...Harvard net violation put UConn on top, 5-3. Suffering from several service errors, the Huskies then stumbled into an 8-7 deficit. Sophomore Anne Carroll Ingersoll took advantage of the Husky lull and provided a crucial block for the Crimson, prompting the announcer to shout, “AC Ingersoll says no!” Objecting in its own way, UConn initiated a 4-0 run to bring the win within reach.

...Italy's sports pages duly took note of other Muslim players who observe Ramadan with varying degrees of strictness, including Siena's Abdel Kader Ghezzal, an Algerian who scored a goal against AC Milan on Saturday.

...today makes almost as little sense as George Bush’s decision to invade Iraq in 2003. An escalation in Afghanistan would inevitably bring more civilian casualties, more anti-American resentment, and in the end more recruits to Islamist terror. Last August cannon fire from one of our AC-130 gunships killed dozens of civilians, and then in October a called-in air strike killed 25 to 30 civilians, including 18 women and children.
