The Washington Huskies smashed the Logan Colts at the women's varsity volleyball game last week, with a score of 3 matches to 0.

The Colts started off weak, allowing their opponent to score 7 consecutive points due to Logan's mistakes. It was obvious within a few minutes into the game that this would not be an easy match. Logan coach Danielle Anderson must have sensed it; that's why she quickly called for a time-out. The Colts emerged from time-out with hopes of turning the game around, but they did not prevail. The Huskies continued to block hit after hit from every angle, which put them in the lead 15-8.

SAN FRANCISCO _ Researchers at the University of California-San Francisco are seeking volunteers for a study in which newborns will be fed live bacteria in hopes it will keep them asthma-free.

Sounds bizarre, but it's part of a growing field known as probiotics that some scientists think will play an increasingly important role in good health.

LOCOROCO
For: PSP
From: Sony Computer Entertainment
ESRB Rating: Everyone

There is no easy way to fairly describe "LocoRoco." But hey, here goes nothing.

In "LocoRoco," you star as a LocoRoco, which is basically a gelatinous blob with a big smile on its face. To move around, you use the shoulder buttons, which tilt the field of play either clockwise or counterclockwise and allow the LocoRoco to roll forward, backward and through all manner of interesting obstacles and hazards (imagine your typical platforming game). If you want the LocoRoco to jump, simply press both shoulder buttons and let one go.

JERUSALEM—For two years, author Sayed Kashua, an Arab-Israeli, has been writing a popular weekly newspaper column for one of Israel's largest Hebrew-language newspapers, Haaretz. The column often takes a lighthearted look at discrimination, racism and the challenges facing the Arab minority in this largely Jewish nation.
