developed Bottin's FX of the wormy, slightly Strom Thurmonish invader in The Thing.

In early January at the Adelboden race in Switzerland, he skipped the warm-up run, lost his pole a quarter of the way down on his first run, nearly crashed at the bottom, and still finished just 0.18 sec. off first place. Toni Giger, head coach of the Austrian team, the best in the world, calls Miller one-of-a-kind. "He takes the full risk, but then he shows he can correct his mistakes," Giger says. "That's his strength." Raised on a mountainside in Franconia, New Hampshire, Miller was home schooled until...
