...Manser separated from two Penan acquaintances near the base of the mountain, saying he would climb it alone. With just a few days of walking, he would have been reunited with his closest Penan friends. But Manser never made that hike. After he was left near Batu Lawi, he was never seen again...
...misty and cool at the top of the mountain. The sisters and their mother breathe it in hard after their hour-long hike, which followed a four-hour drive north from Tokyo, which followed a 12-hour flight from London. Cassie Yukawa, 20, clutches a fistful of wildflowers for the father she last saw when she was four. It was here that Akihisa Yukawa was killed 16 years ago this day, Aug. 12, in a Japan Airlines 747 crash along with 519 others, the worst disaster in history involving a single plane. Weeks after his death, Yukawa's second daughter...
...always, a little silver in an otherwise black, black lining: New home sales rose 4.9 percent in July to 950,000 units, up from a revised 906,000 units in June, according to the Commerce Department.

...Bruins. That would be too easy, too simple. Instead, there’s commuting, walking 25 minutes from your dorm to your chem class on the other side of campus. But that’s not the worst of it; that’s when you have to walk (hike) up Bruin Walk and back to your dorm (after climbing the 76 steps that lead up to it). This spoiled Harvard student thought she might check out the Northwest campus shuttle, running conveniently between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., Monday through Friday. The van, which almost never shows up, takes...
