C30 is Volvo safe

It was not that long ago that you would have had a hard time convincing a vast majority of the American car-buying public that Volvo made a vehicle that looked stylish. Sure, the Swedish manufacturer had a ‘look’ more box than bravada, but recent years have brought great change to the looks of what is considered the benchmark company for auto safety.

Welcome to Juan Uribe's wild run. When the week began, speculation centered on the White Sox pushing their sometimes-maddening second baseman overboard. By Thursday, he provided the kind of snapshot moment that can turn a season around.
George Heller's two-run home run in the third inning effectively opened the floodgates for Burlington Central on Thursday. Trailing Hampshire by a run, Heller stepped to the plate with one out and a runner on first base and smacked an opposite-field drive over the right-field fence to give the Rockets their first runs of the game.
Pitching, hitting and defense all deserved equal credit for visiting Burlington Central on Thursday after the Rockets dropped Hampshire 11-0 in five innings for the second time this season in Big Northern Conference East Division action.
