Where have all the snowmen gone?
January 29Well, it sure took long enough. It took the months of November and December, as well as 22 moderately warm days into January, before any flakes of snow graced us with their winter-y presence here on the Hill. Malibu, Calif. received snow before we did! As Tufts students living in the Northeast, we expect snow to be on the ground when we return for the spring semester. We are accustomed to at least a white Christmas if not snow on the ground for NQR. So why is it that this has been such a mild winter? Why could I go running the day after Christmas in a t-shirt and shorts and be warm? Why did my ski trip to northern Vermont turn into an outdoor poolside vacation in the middle of January?

Australian Open Tennis: Women's singles
January 25And now to the women. It has been a Cinderella story in Melbourne for seven-time grand slam champion Serena Williams. The 2003 and 2005 Australian Open victor, Williams was sidelined with injuries for most of 2006, playing a grand total of four tournaments during the season, and returning home with no titles. She entered the Australian Open tournament as an unseeded wild card, ranked No. 81 in the world, and has gone above and beyond all expectations, possibly even her own. Yesterday she defeated Nicole Vaidisova in straight sets and has now become the first unseeded woman in eight years to reach the final of the Australian Open.
