...album. Last year’s delivery, “Guero,” was met with mixed reviews—some thought Beck had run out of innovative ideas and was forced to revisit the sounds of his previous albums, while others called the album not a mere re-visitation but a fresh and creative re-invention...
...When “beginning”-level classes are really for already talented students, they cease to be introductory, and they no longer give novices the chance to try something new. The mere fact that so many of the fine arts classes are audition-based or require a portfolio is enough to scare many students away from applying. An intro-level class should be geared to anyone who wants to try their hand at a new subject, not only to those with extensive experience coming...
...electrical cables that need to be configured individually for different customers (so the explanation went), and that was proving far more complex than anticipated. Last week, the story changed.

That Saturday, Siwula tallied a mere 15 rushes as Cornell lost again. Last week, Jimmy Boy finally figured it out and Luke made like Si-mule-a, toting it 32 times on his way to racking up 162 yards and a TD. And guess what? The Big Red picked up its first victory. Coincidence? I think...
