...brilliant man. I’m not saying I’m the ideal person, either. I’m saying that we have at Harvard College an ideal of a broad education that encompasses many different areas, and I think if one speaks to President Summers at length about some areas he’s not familiar with, he shows that he hasn’t really had the same kind of liberal arts education as we are trying to provide you people...
...music, nothing can kill a band's image faster than trying too hard. Fortunately Young and Sexy has avoided that fate: The five-piece band from Vancouver already knows exactly what it does best. Its third full-length release, Panic When You Find It, is a technically superb, 60s-influenced pop-rock album--and doesn't pretend to be more. There is no overarching theme in the often dark lyrics that songwriter Paul Hixon Pittman says he "usually think[s] about a year later," long after he's written them. Pittman's favorite song on the disc, 5/4, was named...
...their melodic lines.Similar restrictions on the early 8-bit composers led to similar innovations. The usage of the multi-metered composition keeps the audience from tiring quickly of what is by technical necessity a short tune (most non-medley tracks on the Advantage album are under two minutes in length).

While this music shares a parallel creation to that of the Baroque...
Just before the opening of the Torino Games, the two top officials of the Canadian Olympic Committee (C.O.C.), Chris Rudge and Michael Chambers, each talked at some length about efforts to boost their nation's medal totals. With that out of the way, the assembled media then homed in on the real story of the moment: Wayne Gretzky and his possible connection to an alleged North American sports-gambling ring. Should Gretzky, the executive director of Canadian men's hockey, stay away from Torino? If the Great One did show up, would his (unsubstantiated) connections to the controversy tarnish...
...service Vongo provides seems so obvious it's a wonder it's taken this long for anyone to offer it. You pay $10 per month, and can download as many movies as you want. Each feature-length film takes 20 minutes to a half hour to download via a typical cable-modem connection. Surprisingly, the video quality is as good as a DVD, crisp enough even when stretched across the full 15-in. screen of a laptop...
