...Madick the loss—in the ninth.Perhaps no one but Madick will ever know how much the leg bruise affected her in the latter stages of that NCAA game. Only a few people witnessed the pitcher limp into the post-game press conference with a big bag of ice strapped to her leg and no excuses. She credited Hofstra’s sluggers and blamed herself for missing pitches. Then she limped off.She came back the next day to hurl seven innings of one-run ball as the Crimson was eliminated from the playoffs in a 1-0 loss...
...Phoenix's case, another tale is just beginning. The ship will soon start to sample the frozen soil of the Martian pole, where a possible abundance of ice indicates a possible abundance of water and could--in theory--mean a little bit of life. If such a discovery is made, that news too will reach us 15 min. later--though odds are, no one will gripe about the wait...

...NASA should be so lucky as to find a button-nosed snowman in the Martian arctic. A more serious hope is that the $557 million Phoenix will help determine whether organic life is possible on the planet by securing the first sample of Martian ice for testing. Although images of the landing site, a nearly featureless plain marked by polygon-shaped cracks, may not dazzle jaded space buffs, scientists are thrilled. "I know it looks like a parking lot," said principal investigator Peter Smith, "but there's ice under that surface. This is a scientist's dream...
...scoop, edged with pronglike "ripper tines," is designed to crunch into the tough polar permafrost. NASA's plan is to dig trenches about 19 in. (.5 m) into the surface, a depth where scientists believe ice meets soil, and haul a sample onto the spacecraft. There, an instrument will heat the soil in tiny ovens, checking the resulting vapors for water and carbon compounds. An on-board chemistry lab with dual microscopes will add water to the sample and analyze the spectral and electrochemical results to check acidity, salt levels, and ion concentrations...
