When spring arrives in Europe, campy pop and sultry ballads can't be far behind. This year, Athens will host the 51st annual Eurovision, the Continent-wide song contest that we say we hate but watch anyway. Here's a sneak peak at some acts hoping to make the May 20 finale, with odds calculated by the gambling site Sky Bet. Finland: Lordi Hard Rock Hallelujah. Prepare for the day of rockening. Some Finns aren't convinced this heavy-metal band, decked out like a group of J.R.R. Tolkien refugees, should represent their placid Nordic nation. But chainsaw-wielding Lordi...

In those days, I boasted an impressive array of pitches: slow and slower. I was more concerned with location, working the corners of the super-wide strike zone and making sure I didn’t walk the runny-nosed number eight hitter who had absolutely no intention of moving the bat from his shoulder...
Though Monday’s student walkout in support of undocumented immigrants drew hundreds of protestors to a rally in front of University Hall, a follow-up strategy session last night drew just ten students. The Students Taking On Poverty (STOP) campaign, a nation-wide organization which was founded at Harvard in the fall of 2004, hosted the discussion, which was meant to suggest ways in which Harvard could help illegal immigrants. “In September, at our first solution session, we had about 80 people.” said STOP Co-Director Chaz M.
