With the recent release of their cheekily-monikered "Elf-Titled" album, the Advantage have brought legitimacy to a style of music dubbed "Nintendocore," becoming the first group in this genre to take covers of classic 8-bit theme songs past the LAN-party circuit. Featuring drummer Spencer Seim from post-hardcore savants Hella, the group legitimizes the project in part with their impressive underground cred. The songs on the album range from spazzed-out level select ditties to "Kraid's Lair," a haunting boss theme from the classic NES game "Metroid." Regardless of origin, all the tracks burst...
...field. A past president of the distinguished Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, he has written or co-written some 300 peer-reviewed articles and 27 books.

The intrigued scientist placed popcorn kernels near the tube and then an egg, watching in amazement as the kernels popped and the yolk splattered. Spencer realized that exposure to low-density microwave energy could cook food quickly, and he created the first commercial microwave a year later. Smaller models followed, revolutionizing a certain kind of cooking...
...Within the confines of his office in the early days of the controversy, Summers met regularly with at least four key staffers: A. Clayton Spencer, then associate vice president for higher education policy and arguably Summers’ closest adviser; Marc Goodheart, secretary to the Harvard Corporation, the University’s top governing board; Jason M. Solomon ’93-’95, then Summers’ chief of staff; and Lucie McNeil, then the president’s press secretary. (Solomon and McNeil both stepped down before the end of the school year, citing reasons unrelated...
