...Radcliffe Crew at the event. Not only was a large portion of the squad competing, we had a very competitive group of athletes qualifying for the finals. In the open collegiate division, Kristi Stoddard and Cecile Ulbrich qualified with 2500 meter times of 9.01.6 and 9.05.5 in their respective heats. Stoddard rowed a time of 8.53 to finish second in the final only to a Canadian entrant, placing her at the top of all U.S. collegiate women on the ergometer. Light-weight Aoibheann Sweeney's heat time of 9.33.5 qualified her for the world lightweight final competition, in which...

Somewhere in northern Ohio, the train rolls to an unscheduled stop on a siding, and Fowler steps off into the summer heat to clear his head.

The missile, drawn by the heat of the flare, follows it and not the plane. But modern SAMs are equipped with filters that can cancel out radiation from a simple flare. Air Force One is believed to carry flares that burn brighter and longer in the infrared frequencies that the SAMs' sensors follow...
...missiles are heat seekers. Air Force One must also be protected against radar-directed air-to-air missiles, like the French-built R-530s that Colombian air force jets are known to carry. These rockets spot their prey with radar beams and follow the echoes toward the target. One way to divert a missile flying along a radar beam is to fire off a burst of metallic chaff particles. They cause the missile's radar guidance system to go haywire amid a blizzard of electronic gibberish...
...Avila (Andy Garcia) if Avila doesn't quash the case. No question about it, Internal Affairs is a nasty, sometimes brutal, piece of work. But Gere is hypnotic, writer Henry Bean's construction is entertainingly intricate, and director Mike Figgis knows how to turn on a subtle, authentic erotic heat...
