...itself. You can almost hear the collective parents of the nation asking, “Is this even music?” In this case, even the most faithful crunkophile might have doubts. What follows are some of the most pathetic tracks ever to cost a label a hundred grand apiece. In “Grew Up a Screw Up,” featuring Young Jeezy, Luda does absolutely nothing with the Biggie sample with which he has been blessed enough to be able to afford to rap over. This track is only worth the one laugh that you always...
...sophomore Emily Balmert merits this treatment. Not for her superb play as of late, but for her epic, humorous stories that leave her teammates responding with much more than a subdued golf clap. Known as the “Puppet Master” to her teammates for her use grand gesticulations to augment her many words, Balmert combines a warm personality and strong on-course leadership to be a substantial contributor to the Crimson women’s golf team’s early tournament success this season.

It came from team leaders based at the McLaren Technology Centre in leafy Woking, south of London, who were using prediction software...
...most of us, though, it's the grand question about what it is that makes us human that renders comparative genome studies so compelling. As scientists keep reminding us, evolution is a random process in which haphazard genetic changes interact with random environmental conditions to produce an organism somehow fitter than its fellows. After 3.5 billion years of such randomness, a creature emerged that could ponder its own origins--and revel in a Mozart adagio. Within a few short years, we may finally understand precisely when and how that happened...
