...jazzy beat with a positively adorable sincerity. The cycle gets predictable quickly though—a lone skater rolling past a sinister apartment block, a kick-flip down some stairs, then more head-bobbing. Nevertheless, Fiasco brings a nice change of pace; he doesn’t swear, he doesn’t hit women—hell, he might not even be packing a gun. The closest thing there is to conflict here is a shot of him rolling past a scowling group of thugs. The only woman featured in the video isn’t a stripper plying...

...many of us suffer from blind inertia, rarely questioning the path we’ve chosen. But it’s important, I think, to challenge that inertia before it’s too late: It’s for this reason, rather than for any athletic benefit, I swear, that I’m happy to participate in intramurals, even attend Senior Bar.

With the encouragement of some still in positions of military leadership, I offer a challenge to those still in uniform: a leader's responsibility is to give voice to those who can't--or don't have the opportunity to--speak.

...four hits and struck out five in eight scoreless innings, mixing in two variations of his slider with a hard fastball. Haviland struggled to find words for Cole’s recent success. “He’s just...I guess I probably can’t swear,” Haviland said, adding, “I was impressed with him. For a freshman to come out there two games in a row like that—I mean, they didn’t have shot all day.” As temperatures dropped into...
