...because the highest immediately follows: three ballet-contortionists. They gracefully destroy the laws of physics, combining in artful permutations that no one should try at home unless bending backward and touching your butt with your head is as easy as rolling over in bed. The evening's most incredible image: Natasha Patterson, a 13-year-old from Marin County, rests her chest on the stage, her elbows under her chin, as her legs - it's painful for me even to type this - Walk in a Circle Around Her. The audience gasps in a mixture of wonder and horror...
...Like Facebook, your Google profile doesn't display any private information unless you've explicitly added it. You can share info with friends and family and control who sees what. There's no Google profile feature that lets you "friend" another user - at least not yet. But there is a "Send a message" feature that lets anyone with a Google account e-mail you without revealing your e-mail address. Another feature called "My places" displays all the cities you've entered on your profile and your current location on a map. A Google map, of course...

Probably not worth it unless you’re into dance, but if you are, it’ll be a good show. If opera’s more your thing, head to The Fiery Furnace, an original opera that retells a biblical episode (Adams Pool Theatre, 8 p.m., free). Sounds intense, but there is a reception afterward that promises to expose you to opera opportunities at Harvard in case you’re interested...
...there are some kids here who didn't seem to have done anything particularly special in high school, yet they still made it here. They’re great. Maybe you’ll met some of them at the Quincy Grille Games Night (Quincy Grille, 10 p.m., free unless you want food), where you can unproductively spend your time playing Jenga, Settlers of Catan, Uno, and more. There’s even a chance to win free scallion pancakes or potstickers...
