...We’re further along than we were at the same time last year...I thought overall, there [were] a lot of good things.” Proving their lofty preseason ranking was no fluke, the Huskies jumped out to an early lead, netting two goals in a span of just over ten minutes. UConn’s first score of its home opener came at 5:23, when a Husky free kick attempt was passed off to an attacking teammate, senior Lauren Ebert, who took the cross and quickly found the back of the net. Crimson senior keeper...
...Journal of Archeological Science in 2004, "the patina covering the letters was artificially prepared, most probably with hot water, and deposited onto the underlying letters." The article states: "There is no evidence for the existence of water with such low d18O values in the area during this time span. The range of rain and groundwater d18O values in the Judean Mountains region during the last 3,000 years could not have been lower than approx -6 permil." Pressed by defense counsel, Bar-Matthews declared that an isotopic value lower than -6.5 permil for the ossuary was "impossible...

His brothers became the sweetened distillate of their best days and handsomest poses, while he made his way through more-mottled seasons, merely human, with all that humanity entails - the mistakes, misjudgments, weaknesses, appetites and fears. Could it be that the real Kennedy curse was not early death but long life, suffering...
...probably cannot afford this luxury. The easiest route is to find one of Harvard’s many common rooms and hope the game is on. Of course, this approach can be problematic for a number of reasons. For starters, it only takes one student addicted to C-SPAN to miss a Patriots game. Instead of giving him an atomic wedgie, though, use the dorm e-mail list to stake your claim to the television ahead of time. Unfortunately, the prospect of watching the game with total dunderheads remains, but you must remember: no sacrifice, no glory...
