...pistol. When I asked for a driver, he told me a boy from my own village would drive the motorcycle, the first time I knew that he was part of the organization too." Having studied his target's movements for a week, Abdullah says he rode up behind two soldiers on a motorbike and shot the pillion rider in the back, killing him. The other soldier fired back, hitting Abdullah three times...
Carr’s rise to national prominence was an even more intriguing story than that of the other two backs. As a freshman in 2001, Carr exploded onto the scene, setting the single-game rookie rushing record with 185 yards against Dartmouth. He rode the momentum into his sophomore season, during which he broke the 200-yard rushing barrier twice and compiled 1,085 yards on the season, good enough to earn himself First-Team All-Ivy status...
...years so they didn't hurt themselves. Some couldn't walk because their parents hadn't taught them." Appalled, Tenberken, with support from her Dutch partner Paul Kronenberg, a development aid worker she met in 1997 in a hostel in Lhasa (the capital of the remote Chinese autonomous region), rode to the rescue. She disentangled the reams of red tape the Tibetan authorities threw at her and finally, in May 1998, opened a boarding school for visually impaired children in Lhasa.

...that separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico as a monstrous Category 5 storm with winds approaching 260 km/h. Fortunately, by the time Ivan made landfall in the U.S. state of Alabama, its winds had gentled to 210 km/h - but that was plenty bad enough. Those who rode out the storm told harrowing tales of cringing in the dark and hearing winds that screamed like jet engines. They emerged to a nightmare of destruction - yachts hurled into trees, houses and bridges swept from their pilings, and motels and condominiums smashed to smithereens. In the Florida Panhandle tornadoes, spun...
With surf forecasting in place and the new tow-in technique being steadily refined, the records have started to pile up: in 1998 Ken Bradshaw from Sunset Beach in Hawaii rode the first wave over 60 ft.; in 2002 Brazilian Carlos Burle surfed a 68-ft. swell; and this year Cabrinha reached the 70-ft. threshold. Sharp says storm patterns have been relatively subdued in the past few years, but he thinks that when the next El Nino warming of the Pacific happens, adding 20% to 30% to the power of storms likely to impact prime surfing sites, surfers will...
