...Despite the positive end result, the Harvard heavyweight varsity endured the same troubles off the start that have plagued the Crimson all season. At the San Diego Crew Classic in April, the varsity eight dropped almost a length off the start. It was a similar if less drastic tale in almost all of the dual races this season, and the same sluggishness struck again on Saturday...
...Crimson gave up half a length to the No. 6 Huskies in the first 30 strokes, and a particularly strong Northeastern varsity built the lead to three-quarters of a length by the 500-meter mark. After the settle, Harvard relied—as it has all season—on a powerful, methodical base speed to creep up on the Huskies...
...franchise's Next Gen detailing quickly fade into the background, and it soon feels like just another day in Liberty City.

GTA: IV has a clever system that allows taxis to instantly take you across long distances. The problem with this is, now I'm furious when I can't find a cab. Even in a driving game...

Despite their success, even the biggest fans of box office hits such as “Superbad” would concede that perhaps the most shocking things about these films is their length, with many of them clocking in either at or around a convention-busting two-hour running time. But people still don’t seem to be complaining. That’s because the Apatow humor aesthetic is founded upon the riff. Riffs are all about timing and sequence...
