...good to get these wins under our belt," Cadman said. "However, racing is never easy, even if the opposition is weaker, we are always racing against ourselves...
They love the Thundering Herd in Huntington. Stand anywhere in this Rust Belt, Bible Belt city of 60,000, twirl around, and you will see at least one green-and-white GO HERD sign. Young and old are wearing shirts and hats with the Heisman Trophy symbol and MARSHALL 88 on them--acknowledging the presence among them of wide receiver and Heisman Trophy candidate Randy Moss.

Levi Strauss's U.S. sales last year hit $4.3 billion, but fierce competition and a leveling off of demand forced it to announce last week a round of belt-tightening measures. The company will close 11 factories in four states and lay off 34% of its North American workforce. Levi's, which has nurtured a culture of progressive corporate responsibility, cushioned the bad news with a $200 million severance package, including extended benefits...
