Berman--who was a vital to the Crimson attack all afternoon--dribbled right and ripped a drive that seemed to be headed into the top of the net. But once again, it was not meant to be, as her blast was soared just inches above the post...
Surely the freshman class will play a vital role as the season gets underway...
...this year two divisions received that ranking, while, for the first time in recent memory, no division received the highest ranking.

Pressed by the media, Pentagon officials acknowledged that the Army...
...that's just the beginning. Within a few decades, nanotechnologists predict, they will be creating machines that can do just about anything, as long as it's small. Germ-size robots will not just measure internal vital signs; they will also organize the data with molecular microcomputers and broadcast the results to a mainframe (implanted under your skin, perhaps), where the data can be analyzed for signs of disease. Nanomachines could then be sent to scour the arteries clean of dangerous plaque buildup, or aid the immune system in mopping up stray cancer cells, or even, a la Fantastic Voyage...
