...back of the net. Behind the cage, Martin challenged her opponent one-on-one—rolleing the crease on the left side and faking for a goal to make the score 10-4. Martin’s goal broke Virginia’s scoring streak and changed the tone of the game, showcasing the resilient talents of the Crimson. Harvard appeared to be re-energized, especially sophomore Jess Halpern, who bounced back from yesterday’s scoreless game against Penn to account for all of the Crimson’s last four tallies. Not only did Harvard perform...
...counterspin is also true. As Obama's trip enters its final turn, with a whirlwind tour of two Turkish metropolises, the president has found his considerable success at setting a new tone for international relations repeatedly frustrated by the harsh reality of how hard the job is. Despite new agreements for international support of the war effort in Afghanistan, victory against Al Qaeda remains a distant, difficult, long-range goal, with the military onus remaining on U.S. combat troops.

At a joint appearance with German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Baden-Baden on Friday, a German reporter asked Obama about his "grand designs" for NATO. "I don't come bearing grand designs," Obama said, scrapping the leadership role the U.S. maintained through the Cold War. "I'm here to listen, to share ideas and to jointly, as one of many NATO allies, help shape...
...West, “Nothing to Worry About” is an elation, a nearly perfectly-constructed hip-hop influenced indie-pop dance song with a nonsensical yet addicting chorus. “Lay it Down” marks the other high point of the record. With its jaunty tone and insolent chorus of “Hey, shut the fuck up boy / You’re starting to piss me off,” it acts as the stylistic twin to “Nothing to Worry About.” But just when you’re starting...
