...Foreign Agents If you're keeping score, 10 foreigners won Golden Globe movie awards, compared with just three Americans: Rourke, WALL-E's Andrew Stanton and Allen (who made Vicky Cristina in Spain because he couldn't raise funds to shoot in the States). You could almost hear the muttering of the locals about their hosts: Don't they know they're the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, not the Hollywood Foreign Press Association?

And they're given to creative basic-cable profanity--frak being BSG's F word of choice...
...ability to levitate objects is not an entirely new thing in physics. Lower the temperature of certain metals and ceramics far enough (-459°F is a good number to shoot for), and they carry electromagnetic charges far more efficiently and for a far longer time than they otherwise would. When the metals are magnetized, they become so powerful that their ability to repel one another can actually allow them to lift heavy objects off the ground. That's the elegant principle behind some kinds of magnetically levitated (maglev) trains. (See the 50 best inventions...

In the tightly contested matchup, last-minute defense made the difference. While allowing the Gauchos to shoot 47 percent from the field on the night—a clip that Harvard can’t expect to allow in a victory—the Crimson held UCSB scoreless in the final two minutes. “They got grizzled by our defense, and we were able...
