...HALL, director of the Boise, Idaho, parks department, on firing two temporary employees at the city's ice rink after they made a midnight fast-food run in a pair of Zambonis, traveling 1.5 miles in the $75,000 vehicles, whose top speed is 5 m.p.h...
Finally, and for many of us irresistibly, there's the irrational way we react to risky behavior that also confers some benefit. It would be a lot easier to acknowledge the perils of smoking cigarettes or eating too much ice cream if they weren't such pleasures. Drinking too much confers certain benefits too, as do risky sex, recreational drugs and uncounted other indulgences.

...Harvard women's hockey team easily dispatched host Quinnipiac, 6-1, at the Northford Ice Pavilion on Friday night. The Crimson (8-1-0, 8-1-0 ECAC) received goals from five different sources as it trounced the Bobcats (4-10-0, 3-7-0) in a messy conference affair.

I thought I was going to be the cool mom and travel to Europe with my baby and take him to Fenway Park. But even at minor league games, everyone's throwing peanuts at each other...
...sleepy eastern town of Guiria, the local governor, a Chavez ally, was quick to blame the violence on "a group of people who want to destabilize the country." But when asked, fishermen said the conflict was far from political. They just wanted to be able to use their ice plant again, they said, since the port authority had shut it down. And while the opposition did paralyze the oil industry during strikes in 2002 and 2003, the national oil company has continued to blame accidents at its installations on "sabotage" rather than concede that they could be company blunders...
