...shield. The Israeli air force is retooling its planes for new, U.S.-made 600-pound 'bunker-buster' bombs. Israel also found out that its vaunted Merkava tanks were vulnerable to missile attack, and experts are now experimenting with a new radar device that tracks and shoots incoming projectiles in mid-air. And the Israelis are keeping an eye out for goat-herders and donkeys loaded with suspicious objects...
...logic goes, we’re angry because we drink, too much. But “rage” isn’t just showing up after scorpion bowls and beer kegs. Road rage plagues the highway and air rage is only the latest response to tightened regulations aboard mid-air flights. Passengers are increasingly dishing out dollars for the airline alcohol, speaking abusively to flight attendants, and behaving erratically in response to strict restrictions. (I’ll be quite upset too if they take away my face moisturizer.) We expect rolled down car windows, tailgating, and hand gestures...
...last week to the team's fourth straight snowboard gold, which would have given the U.S. a clean sweep. Her lead was so big she could have snowshoed to the finish. But on the second- to-last jump she hot-dogged it, clutching the rail of her board in mid-air, and botched the landing so badly she fell and got silver instead.

Both can land the top women's move, the 900 (two-and-a-half spins in mid-air), with ease. And they do it while eyeing their antagonist. "We'll be like hanging out at the top, and I'll say, like, 'So you're going to push me tonight?'? says Teter, who is friends with Bleiler off the pipe. "And she'll be like, 'Yeah...
...call came in the 42nd minute, with the Crimson holding a 1-0 lead and controlling play against Dartmouth. Freshmen midfielder John Stamatis, after already receiving a yellow card earlier in the half for a rough tackle, rose for a head-ball along with a Big Green player. In mid-air, the two collided, with Stamatis’ head coming down and colliding with the Dartmouth midfielder. After the referees stepped in to break up a near fight between the two teams, and the two players staggered off the turf, the head referee gave Stamatis his second yellow card. Both...
