...less exciting band. Yuki Chikudate, the female lead vocalist, is known for her impressive vocal range, but on this album, she showily displays her talent without varying her style or expressing any real growth since “Citrus.” Her light and airy voice, somewhat reminiscent of Regina Spektor, never seems to descend from the highest octaves. On “In the Sky,” one of the album’s best examples of her limited vocal experimentation, she groups her phrases into short bursts, shooting up the octave over and over...
...close-knit audience remains more or less the same; there are multiple people who have been to all 34 festivals. For a stranger to the sci-fi community, the overnight festival—which took place this year from last Sunday to Monday—can appear somewhat inscrutable. Little seems to link the bizarre assortment of films, ranging from the most camp B movies of the 1950s (“I Married a Monster from Outer Space”) to new releases (“Chrysalis”) to, perhaps strangest of all, mass-marketed Hollywood fare...
...this, then, an equivocal triumph for Obama? I don’t think so. In the final calculation, what passed on Friday night was a somewhat reduced version of what Obama first submitted to the House.

You can argue with Obama’s priorities, but you can’t argue that his effort at bipartisanship reshaped the final product...
...Baum. Through exceptionally reported slices of life, Nine Lives reveals New Orleans as a vibrant, otherworldly land - a city in its own orbit. Beyond all the death, destruction and lives upended, one of the great jolts of the storm was that it forced a city that has always been somewhat out of step with the rest of American life to confront itself, in all its quirks and vulnerabilities. Baum's is a compassionate account of a most unique American city's long, strange journey...
...conversion percentage has been greater than or equal to that of its opponents. PENALTY KILLThe Big Red outshot the Crimson 44-24 on the night. The shot differential transpired entirely in the second and third periods, ironically the same time as when Harvard leapt ahead on the scoreboard. The somewhat oppositional statistics may be justified by the Crimson’s superb defense, which killed all seven of Cornell’s power play opportunities of the game. Anchoring Harvard’s defensive efforts was sophomore goaltender Ryan Carroll, who stopped 42 shots en route to the team?...
