...shorter, noisier songs are interspersed between their more melodic counterparts. For instance, after two particularly aggressive numbers, the band lines up the album’s centerpiece, a mathcore-lounge tune called “Widower.” The song begins with some jazzy piano playing that grows muddier as Puciato’s vocals crescendo, building into the song’s middle section, a paen to lost love animated by deft tribal drumming. Then, after the obligatory mathcore breakdown, the song heads into the album’s highpoint—when Puciato’s vocals...

...electoral scenario became even muddier just before midnight Tuesday. On the face of it, the decision by Colombia's lower house should be a clear victory for the popular president. It approved by a bill to hold a nationwide referendum on the president's right to a third term. Had lawmakers rejected the measure, Uribe's hopes would have died. Instead, "the Colombian Congress has responded to the popular will of the people," said Interior Minister Fabio Valencia Cossio, who shepherded the bill through the Congress. "It was an act of grandeur." (Read a story about the huge populations displaced...

...results to argue that when bacteria independently develop resistance to the same drug, they likely follow similar, if not identical pathways. To visualize this result, picture Harvard Yard during a rainstorm. While a student might take several paths from Thayer to Sever Hall, a majority of these would be muddier than others. Just as most people will walk on the few paved paths between buildings, organisms will only follow a limited number of paths to a particular adaptation. Soon after their publication, Weinreich’s results were picked up by intelligent design advocate William Dembski. Dembski posted a link...

...rushed, which caused some sloppy entrances and created a slight feeling of insecurity. This impression was perhaps augmented by the fact that the Brandenburg is one of those tried-and-true old faithfuls, one familiar to almost all the audience members, so that any tentative entrances seem that much muddier. In general, though, the concerto was quite solid.
