...Rookie Matt Jones finished things off with an impressive kill and service ace, giving Harvard its first set victory. “We were down 2-0, and really our guys just buckled down,” Baise said. “Mentally, it was one of our strongest efforts of the year. It’s not easy to come down from 2-0. To the credit of our players, we climbed our way back into that match.” Weissbourd once again had another impressive showing, registering 31 kills and a career-high 12-block performance...
...That's quite some claim. Currently at its strongest against the dollar and euro since last fall, the krone is set for a "sustained appreciation" over the next year and a half, according to HSBC. The main reason: Norway's budget and current-account surpluses are the biggest among nations with the 10 most traded currencies.

The distortion...
...elementary lyrical content with a reserved aplomb that salvages a handful of good tunes. Gifted with an eerie and reverberating baritone reminiscent of Ian Curtis, McVeigh has an uncanny knack for delivering the most vacuous lyrics with commendable seriousness and brooding passion. The title track, while arguably the strongest song on the album and the one with the most commercial appeal, sounds at times like the pubescent diary entries of a lovesick and paranoid teenager: “He said to lose my life or lose my love / That’s the nightmare I’ve been running...
