...probably the weirdest organized sport you've never heard of. Dubbed sport stacking, this rapid-fire competition could at first glance be mistaken for some peculiar carnival game. Players are tasked with arranging 12 lightweight plastic cups into various formations; a stacking kit comes with a touch-pad timer and cups that have a trio of holes in the bottom to reduce air resistance. At slower speeds, it seems easy enough: build up pyramids and break them down in a predetermined sequence. But as the game has become increasingly popular--some 15,000 schools and recreation centers worldwide have bought...

...remains a must-attend event for theater professionals across the country. Even with a troubled economy, attendance this year was up over last year. And if the selection of new plays was creatively a mixed bag, for this first-timer it was a stimulating weekend.

...confidence in our defense; we just didn’t play our A game today,” Harvard coach John Tillman said. Facing its largest deficit of the season, the Crimson’s offense came alive. Vaughn assisted senior midfielder Nick Sapia on a one-timer from the right wing, and freshman attacker Jeff Cohen found Gibbons 15 yards in front of the net for a ripped shot past Schneider. Schneider, however, was not to be beaten again. Again and again, whenever Harvard threatened, the Minuteman goalie stymied its attack. “We ran into a goalie...
