...Though Princeton is once again picked to finish in the middle of the pack, one spot where the Tigers are ahead of the game is at running back. Senior Jordan Culbreath, a unanimous First-Team All-Ivy pick in ’08, is back after leading the league with 1,206 rushing yards.

Linebackers Scott Britton and Stephen Cody, who combined for 166 tackles last year, lead...
...recently released U.S. News & World Report ranking of U.S. law schools placed Yale ahead of Stanford and Harvard based on the percentage of 2007 graduates from each school who received employment as judicial clerks.

...cuts in time. The White House can point to unilateral steps it has taken - like the Sept. 15 move to place the first-ever national limits on greenhouse-gas emissions from automobiles - but that might not be enough. "U.S. negotiators have made it pretty clear they won't get ahead of the stated will of Congress," says Jonathan Lash, the president of the World Resources Institute. "Without action from the U.S., it's hard to imagine a comprehensive agreement in Copenhagen...
