...Juliane Kaminski of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, began exploring the verbal gifts of dogs when she saw a television show about a border collie named Rico--an animal that to all appearances could fetch dozens of different objects in response to their names. Kaminski put Rico to a rigorous test and confirmed that the dog could learn names for more than 200 toys, balls and other items. "I think Rico is a highly talented dog," says Kaminski, "but we've also found new dogs that do what Rico...
...says Pickles. That hasn't stopped the Conservatives and other centrist parties from falling into bouts of my-policy-is-tougher-than-yours posturing. The Conservative Party also raised eyebrows with its choice of allies in the European Parliament: a new right-wing grouping chaired by Polish MEP Michal Kaminski, a former member of two hard-right parties.

Kaminski, accustomed to tonier parties as Steven Spielberg's cinematographer, sought to wave off the low-budget crowd. "All of the offers I'm getting to work for $3,000 a week," Kaminski said. "I can't do that...
...Rollins drew a foul on a basket in the low post. Up 40-36, the Crimson entered into a back and forth game of basketball with the Bobcats. After trailing for the entire game, Quinnipiac took its first lead of the game on a three-pointer from freshman Courtney Kaminski. Not to be outdone, junior Lindsay Hallion provides a spark for the ailing Crimson. Coming off a screen from senior Christiana Lackner, Hallion landed a jumper to tie things up at 48. Hallion then followed up with a steal and layup to push Harvard back out in front. The teams...
