...Rybalko were awarded the Harold S. Ullen Trophy for demonstrating leadership and sportsmanship and for emphasizing team cooperation, a crucial factor in the Crimson’s successful season.GOLDEN RECEIVER Freshman Hayley Bock (left) shined in her rookie year, but it was senior catcher Erin Halpenny who had the standout season. Batting at a .274 clip, she pounded out 37 hits, 11 for extra-bases, and picked up a spot on the All-Ivy honorable mention team. Her leadership, along with that of co-captain Michelle McAteer, was invaluable to a team that relied heavily on younger players, especially...
...confidence soared as it prepped to meet the Tigers.

It's got sumptuous special effects and, finally, a mournful wisdom about love, honor and death. Also a standout was Climates, from Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan. This minor-key étude of love, sex and selfishness used minimalist strategies to reveal the shifting emotional allegiances of a college professor, played with gruff appeal by the director. Shortbus, a U.S. romantic comedy set in a New York City sex salon...
Classes like this one represent a growing trend in travel to destinations including Italy, France and Mexico. Within Mexico, the state of Oaxaca is the culinary standout. Celebrated for its complex stews, bold flavors, unusual ingredients and intricate cooking techniques, the area has long attracted gourmets from around the world (the most daring will munch on chapulines--fried grasshoppers). Cabrera began offering lessons after getting repeated requests for recipes from travelers who ate in her family's restaurant, La Olla. But what began seven years ago as an occasional class has turned into a semiweekly event often sold...
