...season on the losing end of a shutout in the season opener against Sacred Heart University, dropping three straight games to the Pioneers (4-3) in the Pitt Center on Sunday. Although the Crimson (0-1) failed to capture a set, the women’s squad kept pace with its opponent throughout most of its first game. “At end of day they were more consistent then we were,” junior co-captain Katherine Kocurek said. “We had a lot of fight and a bit more diversity than [the Pioneers...
...Last year’s Ivy League Rookie of the Year, sophomore Katherine Sheeleigh, led the Crimson’s offensive attack with three shots.

It's like [being] a martial artist. You walk down the street and it's like, "Don't mess with him, man. He'll kick your head...
...Robert Rodriguez-Frank Miller Sin City. On his few forays into late-night talk (one visit with David Letterman sticks in my mind), the host would breathe a sigh of relief to find Rourke roguishly charming; the bull hadn't demolished the china. But mostly his rep kept him MIA. When he came up for the role of Randy, he recalled in Venice, Aronofsky told him: "You're a really great actor, and you've just f--ked up your career for 15 years and nobody wants to hire...
