...like indie rock, you probably own a dozen albums just like this Minneapolis, Minn., band's taut, lo-fi debut--and you will want this one too. The lyrics are from the Pavement school of abstraction ("Kelly the insistor/ Your brother is a blister"), and lead singer Josh Grier has the same dry, almost cracking voice as David Byrne. What's original is Tapes 'n Tapes' ability to spin out compelling little mood fantasias, from the spooky isolation of Omaha to the drunken, bluesy instrumental Crazy Eights. The Loon feels eremitic and weird but warm...
...another sweltering afternoon in the most dangerous place in Iraq, and the men of Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 8th Marines, are looking to pick a fight. First Lieut. Grier Jones splits his 30-odd-man platoon into two squads and sets them loose on the streets of Ramadi. They run block to block, covering one another as they sprint across intersections. Insurgents bob their heads out of homes to catch a glimpse of the Marines--"turkey peeking," as the troops call it--a sign that they are preparing to attack."We come out here every day, and we get shot...
...name means "red rose" in Persian, which it does, and "princess" in Hebrew--which had Israeli journalists and linguists scratching their heads.

The win, however, came after the Wildcats had won, 8-0 and 8-4, in the No. 2 and No. 3 doubles positions to claim the first point of the match.“We are struggling a bit in doubles...
...devices at the whim of a researcher has until this week been elusive. Because nanowires also have the ability to direct light, they have potential applications in “optoelectronic” devices, which use light instead of electricity to do computations. Agarwal, working with Professors David G. Grier ’84 at New York University and Hyman Professor of Chemistry Charles M. Lieber at Harvard, among others, found a way to cut, rotate, and fuse hundreds of nanowires in precise patterns. Agarwal’s discovery uses a mechanism called the Holographic Optical Trap, or HOT, invented...
