Given this remarkable mix of acceptance and skepticism, it's not so surprising, then, that Henry Bauer, the editor of S.S.E.'s journal and a dean emeritus at Virginia Tech, wrote the definitive treatise debunking Immanuel Velikovsky, whose best-selling books in the 1950s argued that Old Testament miracles were triggered by close encounters with Venus. But it's also not surprising that that same Henry Bauer has published papers arguing that scientists have ignored powerful evidence that the Loch Ness Monster is real...
...execs at the firm say wouldn't have been the case five years ago. Reebok has also shifted marketing dollars to new media, partly at the expense of the TV budget. "If you look at youth and how they consume media, TV is still an important part of the mix, but especially for young males it's becoming a smaller part," says Brian Povinelli, vice president of integrated marketing for Reebok...

Hopefully the Yale crew team is still somewhere, lost on Worcester’s Lake Quinsigamond, sparing itself another merciless whooping at the hands of its clear superiors. And if not, haven’t you learned your lesson...
...Brian Burton's life was turned upside down by a joke. As a composer-producer-DJ working under the name Danger Mouse (often in a mouse costume to ease his stage fright), Burton had a solid career on music's experimental fringe when it hit him: mix the Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album, and you get a gray album. "I was cleaning my house at the time," says Burton. "It wasn't my deepest thought ever." Still, he spent three cloistered weeks in his bedroom translating snippets of Beatles music into hip-hop rhythm and synchronizing...
