...started to happen—the Sox crept back in the ninth to tie the score as Mickelson began to make a late charge on the back nine—tying Els at -8 with two holes left to play. As if we were in some kind of a parallel universe, both games mirrored each other; David Ortiz just missed a home run to end it in the ninth inning as Mickelson just missed a number of birdie opportunities early in the round. Then in the bottom of the 12th, Ortiz stepped to the plate and crushed one over...
...We’re recommending that courses develop parallel training in public speaking, oral presentation, and we look at pedagogically imaginative ways for students to develop these skills, like implementing mini-conferences at the end of the courses, staging debates, [and] requiring short polished presentations,” Huth says. “Like the work on writing, we see this as something that can be infused, or injected into courses that are already at Harvard...
...observance a bit--will be the ongoing impact of The Passion of the Christ. In addition to attending church services, many will fill the plush pews at their local cinemas to absorb--some for the first time, others for the second or fifth--Gibson's graphic celluloid sermon in parallel with their pastors' talks.

Also in the mix are Jake’s clearheaded siblings (Jodi Dick and Kaolin Bass) and a trio of daffy parents (Francesca Carlin, Tug Coker, and Laura Nordin...
...that theory to rest--and nailed down the presence of water for good--were largely conducted on one 10-in.-high, 65-ft.-wide rock outcropping in the Meridiani Planum that mission scientists dubbed El Capitan. The surface of the formation is made up of fine layers--called parallel laminations--that are often laid down by minerals settling out of water. The rock is also randomly pitted with cavities called vugs that are created when salt crystals form in briny water and then fall out or dissolve away...
