...clouds had mostly cleared above Springfield, allowing the sun to shine bright on this capital city and nearly mask the devastation of powerful storms that spawned hail, fierce thunderstorms and twisters that ravaged large areas south and west of Springfield, where homes were leveled, a hotel roof popped off and electrical poles and trees busted like twigs...
...unlike the United States Postal Service, the Harvard ski team has been known to deliver through rain, sleet, or snow—or hail, lighting, and maybe even some unnerving gusts of wind. A weekend characterized by unpredictable weather saw the Crimson alpine and nordic teams finish in ninth place at the Williams Carnival, held at Prospect Mountain, Vt., and Jiminy Peak, Mass. The ninth-place finish in the 11-team field was the team’s fourth in as many events this season, a level of consistency that has placed higher expectations on a young but talented Harvard...
...which Geographic owns rights. Photos of six pages supposedly from the tractate were sent several years ago to Charles Hedrick, a scholar with Missouri State University who has attempted to translate and analyze them. But Roberty claims Hedrick's efforts are flawed in that the first four pages actually hail from a different tract bound in the same leather cover.

Weighing just 60 grams, the Thump 2 is a pair of shades with a difference: it features a built-in MP3 player with enough capacity for about 240 songs. Style-wise, the latest Thump is a sleeker version of its predecessor: it takes inspiration from Oakley's Gascan range of sunglasses, and features a graphics-free, black iridium finish that will look as good on the street as it does on the ski slope...
...bizarre turns of phrase that make him loveable. The Tortoise faithful receive a more familiar sound, missing out instead on the studio experimentation that brings computerized complexity to their deft instrumentation. It would be hard to satisfy traditional fans (if any exist) of either of these bands, as they hail from opposite sides of the indie-musical spectrum. Oldham, who often relies on bare, folk-like musical backing for his back-country confessions, is here nudged towards the technologically deviant complexity of Tortoise, who are in turn obliged to accommodate Oldham’s tendency for a quieter style...
