The Powderpuff game April 4 was described as "one of the most exciting games in the last three years." It was fast-paced and physical.

The Seniors won the coin toss, then got right down to business with a touchdown in the first minute. Jasmine Rubin caught the pass and ran unstoppable from mid-field into the endzone. While the "Senioritas" cheering squad danced and roused the crowd, Rubin ran the ball for the extra point.

PHILADELPHIA — Twenty-five dollars. That's all Sandra Walerski can spend in the Save-a-Lot today for a week's worth of groceries.

Walerski, 47, who lives in Trainer, Pa., travels over the Pennsylvania line to shop in tax-free Delaware — part of a mighty fight to keep her family of six afloat as the hard-time economy grows wide and deep.

Food and gas prices soar while the dollar weakens and employers shed jobs. People like Walerski are among the worst casualties — a rising number of working poor, generally defined as families with one or more workers making no more than twice the poverty level.

Do not do your homework while listening to music.

The above statement is one the student has heard time and time again, from parents, teachers, and, heavens forbid, even his or her own nerdy friends. Of course, the reprimand does not just apply to music, but any other distraction as well, such as television or the telephone or even a friend nearby.

I must admit, I am most certainly guilty of violating the order myself. As I sit at this laptop clicking away on the keyboard, Brahms’ clarinet trio is floating out of the speakers. It can’t hurt, anyway, I reason; this is creative stuff, not…studying and memorization. And it has no lyrics, right? No distraction there.

From wikipedia:
Christiaan Huygens (April 14, 1629 – July 8, 1695) was a Dutch mathematician, astronomer and physicist; born in The Hague as the son of Constantijn Huygens, a friend of Rene Descartes. He studied law and mathematics at the University of Leiden and the College of Orange in Breda before turning to science. Historians commonly associate Huygens with the scientific revolution.
