...hard-fought, sorely-needed win. The Crimson held a seemingly comfortable lead late in the third, 12-6, but the Terriers clawed their way back into the game. With less than a minute remaining in regulation and the game tied at 12, co-captain Vivian Liao launched the game-winner.“Scoring a goal with the last shot was pretty exciting,” Snyder said. “But it was probably more exciting than we would’ve liked.”MacLaughlin once again tore it up in the pool, scoring five goals...
...your heart? Are you ready to be my sledgehammer?" The hammers of hell beat in the hearts of these frosty folk; for Snow Angels, like a bunch of other films set in cold climates (The Ice Storm, The Sweet Hereafter, Affliction, A Simple Plan, Fargo, this year's Sundance winner Frozen River), is about people who will do anything to get warm, even if it means getting burned.

...well-coordinated science and technology policy among developed countries; a followup report to be released this month is expected to reinforce that judgment. And critics at the conference said Washington's neglect of this crucial area is exacerbated by its scientific spending at home; AAAS president David Baltimore, the winner of the 1975 Nobel Prize in Medicine, was particularly scathing about what he said would be a 13% real term decrease in the U.S.' health research budget from 2004 through the 2009 proposal, at a time when the "opportunities in biomedical research outstrip any other moment in history...
