...fancy stick handling, beating two more Engineers’ defenders. Finally, she capped it off by throwing one fake and burying the puck behind RPI goalie Emily Ford. Similarly, against Union, Vaillancourt took a pass from Chu, sped by the entire defense, and then wrested the puck to top shelf on the right, over the shoulder of the Dutchwomen’s goalie, Alex Zirbel. The goals were reminiscent of some of her better displays of puck control from her rookie season two years ago, when she registered 25 scores. “[Vaillancourt] pretty much just picked up where...
...first goal, which came at 6:30 of the first period and gave the team a 2-0 lead. Vaillancourt took a lead pass in stride from co-captain Julie Chu on the left side, used her breakaway speed to accelerate past the defense, and pinpointed a wrister top shelf over goalie Alex Zirbel’s left shoulder. She beat Zirbel again at the 9:56 mark with a lethal slapshot, and completed the trifecta by finishing a rebound down low. Harvard had no trouble dispatching Union, grabbing a lead just 19 seconds into the game and coasting from...
...guest appearances that Legend used on his first album to help establish himself as a top-shelf artist are definitely missed in this attempt.

This would accomplish two main objectives that anyone who cherishes truth and justice will appreciate. First of all, it would help craft “global citizens” much more quickly, and much more cheaply, than any of the plans Harvard currently has on its shelf. While some administrators seem to think that knowledge of advanced calculus or cellular biology are critical for citizens in our modern and [insert cliché here] world, basic knowledge of current events seems to be far more critical, ie if you don’t know where North Korea is, why it wants...
This isn't to say that she provided me with no religious instruction. In her mind, a working knowledge of the world's great religions was a necessary part of any well-rounded education. In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the Chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such...
