...Perhaps it’s not surprising that (like “The Pursuit of Happyness”) American audiences loved 21. The film scored a relative victory at the box office, pulling in $24 million on its opening weekend. Presently, its U.S. gross climbs beyond twice that. Whether the film would have done as well embracing the idiosyncrasies of its real-life prototype, we won’t ever know—though, given the trend toward quirky American filmmaking, it might have been worth a shot...
...next two games to take the first set, Omodele-Lucien made a gesture to the crowd indicating, “cut the music.” Omodele-Lucien got down a break in the second set before mustering the energy to take home the win. He broke his opponent twice in the second set to win 6-4, 6-3 and take home the Crimson’s clinching fourth win.“Aba handled [the crowd] really well,” fellow freshman Alexei Chijoff-Evans said. “I’m just glad I didn?...
...this sanctified site of reason and cutting-edge scientific progress, we can find the cure for AIDS, feed the world, and map the genome of every living creature.

The respondents answered 11 questions about whether they had been discriminated against in the context of common life experiences - including applying to college or for a scholarship, renting or buying a home in a neighborhood they desired, applying for a bank loan or dealing with police. Participants answered nine additional questions about everyday experiences, such...
...Many foreign observers feared these elections-postponed twice already-would fail. Nepal is a country still in the shadow of a bloody decade-long civil war fought between Maoist rebels and the monarchy's security forces, interrupted, albeit briefly, by the 2001 massacre of eleven members of the royal family allegedly at the hands of the king's own son. A peace deal brokered two years ago brought the remnants of the monarchy to its knees and the Maoists into the political mainstream, but efforts to further the process along have been marred throughout by political squabbling and vigilante violence...
